How did you craete .exe/.msi. Did you include all dll's in the .exe. Where are you going to store the database.
Does the client have .net library installed on his machine

I have created .exe using following steps..
File ==> Add ==> New Project ==> Setup and Deployment.
I have added all dll's. Client doesn't have anything related to application.

I donn't know the requirement. I have searched on google and found that .net framework 4 and sql express is required

Sql Express is for education purpose. It cannot be used for production kind of stuff. I'm not sure how you are going to proceed. But looks like it is the first time you are working on a live project and facing some hurdles

You will need the framework.
This can be included in the setup - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k3bxs9z6%28v=vs.90%29.aspx[^].

You might consider below points.

1. Make sure you have add all dlls(other then .net framework) that are found in GAC. For example if you are using 3rd party controls like telerik etc. you need to add these dll in yours project, instead install 3rd party assembly on client machine.

2. if you have developed application in .net framework 4, then you need to install .net framework 4 on client machine.
