Topic: distributing crystal report Posted: 24 Oct 2007 at 2:05pm
hello All, i developed a windows application in vb.net 2003. i created crystal reports using crystal report 11 and am using crystalreportviewer component in .net to load the reports in to it at runtime.
I had done projects like this before but they were all within the local office so i just installed the crystal report on each system.
But this project needs to be distributed. If i add the crystal report viewer and other crystal dll's in the bin directory and distribute it ......it does not work on a computer that does not have crystal report 11 installed on it.
Can some one please tell me how can i distribute my application so the crystal reports are loaded onto the viewer component when the form containing the viewer is open.

You have to download the merge modules that are compatible with CR XI and make sure you have the latest service packs installed on your dev machine. You can't just copy DLLs over b/c there is a lot done to the registry and this is all taken care of when you include the merge modules from the BOBJ website in your Setup.exe project.
