There is a project I’m off to start and thinking of using SQL CE to keep resources small and anyway the data would be simple enough.
I was thinking and “heard” that there is a way that u can make your app play with SQL CE without installing the runtime, with adding some dlls and voila.
I would like to start using EF4 so it would be EF4 on SQL CE.
Any points, thought?
You can just deploy the binaries that can be found in the installed directory on your development PC – meaning anyone using your app doesn’t need to run an MSI for it.

I don’t know much about EF4 and SQL-CE, but I spotted this after a short search:
