I am designing a database using sql server express. Once completed how can I include sql server express and my database into the msi package to automatically install in the client's machine?

You may find life is simpler to go another way - the last time I needed something similar I decided SQLite would do better for me, requiring nothing more than a single DLL to be referenced.

I've never used SQLite. Is there a SQLite adapter and could it be used with the ADO.net Entity Framework?

Don't know, sorry, I've never tried that. The basic .Net component you're looking for is System.Data.SQLite - sqlite.phxsoftware.com
