Problem with PDW and CR11 Proj

[khandu]

I basically ran PDW to create a packake

it detects all DLL / OCX needed (around 20-30 ) nearly all are CR11

When compiling.. here are the following problems

1) It asks which DAO driver : What do i choose ? I am using DAO and MS Access Database ( MDB )

2) All the DLL destination i give as $(AppPath)\dll cause i want all of them to be in the same directory

3) When it asks for shared files.. i uncheck ALL..

The Package is made properly..

Now while installation on the same PC here are the problems

1) While installing it takes a lot of time.. not an issue.. but on some CR or MS DLL it gives an error box which says operation problem.. but i can use ignore and continue

2) it installs successfully but when i try to run a report CR it gives error..

3) and if i uninstall ( BIGGEST PROBLEM ) .. it creates a lot of problem with CR DLL and DAO35.dll and deletes/unregisters them.. but i did put all of them in 1 foder in my apppath so that it does not mess with the system folders.. but still it does... i have to reinstall CR 11 and VB6 all the time..

What all am i doin wrong.. and i has visual studio installer latest also.. have problem operating it.. cannot understand it..

please guide here.. thanks

Using PDW in that manner will cause lots of problems. You really can't install an app with PDW that uses Crystal Reports. CR limited itself to the VSI installer. I did find a way around this but placing the merge modules for CR into a seperate msi installation and installing them that way from another installer.

You will need to remove all the CR files that are included in your installation though. you can find this msi file at http://www.***********/**********.html if you want to use it.
