You need to include all the required elements in your install package.

Exactly I have no idea, because I do not know anything about your application.

What package is required to support .sdf databases? You need to include that. What is the path to your database? You need to ensure it is correct on the target system. Search Google for installers that will automate it for you.

Just so you know, a .sdf database uses SQL Compact which is no longer supported. I suggest looking into SQL Server 2014 LocalDB.
