Rafik,

It appears that the following DbDataProvider entry conflicts with <add name="SQL Server Compact Edition Data Provider" ... > and <add name="SQL Server Compact Edition Client Data Provider" ... >

When running Orcas March 2007 CTP under Vista without installing SQL Server 2005 Express. Thus the comment tags. See http://oakleafblog.blogspot.com/2007/03/orcas-march-ctp-on-vista-database.html and http://oakleafblog.blogspot.com/2007/03/orcas-march-2007-ctp-installation.html for more details on the problem. It's not a problem under Windows Server 2003 R2. I'll be testing Windows XP SP2 shortly. (All under Virtual Server 2005 SP1 CTP.)

Vista isn't the culprit for the problem noted in the preceding comment. The offending line was missing from machine.config in the Windows Server 2003 R2 installation. See updates at http://oakleafblog.blogspot.com/2007/03/orcas-march-ctp-on-vista-database.html.

Also, there are links to a couple more confirmations that the fix works.
