Embedded database server engine

Question

I am looking for something that could enable my application (.Net 4.0) to access a locally hosted database without the need for a server.

If this solution supports Entity Framework, that would be the best.

I have already tried Firebird + DDEX, but after countless hours of unsuccessfully trying to set it up as a provider for VS 2010 (Pro), I'm afraid this solution needs to go in the "Unpractical" bin.

Any other proposition ?

I suggest to use SQL Compact Edition 4.0: http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/editions/2012-editions/compact.aspx

I thought this version still required some services to be installed on the client's. But if it is completely embedded, I'll choose this as I am a bit tired of playing around with 3rd parties.
