Do you mean a Client, not a Clint?
If so, then you don't install SQL Server on clients: that defeats the whole idea.

1) They may already have SQL Server installed on the network. If so, then they will presumably want to use that version.
2) If they do have SQL server installed and you start proliferating SQL server Express instances, you are going to annoy the heck out of the database administrator...
3) A single site installation of SQl Server is a lot more likely to be backed up than a number of scattered version under user control.
4) Sql server is quite complex for a "normal" user to install and administer - it is not a good idea!
5) It will destroy the primary advantage of using Sql Server over SqlCE or SQLite - multiuser access. If everyone installs their own copy of SQL server, then you will have multiple copies of your database, each used by a single person. This will cause some confusion, and (depending on how you wrote the original database) may take some considerable effort to combine into a single instance when the problem is realized.

If you need multiuser access to the DB, then you need a full SQL Server installed somewhere on the LAN so that all clients access the same DB.
If you don't need multiuser access, then don't use SQL Server: use SqLite, Access, ... single user databases that require no additional installation (other than the DLL files that get added by your install program anyway).

Depends how well you wrote the app: if you wrote it correctly, then pretty much it's just a case of replacing the SqlConnection, SqlCommand, SqlDataReader, and SqlDataAdapter with the appropriate equivalents for the chosen DB. And changing your connection string of course, but that goes without saying.
