Crystal reports 9 Viewer In my VB6 form

Hey Everyone,

I have a CR 9 viewer in my VB form. Works great on my computer because i Have CR9 developer installed and have all the drivers.

However, when I make my app a exe, and run that on a persons computer that does not have Crystal installed, they cant run the report. I tried coping the DLLs to there system32 folder, but no luck. How can i get these DLLS installed correctly?

You can't just copy a program from one computer to another. You have to formally install it.

To do that, you need to make and installation and setup package, and then ship the resulting Setup.Exe to whoever needs to use the program.

They, in turn, will run your Setup.Exe which will install your program.

You need to package the Crystal dependancy files (dlls and ocx) for the code you have written. You dont distribute everything as it would be over 20Mbs.

I think CR 9 uses the Merger Modules so you only need to package that.
