Cannot find keycodeV2.dll, or invalid keycode

I have create a setup package for reporting purpose, after installed it, i tried to run the application, prompt a meassage like this "Cystal report windows forms Viewer, Cannot find keycodeV2.dll, or invalid keycode". Anyone pls help me on this.

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.
