Not if you have a true Client - Server application that connects to the server.
Installing SQL Server with an installer is a bit complicated, for this I would recommend: Inno Setup Dependency Installer[^]

As SQL Server is complicated to install with your application, you might be interested in PostgreSQL which is much simpler to bundle with your application, see example here: how to make instalation postgresql binaries with inno setup[^]

If your application is meant to work standalone and does not need a server, it maybe simpler to use: LiteDB :: A .NET embedded NoSQL database[^]
