    Unable to find the requested .NET framework data provider

       
      Applies To 
       
      Product(s): RAM Structural System; RAM Modeler
      Version(s): 11.30.00.00 and later
      Environment:  N/A
      Area:  Installation
       

    Error or Warning Message

    After creating a new model, the following error occurs when attempting to open RAM Modeler:

    "Unable to find the requested .NET framework data provider. It may not be installed."

    If the error is ignored and the Modeler is launched, another error will appear indicating a problem with the working directory copy of the file with the .db.sdf extension.

    Reason

    A dependency named Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition is not installed properly.

    Solution

    Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition is not installed correctly. Please perform the following steps:

    1. Uninstall it from the Add or Remove Programs (Windows XP) or Programs and Features (Windows Vista/7/8) control panel.
      If running RAM Structural System 14.06.xx or later: Remove either Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0 or Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0 x64.
      If running RAM Structural System 14.05.xx or earlier: Remove Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition.
    2. Reinstall the component.
      If running RAM Structural System 14.03.xx or later: Open the RAM Structural System installer (e.g. rss14030000en.exe or ramm14050300en.exe), and click the Install button next to Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition.
      If running RAM Structural System 14.02.xx or earlier: Run SQLServerCE31-EN.msi located in RAM Structural System\Prog.
