Answer 1

I found an easier way around

1. run your app and create the DB in the default location

2. Open Microsoft Sql Server Management Studio (or you prefer IDE) and create a new connection to point to (localdb)\mssqllocaldb

3. Script Database as CREATE

4. Change the path in the FILENAME

5. Remove the DB you created on step 1 (choose close existing connections)

6. Run the script

Your application should work without changing anything in the config
