  Windows embedded before v2.5 was based on SS architecture. In v2.5 it is based on Classic architecture
(SuperClassic to be precise). So, be ready - some default settings is changed. For example, page cache by
default will be 75 pages, not 2048 as before. Also, your application will open database file in non-exclusive
mode and another instance (or app) might attach at the same time.
