You can package a database (not sql server) into your front end installation.
Either the following will work:
1) Take a backup of your DB into the package: in your setup, you can restore it to a sql server.
2) Take a copy of detached DB into the package: in your setup, you can attached it to a sql server.
3) Generate database script and existing data script and pack them into your script: in your setup, you can run the script to install the database.

You can install SQL Express or MSDE which is a limited version of SQL Server. The install of either one can be included in the install of your application. I have done it using WinBatch. You can also create the database and tables in it with WinBatch after installing it. The language in WinBatch allows you to do this.
