In your report project you need to ensure your references include:

* CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine

* CrystalDecisions.ReportSource

* CrystalDecisions.Shared

* CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms

* CrystalKeyCodeLib

* KEYCODEV2Lib <= This one is a COM used to verify your Crystal Decisions license



In your Setup Project you need to add:

* managed.msm

* regwiz.msm <= This one requires you to put your AlphaNumeric KeyCode (not the numeric one) from HELP ... ABOUT ... INSTALLED PRODUCTS ... Crystal Reports for Visual Studio.Net {This Number is the one you need} and put it in it's properties under (MergeModuleProperties) ... License Key

* VC_CRT.msm

* VC_STL.msm

i did all the thing that you mentioned. it is working. but the setup size is very high.

but,
vb.net setup project automatically added the "database_access.msm" as a ditect dependency . i exclude this file from the setup because i am not using any database thing. now it isn't working.... same error... must i have to add the database_access.msm too ??

where is the problem ?? can't i use cristal report without database_access.msm ?

If you are making a report then you are most likely pulling data from a database. Am I wrong in thinking this? If I am right then that is why it quit working.

If you give me a little better idea of the use of the program I may answer your question better.
