I don’t think I’ll get an answer to this one, because it’s so obscure, but what the heck. I’m trying to INNO setup to install SQL COMPACT as part of the install process.
I’ve got the correct script, which downloads the file SSCERuntime-ENU. But it looks like the download has changed because INNO SETUP always says it’s not a valid installer. So I unpacked it and there’s 2x MSI’s for X86 and X64. I want my application to run on both X86 and X64, so I’ll need to run both install packages.
Anyway, has anyone come across this before? Is there’s an easy way to tell the SSCERuntime to install one or both versions? I can’t seem to find a command line parameter to do that since the runtime appears to be self extracting archive which drops both those MSI packages…
Help!
Okay, so numerous frustrating hours later. I gave up trying to get the installer to run and it appears I can just include the SQL CE DLL’s directly into the bin directory and it doesn’t need to be installed. I’ve tried this under Win7x86 and WinVistax86. But I’m just trying it under Win7x64 to make sure it picks up the correct version. According to everything I’ve read so long as the app is compiled to run under x86 it shouldn’t need the x64 SQL CE files…
