SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition 3.1

Does anyone know how to include SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition 3.1 into a setup program?

Here's Microsofts website: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/edition...t/default.mspx

Here's the runtime package from Microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Which includes these files:
SQLCESE30.DLL
SQLCEQP30.DLL
SQLCEME30.DLL
SQLCEOLEDB30.DLLSQLCECA30.DLL
SQLCECOMPACT30.DLL
SQLCEER30EN.DLL
System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll

The target PC only seems to work if I use Microsofts download msi package. I would like to incorporate this into the Installshield setup program. Any information would be appreciated!

You can create a setup prerequisite that will launch Microsoft SQL Sever Compact Edition redistributable using the InstallShield Prerequisit Editor, and then include it in your InstallShield setup.

But will this make the package to exe file? What should be done if the package should be MSI one?
