All right, you screwed up something, but how can we know what? Due to hot weather, my access to your hard drive is somewhat limited.

You probably do not have SQL Server installed on the target computer. But "does not work" tell us nothing about your problem so it's just a guess.

Go to www.connectionstrings.com and learn about connection strings.

You can simply claim SQL server as a prerequisite. This is perhaps the best way. This way, the users can use whatever license they have.
