Can a .NET application using SQLServerCe Database be Portable?

Question

I have created an app that utilizes a SQLServerCE database. I can run the application on the development PC, however, when I run it on a different PC, I get an error. I DO NOT WANT TO INSTALL SQLServerCE to the target PC if I don't have to nor do I want to manually register the dll. Is there a way to embed this in the application?

Thanks,

neech
