Provided you use ADO.net, you never need to install anything else on the client.
The server has to have the server installed, there's no way around that.
You might want SQL Server Compact instead, but you still need to install it.

The server will need only its operating system (Windows) and the database engine. It won't even need the "advanced tools".
Just be sure to open the appropriate network port.
