INTRODUCTION

Cumulative Update 2 for SQL Server Compact 3.5 Service Pack 2 contains hotfixes for the Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 issues that are fixed since the release of SQL Server Compact 3.5 Service Pack 2.

Note This build of the cumulative update package is also known as build 3.5.8082.00.

We recommend that you test hotfixes before you deploy them in a production environment. Because the builds are cumulative, each new fix release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server Compact 3.5 fix release. We recommend that you consider applying the most recent fix release that contains this hotfix.

  • This cumulative update package is only released for 32-bit and 64-bit desktop versions of SQL Server Compact 3.5 Service Pack 2. If you want to have one of these fixes for the device platform, contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support.

How to install the cumulative update package

To install the cumulative update package, follow these steps:

  1. Download and locate the SSCERuntime-ENU.exe file.

  2. Double-click the SSCERuntime-ENU.exe file to start the extraction process.

  3. In the SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 Self-Extractor dialog box, specify the folder to contain the extracted files, and then click OK.

  4. Move to the extraction folder that you set in step 3.

  5. Double-click the SSCERuntime_x86-ENU.msi file or the SSCERuntime_x64-ENU.msi file, and then follow the setup instructions.

On 64-bit computers, install both the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions of the SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 CU1 MSI files. Existing SQL Server Compact 3.5 applications may fail if the 32-bit version of the MSI file is installed on a 64-bit computer. Developers should attach both the 32-bit and the 64-bit MSI files together with their applications and install both on 64-bit computers.

For more information, refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) article 974247 or the Install.txt file that is extracted together with the MSI files.

 

How to uninstall the cumulative update package


To uninstall the cumulative update package, follow these steps:

  1. In Control Panel, open the
    Add or Remove Programs
    item.

    Note If you are using Windows 7, in Control Panel, open the Programs and Features item.

  2. Find the entry that corresponds to “Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 ENU” and “Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 X64 ENU”. Then, right-click each of them and select “Uninstall” to uninstall the cumulative update.

Because SQL Server Compact cumulative updates install the whole product, step 2 will also uninstall SQL Server Compact 3.5. If you want to install SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 again, you must install the MSI files one more time. You can download the MSI files at the following URL:
