Deploying vb.net App with inno script

I have a vb.net App attached to a SQL MDF database.  Inno Script supports .net 45  The database is version 852.(2016+) MsSQLLocalDB will only run version 782database.   since inno script doesn't check for or install dotnet46, or the local db version, how do either:
ADD the new files to connect to this database or
Is there an existing script for the new version of dotnet.

OR should i consider a different installer.  This is not an area of my expertise and this will be installed on many different machines as a local APP.   I could use some advise.  Thanks

So, what do you need to install with your product - dotnet 4.5, or sql server express, or both?

The problem i have is that INNO only has dotnet4.5 included i really need to install 4.6 if i do that, i need to install the localDB for 4.6 as well to insure that the database will run.  The 2014 version of MSSQLLOCALDB won't connect to the database and i really don't have a way to reduce the version on the database.  i need an MSI file for MSSQLLOCALDB for 4.6 and dot net 4.6 script for inno.

I think it makes sense for me to keep the dotnet separate as you mentioned.  Thank you for the link.
