[RESOLVED] SDF Error in Vista

[scsfdev]

Hi all,

I have created an application on Win XP which includes read and write data to SDF file.

When I tested it in XP, its working well.
When I tested it in Vista Business Edition, it shows the following error.

Unable to load DLL 'sqlceme30.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

Anyone has faced this kind of problem before?

Thanks.

Hi Mod, If my post is not in the correct place, please kindly move it to where it should be. Thanks.

Have you deployed the SQL Server CE libraries with your app? If SQL Server CE is already installed then they aren't required but if it's not then they are. I'm guessing that your XP system has SQL Server CE already installed, so the required libraries are installed in the GAC, while the Vista system doesn't have it installed so you need to provide the libraries.

Thanks jmcilhinney.

Yes, this is the point, I didn't include the libraries for CE. Now I just install the sqlce installer and its working now.

thanks.
