You really shouldnt use base64, its easily reversed.

My suggestion is that you switch to SQLite because:
Your application does not need a heavy database
Your application can work straight out of the box fairly easy Leightweight - you just need to deploy 2 more libraries to get SQlite going

!! I am not sure if you can encrypt the sqlite database but you certainly can set a password.

Another suggestion:
NHibernate / FluentNHibernate : Using NHibernate gives you some advantages - NO SQL and highly OOP (fluent nhibernate).

of course you can use any other database mapping framework - but i looveeee fluenthibernate :)

If you want to stick with MySQL, then your application should come with an installer that will install MySQL if not yet installed, create the database/tables (fluent nhibernate) etc.
so users can use it straight outta box - if not done yet
