Error 175: The specified store provider cannot be found in configuration - Sql Server CE

Question

oI am building a WPF application in .net 4.0. I have a local DB .sdf file. I am using EF to connect to the DB. When building the application I get Error 175: The specified store provider cannot be found in configuration

I tried droping and recreating both the model and the sdf file. I tried everything detailed in this link and the blog post it was taken from.

I cannot get this error to go away. The application runs on my machine (The error is in the edmx file, so it still runs), but when I publish it and run the installer on another computer, I get the same error in a messagebox.

My local machine is Windows 2008 R2 64bit with VS2010 installed. The machine I'm installing on is Windows 7 32bit.

Edit: Also tried this and got the same result.

I donwloaded SQL Server CE again and did a repair install, then reopned VS2010, did a build and the error went away.

I uninstalled and reinstalled and it didn't help, so I don't really know why this did, but there you go.

It added entries to your machine.config file dbProviders section. – ErikEJ Jan 21 '13 at 07:51
@ErikEJ - The entries were there before. I checked. In fact, I copied from there to my app.config. – Elad Lachmi Jan 21 '13 at 08:17
