Attempt to attach an auto-named database when installing my app in another pc

I recently finished building this C# Winforms app that uses a localDB connection and when installing it on another PC, I get the error as shown in the title, even though I included the SQL Server Express localDB in the prerequisites folder.
I tried all kinds of solutions like changing the method of how to build the setup file (using Advanced Installer), but it seems that the problem is always related to the constant AttachDbFilename attribute of the connection string that's not changing according to where the database is newly installed.
Here's how the connection string is defined in the App.config file:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="client"
connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=C:\Users\Surface\source\repos\VisaTurbo\VisaTurbo\Client.mdf;Integrated Security=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
Please I've been stuck with this problem for 3 days now and the due date to submit the application have already been reached.
Thanks in advance

You can by example check the database file exist in %userProfile%\DBName.mdf and create a new one with https://github.com/martincostello/sqllocaldb.
But this make the connectionstrings parameters obsolete :)
You can also generate a new one with SqlConnectionStringBuilder
But if the user move the database file this will reset the application each time.
That's why in general the database in on a server, not locally stored on the user's machine.

C# MVC local database creation while App Start

When the app runs for the first time with a new connection string name it creates the Local Database files in the App_DATA folder, but it doesn't recreate it for the 2nd time if the database files missing in the App_DATA folder... Will have to change the database name given in the connectionstring. Why?
How to solve this problem?
Where it stores the state that the database has been created for the first time...
How it does the comparison/check to confirm whether the database has been created during an app start previously?
Data Source=(LocalDb)\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnet-WebDemo-20210104031025.mdf;Initial Catalog=aspnet-WebDemo-20210104031025;Integrated Security=True"
it knows the database "aspnet-WebDemo-20210104031025" has been created and looks for it in the App_Data folder. doesn't re-create it for the 2nd time when it is not available in the folder
** Didn't use code to create custom tables, just only the basic template comes with Visual Studio 2017 MVC web application including authentication(not azure- just user creation with email and so on....)

Visual Studio 2013 not creating database when I select the authentication option

I tried this on two different computers but get the same issue.
I am using the latest and greatest visual studio 2013.
I create a new project (of type Web->Asp.Net application)
Choose a template type of MVC or Web API (have same issue whatever type of template I select).
Then I change the authentication type to use individual.
The project with all the authentication code is created.
Web.config has the connection string set for a .mdf file.
<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnet-WebApplication1-20131031102303.mdf;Initial Catalog=aspnet-WebApplication1-20131031102303;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
But the mdf file is missing in the app data folder. I searched the whole computer for the mdf file, but it is not created anywhere.
As a result testing my sign in and register modules using a browser gives me the Yellow Screen Of Death with the db connection being the issue.
What am I missing here?

It should be in
C:\Users\[*yourusername*]\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\WebApplication2\App_Data

This is not a real answer to my question as to why this is happening. But here is the workaround I did to make it happen. I downloaded one of their sample projects which did have the mdf file in the app_data folder. Then I got the table schema from that mdf file and created those tables in my SQL Server database. Then I changed my connection string to point to my SQL Server database. My authentication pages worked after that with this new database. But what a pain to go through.

database file not showing in app_data in asp.net mvc4 tutorial using visual studios 2010

I'm doing this tutorial on ASP.NET: http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-4/getting-started-with-aspnet-mvc4/intro-to-aspnet-mvc-4 and I reached a stage in which I need to work with a database.
Since I'm using Windows XP, LocalDB is not an option, so I configured SQL Server Express instead.
The app is working, but I can't seem to see the MovieDBContext.mdf file in the App_Data folder.
I tried refreshing, building, running, nothing helps.
The only thing in that folder is ASPNETDB.mdf. Does this file contain what I'm looking for?
I opened it and it showed a bunch of tables related to users of the app.
My problem comes when it's time to add new fields to the movie class and coordinate it with the database, meaning I have to turn on migration.
Here are the instructions for migration:
http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-4/getting-started-with-aspnet-mvc4/adding-a-new-field-to-the-movie-model-and-table
Sadly I cannot delete the database files according to this tutorial since I don't have access to the files.
Is there a way to see the .mdf files?
my connection string is:
<add name="MovieDBContext"
connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Drivers;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Movies.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"
/>

In the order they come in your question
The only thing in that folder is ASPNETDB.mdf. Does this file contain what I'm looking for?
Probably yes, it actually depends on the name you gave to the file when it was created.
Your Connection String
Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Movies.mdf;
It looks for a file named Movies.mdf in the App_Data folder whereas your file is names ASPNETDB.mdf, either rename the file to Movies.mdf or change the connection string
Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\ASPNETDB.MDF;

Where is the SQL Server Compact file?

I have an ASP.NET MVC project that uses a SQL Server Compact database. I have the following connection string for my FoobarContext:
<add name="FoobarContext"
connectionString="Data Source=|DataDirectory|Foobar.sdf"
providerName="System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0"/>
I fired up the project and it appears to persist data as expected. However, I can't find a file named 'Foobar.sdf' anywhere. What am I missing?
Update:
It wasn't taking my connection string. Setting a breakpoint and inspecting the context, I found its ConnectionString was actually the following:
Data Source=.\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=MvcApplication3.Infrastructure.Data.FoobarContext;Integrated Security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True
Mystery solved.

It definitely should be ~/App_Data by default, but you can try running AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetData("DataDirectory") to see where ASP.Net thinks the directory exists.
If this reveals nothing of interest, you may want to make sure your windows explorer is set to show hidden files, just in case that's why you don't see the file.

It should be in a folder called App_Data off the root of your MVC project.

you should be stingy on the app folder in your project, the database file you'll find inside.
