This provides a detailed description of how to perform a deployment using the Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 2.0 merge modules.
System Requirements

System System .msm File
x86 (32bit) CrystalReportsRedist2005_x86.msm
IA64 (64bit) CrystalReportsRedist2005_ia64.msm
x64 (64bit) CrystalReportsRedist2005_x64.msm

When deploying your system using the Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 2.0 merge modules, please ensure that the following dependency files are available in the \Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules folder. Without these dependency files in place, the setup will fail.
