problem with setup file

I have made a setup in VB. i installed the setup on another machine which doesnt have either VB or SQL server so when i execute the application, it gives me an error that SQL Server doesnot exists. I am using winsock and richtexbox control in the VB application too.

Can any one tell me how to overcome this error.
Do i have to install SQL Server on that machine also or is there any other alternative. someone suggested me to use MSDE. What is it?

It depends on where the actual sql server is installed. If your application is looking for a sql server on the same computer, then yes you need to install sql server on that machine. If your db is on a different server, then you need to have the MDAC database drivers installed on your target computer and you need a suitable connection string to connect to the sql server, and all firewall ports used must be opened.

Thanx Doug G,
I did this by creating the DSN name and then using that in the query string.
