How to obtain the build version of SQL Server Compact

To obtain the build version of SQL Server Compact that is running on the computer, check the version of the SQL Server Compact DLLs. To obtain the build version of the DLLs, follow these steps:
  1. Locate a SQL Server Compact Edition DLL in the following folder:
    %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition
    For example, the Sqlceca35.dll file is one of the DLLs for SQL Server Compact 3.5.
  2. Right-click a SQL Server Compact Edition DLL, and then click Properties.
  3. In the Properties dialog box, click the Version tab.
  4. On the Version tab, notice the number after File version.
If you installed SQL Server Compact 3.5 or a later version, you can also follow these steps to obtain the build version:
  1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
  2. Locate the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\<ProductVersion>
    Note ProductVersion is a placeholder for the product version of SQL Server Compact that is running on the computer. For example, if SQL Server Compact 3.5 is running on the computer, the value of ProductVersion is v3.5.
  3. Notice the value of the DesktopRuntimeVersion registry entry.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
