Read the documentation for Installshield. If you are still stuck, Installshield has their own support forums.

SQL Server is not a distributable component, you attach your database to an existing installation of it.

You haven't mentioned which version of visual studio you are using. As you have tagged C# 4.0, I am assuming that you are using Visual Studio 2010.

First of all, you need to add a setup project to your solution. If you haven't done this earlier check foloowing for the detailed steps-
How to: Create or Add a Setup Project[^]

Then
1. right click on the setup project
2. select properties
3. click on prerequisites button
4. select SQL Server

Hope, it helps :)

Update: I apologise. Have proposed wrong solution as I have missed to take "Installshield" in to account.However, if you are using Visual Studio 2012 then you can refer to the following article to get your job done.
