I have both 'SQL Server Compact 3.5 Service Pack 1' and 'SQL Server Management Studio 2008' (SSMS) installed on my PC. In the past, I was able to select 'SQL Server Compact Edition' from the list of 'Server Types' in the 'Connect to Server' dialog within SSMS. This entry is now missing and I have not been able to restore it.
