While creating a new model, if you select a SQL Server Compact (aka SQL CE) database and choose EF6, the EntityFramework.SqlServerCompact package is not installed into the user's project. The design-time experience will work fine, but when the user runs their project, they will receive the following error
> No Entity Framework provider found for 'System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0' ADO.NET provider. Make sure the provider is registered in the 'entityFramework' section of the application config file. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more information.
We should consider either...
1. Installing the EntityFramework.SqlServerCompact automatically
2. Stop treating SQL Server Compact specially at design-time (i.e. Make it like any other third-party provider)
