Re: can't find pinvoke dll 'sqlceme30.dll'



Thanks for replying Rauken

I found an article that suggested that the platform image had a currupt or
incomplete ole32.dll (which sql server ce has a dependancy on). I got in
touch with Paxar who sent me their latest platform image and that sorted the
problem.

I had the exact same problem. First I installed the cab files from a temp
folder and got the same error. After some research I found out that they
must
be installed from the Windows folder but that didn't seem to work for you?
What version of .net cf do you have installed?

I am having trouble with SQL Server Compact Edition 3.1 on windows CE 5
on a
PAXAR Monach Pathfinder Ultra 6039 device.

After I have installed it and then try and do this :

Dim CeEngine As SqlCeEngine
Dim ConnString As String = "\mydatabase.sdf"
CeEngine = New SqlCeEngine("Data Source = " & ConnString) <-- error is
thrown on this line!
CeEngine.CreateDatabase()

I get the following error :

can't find pinvoke dll 'sqlceme30.dll'

Running the same code on another windows ce 5 device works fine.

I have manually installed the following cab files into the default
installation directory i.e \windows :

sqlce30.wce5.armv4i.CAB
sqlce30.repl.wce5.armv4i.CAB
sqlce30.dev.ENU.wce5.armv4i.CAB

These install without a problem and are listed in the add/remove
programs.

I have noticed a couple of other things.

When i run query analyser on the device and create a database i get
"Failed
to initialize the provider. Please make sure that SQL Server Compact
Edition is properly installed."

When i do all the above on another device (symbol 3090) running windows
ce 5
it works fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Kevin
