window application with database setup

Question

I have a windows application which is uses SQL Server as its database. For this application I want to create a setup file for other desktops but I don't want to install SQL Server on each and every client. Can you please suggest how to create Windows application with local storage setup file without installing any databases or framework libraries?

If all the client uses same database you can centralize the database and access it through LAN IP. If not SQL Server express is mandatory to work with database. However you can also use SQLite database which is the lighter version of SQL Server and it is a shared db file.
