1: Install the relevant runtime MSI (3.5 SP2 or 4.0) http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5783 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30709

2: Install the SQL Server Compact Toolbox VS Extension, and browse to the database file, it will also add the connection to Server Explorer (if you really need that)
