During step 2 of Umbraco 4.5.0 configuration wizard I have only 3 types of databases in the type drop-down list: MS SQL, MySQL and custom. How can I choose embedded database?
I usually select 'custom' in the drop down and provide the connection string myself, that should work with an embedded database like SQL CE as well. Here is some information about connection strings that might get you going, although if you connect to your data source from withing Visual Studio it will take care of that as well, you should be able to copy and use it right away.
Umbraco 4.5.0 configuration wizard: can't select embedded database

Do you mean an Instance of SQL Server that's running from app_data? If so, choose MS SQL and enter the connection string when it prompts you to.
If you mean VistaDB, that was dropped due to an issue with the licensing I believe.
