You may find life is simpler to go another way - the last time I needed something similar I decided SQLite would do better for me, requiring nothing more than a single DLL to be referenced.

I've never used SQLite. Is there a SQLite adapter and could it be used with the ADO.net Entity Framework?
Don't know, sorry, I've never tried that. The basic .Net component you're looking for is System.Data.SQLite - sqlite.phxsoftware.com
Lately I've been using SQLCE 4 with the EntityFramework 4.1. Here is a link for deploying SQLCE erikej.blogspot.com/2011/06/…
