Sounds as you have a connection string that points to a path different.

path of database

Right, connection string. I have a connection string of my database in my code, but what I'm asking is if I deploy that application in other PC do I need to follow the path stated in my code? Is there a method that once I install that application it will automatically create a folder base on the connection string or path of my code.

Yes, you have make the connection string dynamic. Application.StartupPath tell you what path application was started from.
