Hello

 
I want to place a Windows application which contains a Crystal Report, on to a server and have users on other servers access the application and view the Crystal Report. I have already put the application on a server. On that server I also ran the CRRedist2008_x86.msi file. If I log on to that server I can run the application and view the report. If I log onto another server and access the server that has my application and  report, I can access the application but can't view the report because it can't find the components from the CRRedist2008_x86.msi file. I DON'T want to run the CRRedist2008_msi file on every server. I don't want to purchase the CR Report Application Server. Do I have any other options? Can you some how embed what is in the CRRedist2008_x86.msi file in the vb.net program? I have Visual Studio 2008 and using Crystal Reports Basic in it. I also have CR XI to design reports. Can anyone help?
