The official release of 1.0.66.0 (from http://sqlite.phxsoftware.com/) never supported Visual Studio 2010, nor the .NET Framework 4.0. There were several "unofficial" modifications to 1.0.66.0 that attempted to support Visual Studio 2010; however, I have no idea who worked on those efforts. Officially, support for Visual Studio 2010 and the .NET Framework 4.0 was added sometime around version 1.0.67.0, as seen here: https://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/news.wiki The newly refactored designer support for Visual Studio (including 2010) was not added until around version 1.0.78.0. > > Yes I discovered that prior to posting here, I had tried debugging it as it was > running (BREAK=1, attach), but I have no experience with Visual Studio extensions, > nor how to interface designers with the Visual Studio shell, so I quickly realized > I have no idea what is "right" vs. what is "wrong" when I was stepping through the > code. > The code for the "installer.exe" file basically sets up a bunch of registry keys and modifies a couple .NET Framework configuration files. The complexity is mostly due to the extra safety checks and validation it performs during the process, including supporting a "what-if" mode and full logging support. > > I have found this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11291423/sqlite-with-visual- > studio-2012-and-net-4-5, someone seems to have worked out a way to make the 1.0.66 > designer support continue to work for VS 2012 (apparently, there is something > different that prevents this from "just working" like it did from VS 2008 to VS > 2010), but I don't feel comfortable with the author's solution, as it is an opaque > binary that I have no real idea what it is doing.
