I can't be the only one confused by SQL Server on mobile devices. I am
trying to get the new SQL Server 2005 CE on my Windows CE 5.0 device. In
Platform Builder I have SQL Mobile listed as a catalog item. That is what
I'm using right now. It comes with .dll files that are dated for 9/2/2005
and version numbers of 3.00.5206.0. This has to be SQL Mobile 3.0. To me it
looks like SQL Server 2005 CE has files dated 12/22/2006 and version numbers
of 3.00.5300.0. I found this KB article on MSDN:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918066

It says "A supported software update to resolve this issue is now available
from Microsoft." Where is that update at? Are they talking about adding SQL
Mobile to Platform Builder? Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Yes, they are talking about SQL Mobile. This is the same thing as SQL
Server 2005 Mobile Edition. There were several name changes in the process,
and it's now called SQL Server Compact Edition, I think. Your SQL Mobile
component is the one you need.
