Huh? SQL Server Compact (Edition) has no user interface, no "program" to
start. It's a database engine that has a programmatic interface. What did
you expect to find?

I am trying to install from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=85e0c3ce-3fa....

I do not get any errors while running the install program; I see CE
listed when I look at 'Add or Remove programs'. I see dlls on my c:\
drive. But nothing appears under Start>All Programs>Microsoft Sql
Server 2005 Compact Edition outside of books online. I've tried
uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, installing the beta, etc. Same
result. Any ideas what's wrong?- Hide quoted text -

As shown in this article, http://www.devx.com/dotnet/Article/33049/0/page/2,
I expected to see "Microsoft SQL Server Mobile Edition" or something
similar when I tried to add a data connection inside Visual Studio.
