Hello,

1. Keep that database file within the project creating folder App_Data.
2. Declare the connection string into app.config file and use this connection string to connect with database.
3. Now create the setup project it will not give any error and will run fine.

If problem only in DB you can use solution 1. I have solved similar situation by creating hand made installer from scratch (winforms) but in my case I was need to deploy web app, install it on ISS, deploy DB, deploy 2 scheduled app, change config files, etc specific tasks. There is no need of this in current case.
