I have followed the tut here: http://blog.krisvandermast.com/UsingAccessInsteadOfSQLServerForYourASPNETApplicationServices.aspx
I added the dll and the aspnet.mdb files as explained above, my website compiles without error with this web.config
<?xml version="1.0"?>

web admin tool to configure settings for your application. Use
the Website->Asp.Net Configuration option in Visual Studio.

<configuration>

The <customErrors> section enables configuration
of what to do if/when an unhandled error occurs
during the execution of a request. Specifically,
it enables developers to configure html error pages
to be displayed in place of a error stack trace.
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="GenericErrorPage.htm">
<error statusCode="403" redirect="NoAccess.htm" />
<error statusCode="404" redirect="FileNotFound.htm" />
</customErrors>

</system.web>
</configuration>
But in asp.net config tool, I can't see listed any provider including mine ? What could be missing then ?
