Basically, you've left it in the wrong place.
It's in your project file, which is a very poor idea - it needs to be installed to a read/write folder (i.e. not the application EXE folder either).

Have a look here: Where should I store my data?[^] and make sure your installation program copies it to the right folder as well.
