How to include an updated version of SQL Server Compact 3.5 in ClickOnce installation?

Question

Hi,

I encountered a bug with SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 that caused my WPF application to crash when querying the database. Reading the msdn forums I discovered a beta 2 of SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 that fixes the issue. Here

And the forum post where the issue is discussed can be found here

How can I include this version of SQL Server Compact 3.5 with the clickonce installation as currently clickonce will download and install the bugged SP1 when setup is run?

Thanks,

Have I got a deal for you. You don't say how you deployed your current version of SQLCE. If you deploy the dll's locally, you can update them whenever you want to, and not have to force the user to install another prerequisite. There's a blog posting here on how to do this.
