    SQL Compact 3.5 missing in VS2008proSP1

    Hi,

    I have just tried to install / uninstall / re-install / repair
    SQL Server compact edition into my VS 2008 Pro SP1

    My SQL Server works fine,

    However the compact edition does not seem to show in the datasource options
    at all.
    As a result, when I go and add a 'local database' I get an error.

    I have searched the net and can't seem to find a soltuion ( still
    searching ).

    Any help would be appreciated.



    Cheers'

    Solved:

    I had to go to the cd and go to WCU\SSCE
    and run SSCEVSTools-enu.msi

    Cheers'
