Deploying Crystal XI Release 2

Hey there,

When deploying Crystal XI Release 2 with a vb.net windows application, the prerequisites for crystal is around 83mb, not only that the framework 2.0 is around also 27mb. The setup project ends up being very large considering these two redistribution packages.

Now for the question, is there a way to shrink this and still have the setup project install them without downloading from the internet onsite.


Thanks in advance.

Looks like it's unavoidable.

I don't see a way around it.

I saw your thread yesterday and popped in from time to time to see if anyone had any suggestions.

I just did a small app for the dance studio that my daughter goes to. The app is only 300K. Installer (Including Framework, Crystall and SQL Express) comes to 360 Meg.

wow 300mb, it's a pain when you want to ever email something.
