There is no way of interacting with the mdf file of Sql Server unless you have an instance of Sql Server running. That means you either have to install Sql Server on the local machine or Sql Server express. Sorry.

Hope this helps

Do you mean "I have written an application which uses an SQL server database. When I install it on a different machine, it want the application to work without any installation of SQL Server"?

If so, then you can't - SQL server databases need SQL server to be installed and available in order to work. If you are trying to use it as a single user database, however, you could fairly easily convert your program to work with either SQLCE (which requires no installation at all, but does not support Stored Procedures) or SQLite.
