Please show the connection strings, remember we are not at your PC and cannot see what is happening.

Any attempt to use an SQL database requires access to a working SQL Server instance: your connection string is trying to establish a connection between your application and an instance of MS SQL on the same computer - that's what "(LocalDB)" means, it's an "execution mode" targetted at developers, not a way to access a DB without SQL Server installed. The string tries to start an SQL server instance as a stand alone entity to process only the DB file you are attaching. It still needs SQL Server installed and working!

If you want to use a DB without installing SQL Server, then you need to change your code to use a single user DB system, such as Access, SQLCE (Not recommended any more), or SqLite - none of which require more than a couple of DLL files which can be easily added to your application installation program.
