The official release of 1.0.66.0 (from
http://sqlite.phxsoftware.com/) never
supported
Visual Studio 2010, nor the .NET Framework 4.0. There were several
"unofficial"
modifications to 1.0.66.0 that attempted to support Visual Studio 2010;
however, I have
no idea who worked on those efforts. Officially, support for Visual Studio
2010 and
the .NET Framework 4.0 was added sometime around version 1.0.67.0, as seen
here:
https://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/news.wikiThe newly refactored designer support for Visual Studio (including 2010) was
not added
until around version 1.0.78.0.

The code for the "installer.exe" file basically sets up a bunch of registry
keys and
modifies a couple .NET Framework configuration files. The complexity is
mostly due
to the extra safety checks and validation it performs during the process,
including
supporting a "what-if" mode and full logging support.

I'm not familiar with the various links in that post; however, version
1.0.66.0 is
quite old (circa April 2010) and many issues have been fixed since then.
