<pre>how i can run my application on client computer without sql server 2005 database.?</pre> You can't. SQL Server 2005 will need to be installed somewhere so that you can attach the database to the SQL Server instance. <pre>what is necessary to load sql server 2005 on client computer when i am install my application setup with .mdf database file on client computer?.</pre> They will need to purchase a license for SQL Server and install it on a computer. If the database is small enough they can download the express edition of SQL Server which is free. You might want to look at a newer version of SQL Server than SQL Server 2005 as that is 6 years old and there have been two major releases since then with another coming later this year (2011) or early next year (2012).
