Every time I try to run my app. on my wife’s PC I get an Error, it happens when I try to fire up Crystal Reports Viewer. It is telling me that it cannot find keycodev2.dll.
So my question is, Do I have to purchase some special License to distribute it??
Thanks for any help!
No, but is sounds like you don't have the right versions of the crystal dlls for her OS. Verify your versions (you can do a search on crystal decisions site for your error to get more details).
BTW, Kawasaki's rule (at least for MX)!
Yes you need to add the product code to the Merge modules yoou imnported when you created the installation.
The key code can be found by doing help about in VS and under about against crystal reports will be a 20 char code.
Copy that info.
The in your project, click the RegWiz module that you brought in as a merge module for crystal reports.
If you did not import these merge modules,there is a link on the Crystal Reportssupport site which tells yoou which merge modules are needed.
On my machine it is called Crystal_RegWiz2003.msm
Then click on properties
The first property has a + beside, click on that at will ask for the Licence key.
Copy in the product code, yes all of the data copies so delete the Crystal reports part of it, my own key starts AA....
that should do it.
Thanks!!!
I'll try it when I get home
I did as you suggested but it did not work.
It is still giving me the same error.
:confused:
I don't know what it is but I can't get it to work!
Now it is telling me load report failed!
:mad:

You have installed on a win98 machine and here is another twist, you now need to copy from your own machine a dll called
dbghelp.dll into the windows system32 directory on your target machine. Appplies to Win98 only.
This was a reported bug / fix again on the Crystal decisions support site.
Don't worry you are not the only one to have gone through the pain of distributing crystal reports.
One other url I keep recommending for anything to do with crystal reports, is www.crystalreportsbook.com
I have nothing to do with the author of this book but it is my constant reference guide in all things to do with crystal reports.
Thanks! But unfortunately I’m not using W98 I’m using XP Pro, I have read the articles that where posted and followed the steps described, just as it claimed! it did copy all the dll’s.
I have done this whole thing twice now with no luck, maybe it is time to take a different rout, and try this again some other time with some other program.
Anyway thanks for the help. It is appreciated no matter what!!
