Answer 2

You can find installers on the System.Data.SQLite Dowload Page. Seteps files will suit your needs.

For example, the description of the Setups for 64-bit Windows (.NET Framework 4.0) states:

This setup package features the mixed-mode assembly and will install all the necessary runtime components and dependencies for the x64 version of the System.Data.SQLite 1.0.81.0 (3.7.12.1) package. The Visual C++ 2010 SP1 runtime for x64 is included. The .NET Framework 4.0 is required.

I have Windows 7 x64 with Visual Studio community 2015 and this solution worked for me.
Basically you need install SQLite bundel and check the "Install the designer component for Visual Studio 2015".
If you have different version from 2015 (2010/2013 etc.) just search for the bundle the suits your version.

1. Go to:
http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/downloads.wiki

2. Download "sqlite-netFx46-setup-bundle-x86-2015-1.0.104.0" (download the most updated, this is the one I found).

Or by a direct link:
http://system.data.sqlite.org/downloads/1.0.104.0/sqlite-netFx46-setup-bundle-x86-2015-1.0.104.0.exe

3. Run the setup:

This is an old question but for someone, like me, who finds this before there is a newer answer:

Basically for the latest versions of SQLite you can download an installer that includes the components

Choose the right setup for you, for me was: Setups for 32-bit Windows (.NET Framework 4.5.1) sqlite-netFx451-setup-bundle-x86-2013-1.0.94.0.exe
