Crystal Reports & VS.Net: Getting Started

[tasmisr]

On My machine, I've installed .Net framework and VS.Net.
and I'm going to create some crystal reports along with web forms(aspx pages).
What do I need to deploy crystal reports to a production environment?
Is just having the .Net framework(without VS.Net) on the production machine enough? or should I install additional components?


thanks.

you need to have the crystal reports server as well I reommend loading a copy of vs.net on your web server

According to Crystal you should be able to Create a Deployment Package within VS.Net and include the Appropriate Merge Modules into the package. One of the Merge Mods, I think named Keycode.msm has a property called License Key where you enter your product key code. You need to do this in order to get it to work on the server machine. Once the package is created you just install it onto your Server and all needed files should be there.

With all this said, I couldn't get it to work and had to install VS.Net onto the server as robdotnet00 suggested.
