two ways: attach your database to your program and change connection string accordingly,
or add another project to your solution that creates the necessary database (a simple console app) from a text file that contains the script of database creation. You can launch this project executable after installation as a custom action, launch it on the first run of program, or launch it after verifying that your database is absent in the computer.
i prefer last item of the second approach
