Hi there everyone! First off, I apologize if I'm not posting this thread in the right forum.
I developed in my laptop (Windows XP, C# 2008, SQL Server Express 2008) a simple program in C# that includes a .mdf file (SQL Server Express database file).
In my computer it works like a charm, but not in a PC running Windows 7. After googling a little, I found out there are some compatibility issues between SQL Server 2008 and Windows 7 that supposedly could be resolved by installing SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1. I did it, and it didn't work :confused:...
So, the bottom line would be... what should I do to ensure that my program will be compatible with Windows 7? Should I try with SQL Server Express 2010?
Thanks in advance!

First of all, a .mdf file is a SQL Server database file, and requires SQL Server, or SQL Server Express, be installed on the computer that has the file. With that said, I run Windows 7 with SQL Server Express 2005 and 2008, with no issues.
