I am hoping to get SQL Server CE working on a VGX board. Everything installs and operates ok. But because the installer loads the .dlls into the non-persistent Windows directory and apparently needs to register them with the GAC, they will not persist through a power cycle.

The issue was addressed in Topic 1364, but was later withdrawn. Is there an alternate?

You might store the SSCE files in the \FlashFX Disk\System\ folder, which is the persistent storage of system files for the VGX.

If the installer doesn't give you the option to set the destination directory, then use the methodology described in topic 168 to determine the files and registry keys that the package installs. Then use ADSCOPY and ADSREG to create an installer package of your own.

SQL CE is a pretty self-contained package. The assemblies require no registry entries or anything but the binaries themselves (unless you want them in the GAC). You can deploy the assemblies to your app folder or put them in the \FlashFX Disk\System folder as Drew suggests. Microsoft ships the assemblies (since 3.1 at least) in non-CAB format specifically so you can do this.
