Is there any MSM (Merge Module) files available to distribute the SQL CE
3.5. I have the MSI downloaded from MS downloads page, but I want to
integrate the installation with my applications setup.

As I need only the OLEDB features to populate the database on desktop, can I
distribute only certain files (E.g. DLLs) without violating the EULA?

You can (are allowed to) distribute the required DLL files with your
application. There is no MSM file.

And please read the license for doing that carefully. You cannot distribute
just the database; you have to add functionality, your application,
presumably.
