Is there any way to do this?
Update: Sorry, I should have included more information. I am trying to create and connect to a SQL CE database using System.Data.SqlServerCe in C# running on a PC (i.e. not running on a Windows Mobile device).
This code:
string connstr = "Data Source=\"" +
filename + "\";Persist Security Info=False;";
System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeEngine engine = new SqlCeEngine(connstr);
engine.CreateDatabase();
... works fine on any PC that has SQL Server 2005 installed, but fails on any PC that doesn't have it installed. I'm trying to find out if there's any way to get this to work without installed SQL Server 2005 on the machine.
