crystal report / setup package

I creating a setup package for my app, which contains a Crystal Report. In my setup package I include the regwiz.msm file. This asks for a License Key...since I'm using Crystal 9.0 that came with Visual Studio, do I use the product Key from VS?

No, you have to register your copy of CR. Go ahead registering it, there is an option in Crystal Reports Desginer, and it's free.

This should help in deploying your Crystal Report applications:

thanks guys...I registered my copy of Crystal and they sent me a Keycode..that solved the KeyCodev2.ddl file is missing error I was getting...Luna question for you...remember how I was getting the userid/password screen when I running a report...you sent me code to pass the userid/password parameters...that worked fine on my machine, but now when I go to run a report on a NT test box that screen pops up asking for user/id password...any suggestions?

First: Is the location of database in your test machine the same as the dev machine?

yes, I'm using an Oracle DB out on our server...when I use other parts of the application I don't have any problems connecting to the DB, just running a report...

Maybe you have to provide the server info for the logoninfo too.

ok, I narrowed it down to an OS problem...I have two test machines ones an XP then other is NT...only the NT asks for a login and the login attemp always fails:(

well, it seems like there is a problem with Crystal 9 and NT...I created anther report in Crystal 8.5 and added it to setup package...that ran fine on NT and XP...looks like I'm going to have to convert all my reports to 8.5:mad:

with a little further testing, I've concluded that I only get the error when I use the Crystal 9.0 component shipped with VS.NET. If add a report I created in Crystal Report 9.0 the full software, it works fine on NT and XP...
