That makes sense as it did install the Crystal Reports Basic Runtime for Visual Studio 2008 before installing the SQL Server Compact.
Thank you Chris and Carl.. Please send direct emails to me with any responses related to this thread since it is not directly in relation with the ARS.. Thank you all...

How does this differ from the regular SQL server? ** That replaced the old MSDE (Microsoft Data Engine) instances that things like Crystal Enterprise installed (that were code-red vulnerable ootb). They were basically unmanaged instances of SQL Server 7, 2000, or 2005. It should be fairly secure since it is SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 vintage. If you install the SQL Server 2008 Tools you can manage it, assuming that it does not come with its own management interface; MSDE never did.

How does this differ from the regular SQL server? ** I recently purchased an OBD II Reader (for reading onboard diagnostics on my car), and the data link connector for a PC installs a MS SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1. I had never heard of this product (SQL Server ‘Compact’) until I just had to install both the 32 and 64 bit version of it to support the data link connector for the OBD II reader.. Has anyone had to use this (SQL Server Compact) in the past? How does this differ from the regular SQL server that we use for lets say the AR System?? Joe PS: Since this is no relation with the AR System, please reply to me directly if you will and spare the bandwith on the list. I was tempted to ask the list here only because this tool uses a RDBMS which is a type of the MS-SQL server so some of you might have had to use it with some other non-related tools.. _attend WWRUG12 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ _attend WWRUG12 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
