Jlomax: You 3.5 install in broken - make sure both the x86 and x64 MSIs are properly installed, or repair/reinstall.

I have SQL Server CE Cumulative Update 6 installed, and the latest from NuGet (3.3.0.4) says "Runtime 3.5 not found" With no support for SQL CE in SSMS 2012, I really hoped this extension would fill the gap.
