i am using these two references in my program:
Crystal Report Viewer Control 9
Crystal Reports 9 ActiveX Designer Run Time Library
it all works fine on my computer (i have crystal reports installed) but when i try to run my program and view a report on another computer it fails
am i missing a reference?
by creating the above references, does it install the dll's on the computer if it is missing them? or do i have to register the dll's myself?
Is crystal reports 9 installed on the other computer ?
Did you install your program there ? or you just copied the exe ?
I installed the program on the other machine.
Crystal Reports is not installed on that machine.
Hmm... I'm not sure about this one.
Theoretically this should work... I mean with other software installing your app is enough (The Package & Deployment Wizard should take care of the DLLs)
When I worked with CR before, I installed CR on both machines, then copied the exe. And that worked for me.
Did you get any errors / warnings when you made the setup package with PDW ?
i'm using vb.net 2008 express.
i get no errors when publishing.
the pdw is for vb6 right?
You did not say what VB version you are using, so I jumped to assumptions because that's what I'm more familiar with... :rolleyes:
Well, hopefully someone with more experience with CR and VB.NET can help you
Did you add the dependency for CR in the pre-reqs? Add the merge module for CR in the Setup and Delpoyment project?
where do i add the dependency in vb.net 2008 express?
I don't think you can... You can't create a setup program there only a click-once deployment. Check CR site for the MSIs reequired for .Net depoloyment and install them on the target machines. Or look into another deployment model (ie INNO Setup)
thanks. i'll check it out.
by the way i'm from Lyndeborough, NH and I work in Manchester.
i saw you were from NH.
Live in Dover work in Portsmouth
Curious if you ever resolved this problem?
i haven't had a chance to look into it that much.
i needed to get my application up and running, so i just installed crystal on the computers that were having problems.
