Anyone have any experience using this method of database deployment with .Net desktop apps?.

What worries me is that you ship the .mdf file with your exe and it's attached at runtime to the local SQL Express instance and released when you finish using it but SQL authentication is disabled. What is to stop someone just copying the .mdf file to a machine with a full copy of SQL server and attaching the database?

Thanks
Eric.
