Weird Exception with SQL Compact Edition

Question

Hi all, I've deployed my application on a new machine, I've installed the Compact Edition Runtime and got a weird exception. I coudln't locate any info about that on the web furthermore, ways to solve it.

Maybe you've encountered it?

This is the exception:

Type : System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException, System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version=3.5.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91

Message : The specified locale is not installed on this machine. Make sure you install the appropriate language pack. [ LCID = 1037 ]

Source : SQL Server Compact ADO.NET Data Provider Errors : System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeErrorCollection HResult : -2147467259 NativeError : 25130 Data : System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal

Thanks, Ariel

Answer 1

It's complaining about the locale. The website in your profile indicates you're from Italy. Is it possible you installed the italian version on an english machine, or vice versa?

Answer 2

Seems to be related to Hebrew localization. LCID 1037 is the Hebrew locale identifier.

Answer 3

Well what ever solved it was to install support for left-to-right languages. But it still puzzles me what is the reason for that. we use no such languages either in the app or the db. I shall need to investigate.
