I have a local DB that I have in an application. When I install it on another machine I get the error
Unable to update database.. .mdf is read only.<
I solved the same problem as follows:
While creating "Setup", I manually added my database files database.mdf and database_log.ldf into the Application Folder file. But after adding these files, make sure that the ReadOnly option in the Properties section is False.
Also "connectionString" I use:
connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30"
