Try using an application like VMware ThinApp: http://www.vmware.com/products/thinapp/overview.html[^]

SQL Server is not the kind of application that can be used in a portable situation since it has to be installed, you can try changing your database engine to :
http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki[^]
or for a SQL Server compatible one : http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki[^]

MySQL can be made portable and run in command line mode (~8mb mini-fied).
