    Missing sqlceme35.dll

    I am trying to write an application that pulls data out of a SQL
    Server CE database file, an SDF file. It works just fin on my computer
    (running XP Pro). But when a co-worker tries to run it on his XP Pro
    computer, he gets an error that it is unable to load a DLL, namely
    sqlceme35.dll.

    I am wondering why the application runs fine on my computer but not
    his?

    The app was installed on both computers using a Setup project MSI
    file.

    Developed with VS2008 with Target Framework set to 2.0.

      I think you should copy the DLL on co-worker's computer's system32
      directory then register it via regsvr32.

          That is an unaccepatable solution. We expect to eventually distribute
          this application to our customers, and would prefer that the setup
          includes everything that is needed. I tried to add the DLL as a
          reference but VS2008 would not let me.

              OK, I already had the first file since it was a reference in the
              project. I manually added the other three. I do not get the unable to
              load DLL error, but I do get an error when trying to open the
              connection. Exception message is "Unspecifie d error".
              Can we get the complete exception text ?

              And maybe a code snippet around the relevant line ?
