Hi

I have been following a step by step sample application from the microsoft
web site on creating a replicated database for a mobile application.

It was all going well until the step where i get asked to create a new
connection to the mobile database from the server explorer with in Visual
Studio 2005.

The "Microsoft SQL Server Mobile Edition" Data Source is missing.

I have a clean up todate installed of WindowsXP Profesional with:

VS2005 Beta 2
Sql Serve 2005
Sqlce30setupen.msi
SqlMobile30DeviceSdkENU.msi
Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone SDK.msi

Am i missing something. I have been up for hours searching the web and i
cant even find anything about where this comes from.

I have attempted reinstalling everything twice all full installs and still
nothing.

Some help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks for your time.

I have fixed it.

I Attempted another reinstell of VS2005. This didn't help.
I then did an add/remove features and removed the J# environment and while
removing this it installed the "Microsoft SQL Server Mobile Edition" Data
Source.

Thanks.
