I wrote a program with c# and i use database as local database and entityframework. I finished program and created an installer project to deploy it. I included database (.sdf) file to Model folder in installer project and included all dll files to Application folder from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5
my connection string is like this in App.Config file:
<configuration>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ApplicationEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/Model.Model1.csdl|res://*/Model.Model1.ssdl|res://*/Model.Model1.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlServerCe.3.5;provider connection string="Data Source=|DataDirectory|\Model\ApplicationDatabase.sdf"" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>
when I install program any other pc and run program i am gettin an exception like this:
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
I searched all the Internet and cannot find any solving method. Could you please help me?
You have to install SQL Server Compact 3.5 runtime on the Machine. You can include the installer of the compact edition into your own installer.
You can download it here, if you don't have have it already http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5783
