On which platforms is SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition supported.

Will it be possible to run SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition on the following platforms:

Windows 2000

Windows XP (if yes then on which versions of it)

Vista x86

Vista x64

Are there OLE DB providers for SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition?

I have it running comfortably on 2k, XP and Vista 32

I also have it running comfortably in VB6, VS2003 and VS2005|||

The SqlCe will run on this :

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=85E0C3CE-3FA1-453A-8CE9-AF6CA20946C3&displaylang=en#Requirements

And it's not OleDb Provider, but it's SqlCe Providers. It's use the OleDb in under layers.

OleDbConnection -> SqlCeConnection
OleDbCommand -> SqlCeCommand
....

Older versions of SQL Server

I'm going to be working on a project that needs both SQL Server 6.5 and SQL
Server 7.0. Does anybody know how I can get hold of copies of these?
Mark,
I would suspect you'd need to purchase both - online would be probably be
the cheapest i.e, EBay or (Google it). Would check with seller to ensure
validity of the product.
