Hi
I've written a small application (in VB 5 Enterprise Edition) that uses crystal report for report generation. I just compile my project into EXE (Native Code), WITHOUT using application setup wizard. All the necessary DLLs and OCXs are put together with the Executable file in a folder. I can run my executable file on other PCs that don't have pre-installed VB5, the only problem is I CAN'T run the part that uses Crystal Report ActiveX. A message like "Component Crystl32.ocx Not Correctly Registered: File Is Missing Or Invalid" appears, and then the program suddenly quits.
In fact, I also packed the Crystl32.ocx and Crpe32.dll (Engine) in the same folder , and then I made another copy of these files into the windows\system\ directory, the message still appears. As I read thru the documentation, there's no need to include Crystl32.ocx but Crpe32.dll in a compiled and distributable program. I don't know why there's a message prompting me that Crystl32.ocx is not registered correctly. In this case, should I install a FULL CRYSTAL REPORT PROGRAM on any PC that runs my program ? Or else, how can I REGISTER the Crystl32.OCX on other PC ? Oh, What a headache.
Thanks for your attention and reply in advance.
