In the application installer, depending on which one you're using it will be slightly different, but you will always have the option to include additional files that aren't considered "required" in order to install the application.

Set the database as one of these optional files and tell the installer to put it into the application installation folder.

That should be all that's required other than having a blank copy of the database available for the installer to pull in when it's creating the installation package (you don't really want your test data being shipped with your installation ... it happens, trust me!).

Hope that helps.
