C++ Redistributable required for private deployment of SQL Compact 4.0?

Is msvcr90.dll (the C++ redistributable included in the SQL Compact 4.0 Private folder) require开发者_Python百科d for a private deployment of SQL Compact 4.0? Thanks

Yes, it is required on the system, so if you know it is already there (Because 3.5 SP1 is installed), you can exclude it - but why take the chance? See http://erikej.blogspot.com/2011/02/using-sql-server-compact-40-with.html for more info
