You dont have to install Visual studio on clients computer. All you need is .NET framework on target machine.

For SQLExpress, If you are using Clickonce to publish your application, you can try this link [^] that shown how to customize SQLserver express edition with clickonce deployment.

There is no problem to develop an application including sqlserver and microsoft report viewer.
You just have to add it's packages when you create your setup, if there is no internet where you are installing it.
If there it internet facility then you can create a setup freely and setup it easily to the other system. It downloads required packages from internet.

You can create any application in vb.net freely.

Is there a report viewer tool in the tool panel. if not then choose it and add it to your form. the from file>New>New File you can create a report for your project. And set the data path to your report viewer.

Then try to run your project I think you can see the report as you have created. Tell me what happens.

Thanks

There are quite a few articles here on CP that can help you with deployment[^].

Here[^] is one in particular that discusses the ClickOnce method that karwavivek suggested. Or you can research a visual studio setup project articles[^].

Hope this helps.
