If you need it to work without SQL Server installed then don't use SQL Server. Use SQL Server Compact, or SQLite, or even Access at a push, they can all be used without the need to install a server application on the client.

Yes, it means your problem can't be solved. Changing to SQL Compact should be fairly easy to do, probably only involving mainly a change in the connection string and for you to set up the tables etc again. The SQL will all still work.
