Here're the SQL CE 3.5 and 4.0 packages.
There's a significiant difference in the behavior of those two!
The SQL CE 4.0 packages detect SQL CE 4.0 of ANY language. While 3.5
detects only a specific language.
The SQL CE 4.0 package could be altered to look for a specific language,
but I like the behavior as it is.
Furthermore the SQL CE 4.0 package only detects a specific version. It
does not detect any future updates.
This is because AFAIK the < and > operators in the conditions do a
alphanumerical comparision, which would lead to wrong detections. (like
'4.0.0.0' < '14.0.0.0', which is false) And I don't know how to handle
that correctly.
One option would be to detect ANY 4.0 version. (SqlCe40Version << "4.0."
(Starts with operator))
