Hey all
The other thread was marked as resolved so I assumed that it would be passed by. Please accept my apologies for opening another thread on its behalf. I am still having the error come up even though all my dependencies are now included. It is quite a roadblock and I am totally lost as to why this is still happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Original Post
You must remove those other CR files from your deployment for one...
Ok let me try that part again
Ok, i removed all other CR files but still get same error
Ok so I remove EVERY CR .dll except for the crviewer.dll, correct? I also have craxdrt.dll that is being used in the application. So when I look at the dependencies, crviewer leads to craxdrt.dll which leads to all the other .dlls that were to be removed. This is where I am confused. I dont know which ones are definately needed or if any are.
No, crviewer.dll is a CR file so it has to be removed also...???
If you don't know what should be removed... that is why that link was so important. It would remove everything you don't need...
Ok, thanks...I am just a bit confused(obviously). Will keep at it. ANd thanks so much for the help both on the forums and the program.
That may not solve all the issues but you have to take it one step at a time...
But running the other program will help show you what you need to include and what you don't.
BTW: You don't need any of the CR dll's That is what the msi installation is for. It will install all the CR dll's that you need (and some you don't).
First of all, I feel like an idiot....I was thinking the msi was just an addon for the script program. I didnt even realize to include that with the installations. But unfortunately with that added to the installation and the CR links taken out of the script, I am still receiving that error. Also, after the installation, I get a pop up box: Incorrect command line parameters. And within that box some copyright info but seems to install ok. Any idea what the incorrect command line thing is??
I have no idea of what your script does or what else it contains or how it operates... So to answer that question would a total guess.

Where are you installing this to? What OS? Does your target machine have the MDAC installed for you are not deploying one...
; Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.8 Library - (msado15.dll)
Need MDAC 2.8. Is it already installed. You should deploy it anyway for safety.
BTW: You don't have any CR references in this exe. How could it be using CR???
Also are you using CR X?
The CR references didnt show in the section but it did put the files in the list to be copied which i removed before compiling. Im using the Virtual PC and it is going onto XP Pro. This is just a simple form to call a CR so there is no need for MDAC, why it shows in the references i dont know. The real program I cant test because I cant VPN into the client but these are the same errors.
Yes, CR X.
You can't remove the references to CR....The app won't work no matter what you do!!!
Look in your references you will see that a MDAC reference is selected...
Yes MDAC was in the apps references and just removed them. The CR references are there and I just verified that but not showing in the list when i run **********
Are the CR references checked?
Yes. Both references are checked being the crviewer.dll, and the craxdrt.dll
Then they should show up in the run... Did you get any errors from the run? Check the error log.
11/16/2007 11:21:20 PM - Path/File access error - C:\Program Files\Test CR Install\Manifest\
Is all that shows up in the error log
And the run log?
I did have both the crviewer.dll and crviewer.oca checked and once the crviewer.dll reference was removed(crviewer.oca could not be removed because components were in use), the run showed the crviewer.dll as a reference but still no craxdrt.dll
Why did you remove the references???? You were only supposed to remove them from the script.
You have to re-register them...
i just removed the reference to try pinpointing why it would not call the references in the run. there are two references for the crviewer, one that has the component to put on the form and the crviewer.dll. with the .oca still referenced, it still is calling for the crviewer.dll in the runs.
post the vbp file...
Ok, let me try a couple of things within the project itself and i will get back to you.
Ok, I have assumed the whole time that CR not being loaded on the target machine was acceptable for this application to work. Is this an incorrect assumption? If so, then that is my problem and explains the error, though it doesnt explain why both references are not not being recognized in the ********** run.
Here is the .vbp
Code:Type=Exe

Also, when I do put the crviewer.dll and craxdrt.dll into the unsafe list, then they show in the references of the ********** run.
One issue i was having was in the script:
[Run]
Filename: msiexec.exe; Parameters: "/package {tmp}\CRX_RDC_Redistribution.msi /passive"; WorkingDir: {tmp};
I needed to remove the "", a big oversight.
After removal of "", it ran its install and proceeded with the CR module. Unfortunately, I am still receiving the same error.
Should the crviewer.dll be in the system32 folder or does that matter? I noticed on my machine that it was located there and not in the \common files folder where all the other .dll's are being placed.
If you are deploying the msi file you don't need the crviewer.dll file or any othr CR dll/ocx's.
Zip an post your test project.
I have no idea of what you did but this is what I get and the CR references are there:

And this is what I get when I add those CR files to the Unsafe file list (which they will permanently be added). The references are in both runs...

this is just a blank app to pop up the CR..nothing really fancy about it. It's just to try to understand how to get CR to install correctly. I apologize for the ignorance but I usually dont mess too much with creating installs and such.
When I place both the crviewer.dll and the craxdrt.dll on the unsafe list, that is when it shows them in the references on the runs. When they are not on the unsafe list, it only shows the crviewer.dll on the runs.Quote:

I am sure it is something I am doing wrong. But the steps as I am aware are.
1. Build ********** script with all CR files removed.
2. Add the .msi to the installation.
3. Install app with the .msi addon.
4. Run
I just dont know what else to try.
Ok, researching the files and such, I find that the crviewer.dll that is attached initially to the project references in VB is 8.5....Though we are using the CR10 .dll in the setup, does that make a difference? Apparently the .oca is calling for the 8.5 .dll inside the programming as I do not seem to have a crviewer.dll referenced that is of 10.0.
Yes, that was the problem....I needed a copy of the version of the crviewer that was present in my system32 folder which was 8.5!
Yes, that was the problem....I needed a copy of the version of the crviewer that was present in my system32 folder which was 8.5! randem thank you oh so very, VERY much for the help. It is so much appreciated!
Great, Yes using the wrong versions of files will cause problems...
