I have a SQL Server CE database that works fine in dev, but when installed on the client has an issue.

  • The SQL Server CE 3.5 dependencies are copied as part of the deployment.
  • The target machine is a clean Windows 7 32-bit Ultimate image.

The message for the exception in the event log is:

Internal error: Cannot open the shared memory region.

It looks like this is SSCE_M_CANTOPENSHAREDMEMORY and the site says there isn't a connection string value to change this and that these issues are typically not resolvable by the end developers.

Has anyone run into this, and if so were you able to resolve this issue?
