Is there a way to programatically determine if Crystal Reports for VS 2005 is installed on a client machine?

Not that I know of officially, but the quickest thing I would do is look for CR DLL that gets installed with VS.NET. Should also be pretty easy to look for the proper CR folders within the .NET installation folder. A little research would make it easy to figure what to check for.

Thanks for the response. 
 
I was not as clear as I could have been.  I wanted to know if it there is a way to programatically determine if the CR redistributables for CR VS2005 have been installed on an end users computer, not on a development computer.

I can't tell you how to do it, but I would take a computer that had the redistributables installed and determine where/what is installed and what you can use to test for existence on other machines.

Look it up in the registry.
view, e-mail, export, burst, distribute, and schedule Crystal Reports.
