You are right that it is not easy to connect to the SSEE and it must be so for the reason as it isn’t intended for editing or using by 3rd parties in the first place.

Also I had some fun with the SQL Server Embedded Edition. If you decide to live with it instead of uninstallation, you can connect to it with Management Studio using this as Server Name: \\.\pipe\mssql$microsoft##ssee\sql\query For some reason, connecting with instance name does not work. Also DDL operations are not allowed in this edition. So if you need to modify the structure of the db, choose another edition. :) Nice post!
