Create local DB in Visual Studio 2013

I want to have a database application which is intended to develop with C# .I will be having only 4 tables in the database.So I prefer to have a local DB ( not a external database ) & once I try to add a database ( called servise -based database ) in visual studio I ended up with a error message saying that I must have sql sever 2008 Express.But I have installed sql sever express 2008 on my laptop.What should I do to have local DB( I just want to develop a portable software which will not be asking for any third party application to run). I have attached screen shot of error message.

Thanks in Advanceenter image description here

Using any MS SQL database considering installation of MS SQL Server or using remote instance of SQL Server. There is no other way to use SQL functionality i I'm afraid.

You might consider SqLite or Sql Compact if you don't want to isntall any software.

Also you might consider such simple solutions as XML or JSON as background data storage solution.
