Due to changes in SQL Server Compact SP2 Beta 2 and additional 64-bit version support, centrally installed and mixed mode environments of 32-bit version of SQL Server Compact 3.5 or 3.5 SP1 and 64-bit version of SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 Bea 2 can create what appear to be intermittent problems. To minimize the potential for conflicts, and to enable platform neutral deployment of managed client applications, centrally installing the 64-bit version of SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 Beta 2 using the Windows Installer (MSI) file also requires installing the 32-bit version of SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 Beta 2 MSI file. For applications that only require native 64-bit, private deployment of the 64-bit version of SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 Beta 2 can be utilized.
The existing installations of SQL Server Compact 3.5 or SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 on the computer are upgraded to the released version of SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 Beta 2 by installing SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 Beta 2 using the MSI file.
