It depends.

Normally, you would install SQL Server in one PC, and the others then connect to it over the network. The clients then need no extra installation unless they are editing teh database directly, rather than via your app.

If you are using SQL server as a standalone database that is a little overkill: consider SQLCE or Access instead. They are both a lot smaller and may be better suited to a standalone application.

SQL Server is not a small installation, and may leave security holes if you make it available to every user...

Yeah. You need to Install SQL Server on target machine. To do this goto publish & click on prerequisites & check the proper components. i.e:
SQL Server Compact ...
SQL Server.......
Crystal Report.....
.................................
And all other components you need.
