CR11 and VB 6.0

Hey I got an app that a previous developer wrote and I am trying to package it for distrobution. The app runs fine on my machine which ofcourse it was developed on and has CR 11 installed.

The problem is when I am going through the steps of the Package and Deployment wizard it says that I need 3 .dll's and can not locate them. I have searched my PC and the CR installation disks for them and only found one of them.

The files are:

2ddpost.dll - found this one in the 1.0/bin folder
u2fsepv.dll - found a file named the same with .4324214bunch of numbers after the .dll
u2fxml.dll - found a file named the same with .4324214bunch of numbers after the .dll

I have pretty much searched the whole web lookin for an answer and can't come up with one... anyone ever run across this or have any ideas on what I can do?

Re: CR11 and VB 6.0

Have you checked out businessobjects.com for any info on this? There used to be a help file that described all the dependancy files needed back before version 9. It was called Runtime.hlp. Do you have it with CR11?

I honestly have no clue... I never really used CR before and wasn't planning on it until my boss wanted this other guys' app deployable.

Re: CR11 and VB 6.0

Yes, I believe that the Runtime.hlp file is for versions before 9 and 9 and after use the Merge Modules. They are for deploying the dependancy files for CR.

I think you may need to use this file.

Re: CR11 and VB 6.0

I downloaded this zip file... tho inside there are no instructions as to what to do with it. Is there somewhere specific that I should be extracting it to? Sorry if I am being a pain in the a$$ but Business Objects support is really lame....
