How are you deploying your .exe file? Visual Studio ClickOnce or InstallShield? If you have a database, you'll need to do something like this:

Data Source=|DataDirectory|\\db.sdf

for connection string you have to change it by code
my.application.setting.myconnectionstring = "new connection string"

you can also use installaware to install your application with sql server on the client machine
