We can't really help there, as "it generates the problem with database." could mean anything.
But the most likely things to check are:
1) Does the client have an existing SQL Server installation?
2) Does the connection string you are using in your application correctly reference that installation?
3) Does the SQL Server installation have the database correctly added to it?
Start with the first one, and if they don't then get them to install it.
For the second, check how you store the string (it needs to be in a config file if it isn't already) and correct it for the specifics of the client SQL installation.
For the third, use the appropriate CREATE DATABASE statements to add the DB!

We can't do any of that for you - we have no access to your code, much less the client's network!
