Now that my EF app (app which accesses MS SQL server 2008 Express using EF 5 Model-first approach) is working on my development machine, I need to deploy (or install) it on a deployment machine.

What are the steps involved in setting up the deployment machine in order for my app to work correctly?

[I was thinking:

    1. Install MSSQL 2008 express on deployment m/c
    2. Execute the app.edmx.sql in SSMS to create the database and tables
    3. copy my app binaries to deployment m/c
    4. change the data Source in the connection string in the edmx file and start the app
not sure whether this will work or not.]

Seems like the steps I mentioned in my question, worked !

Here's the steps:

  1. Install MSSQL 2008 express on deployment m/c
  2. Execute the app.edmx.sql in SSMS to create the database and tables
  3. copy app binaries to deployment m/c
  4. change the data Source in the connection string in the edmx file to match to the server name (for me it was the machine name) and start the app
