    Posted: 03 Aug 2007 at 1:02am

I'm using VB.net to write a windows application.

It's ok to run at my PC but after deploy & distributed to others, I have problem to run the report.
 
Some PC can open the crystal viewer but cannot load the report.
 
Some PC can load the report but only show the header.
 
For PC with Vs.net & CR 9 installed, no problem
 
May I know what component is missing.
 
can somebody help?

Sounds like it's the merge modules not being deployed properly. I would go back and check the setup.exe program to see how its built.

There is also a chance it could be a versioning problem. I don't know how often you 'tweak' your box and install updates, but if you feel confident that your setup.exe is built correctly, then I would go to the BOBJ support site and download the latest service pack and merge modules. Install both on your machine and test and rebuild the setup. This would ensure that the versioning is clean.

Thanks for your reply. I'm a newbie to CR & VS.net

Do you mean I may have error during CR installation or VS.net installation?

I don't have those problems when I test the program in my own PC.

If it's CR installation problem, will it solve by installing the CR lastest SP?

thanks for your time.

If you're brand new to CR.NET 2003, you should pick up a copy of my book. I explain all this and give you lots of tips and tricks to save you headaches.

Anyway, the reason that it works on your computer on not the destination computer is that since you built the application on your computer, you have all the necessary libraries installed. What you are missing is these same libraries in the Setup.exe program. The Merge Modules are separate from what you have on your computer. They are complete files with every DLL needed to run CR.

What I would do is install the latest CR SP as well as get the matching merge modules on your computer. Then rebuild the app and create a Setup app using the new merge modules.
