    No, you need to install SQL Server Express too... but if you are using VB.Net that may be as simple as just ticking a box while making the installation package.


    If you want a 'non-install' version, you might be able to use SQL Server Compact instead. It still needs something to be installed, but it is just 7 DLL's.
