Solution 1

"Virtualstore"? That's where Windows deposits files which user with insufficeient privileges changed. When a file gets there, it means that the programmer designed his program not correctly!
The ProgramData directory is the correct location.

Solution 2

Just Add Your Database by changing the extension of the mdb and change exetension when the user run the application first then it will not be a read only formate

Solution 3

Move your database to "application.startuppath" and replace connection strings.

You can always access it on client machine.
