Deploy project with database

Question

Hi all,   I have created a project in windows form application, which uses a database having predefined data into it. When I create a setup file of the application the database is not there with the setup, because of which when I install my setup on other computers it doesn't work properly. Please help me to create a setup file which can have my database too.

Use the Visual studio project deployment,   MSI [Installation] files are created by the "Setup and Deployment" project in visual studio,   Add your data base files in the AppData folder and add those files in the required files while creating the installable set up   When you install automatically the database also added to teh system and your application works fine.   Reference: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766795.aspx   Mark as answer, if helpful.
