How to deploy c# app on client computer

Hezekiah Oluwabukola

Am having a problem deploying my c# application on client machine. I use advance installer for the setup.exe included with a database in the application, I use sql server 2012. When I run the setup.exe on my system it works properly also creating the database and all the tables in database query. I don't have any issue. But my problem is that when I try installing the setup.exe on another computer (client machine) the installation fail when query the database with this error: ODBC Connect: timeout exceeded, and the installation was unable to complete. Can you please put me through on how I can solve this problem and got the application installed on client's computer? Thanks so much..

Firstly, we should ensure SQL Server service is running. Secondly, we can check whether SQL Server has been installed successfully in your computer by using SQL Server Management Studio.
1.Open the “Start” option in your computer, search “SQL Server Management Studio” and click it.
2.Select “Database Engine” in Sever Type tab.
3.If you installed a default instance (the instance name is MSSQLSERVER), please use as the server name. If you installed the named instance (you change the instance name during installing SQL Server instance), please use \. Additionally, if it’s a named instance, please ensure SQL Server Browser Service is running.
4.We can select “Windows Authentication” mode and select “Connect”.
