It depends on what tool you're using to create setups. I just create a Win32 C++ program that installs my requirements, but depending on your target market and what version of SQL Server you need or expect, it's complicated, ideally I guess you'd ship with the free version of SQL Server, install that only if required, then write code to deploy your database to the DB they provide a connection string for ( which then in turn is also needed by your program ). I don't believe the free setup tool inside VS will do what you want, I think you need to do what I suggested, or buy something.
