Vb 6.0 Setup and Crystal Report 8

[vdillum]

Hi friends,
I have developed an application in visual basic 6 and MySQL 2000 as database... and seagate crystal report 8.5 as reports. I created a set up for it using Set Up Factory 7.0 as an installer but when I install the setup on some other computers which do not have Crystal Report Installed on them, then the reports do not display. I have used SYSTEM DSN To Connect to Reports when i was Creating the report. My set up include the following files to be copied in the client computer. The destination folder is also mentioned:

1.Crystl32.OCX : C:\WINDOWS\system32
2.MSCOMCT2.OCX :C:\WINDOWS\system32
3.MSCOMCTL.OCX :C:\WINDOWS\system32
4.All the files of the "CRYSTAL" folder copied to C:\WINDOWS\CRYSTAL

I have refer the Help files which is in C:\Program Files\Seagate Software\Crystal Reports\Developer Files\Help\Runtime.hlp to see which are the files needed at runtime also but could not find any more other the ones specified above.

Please help....

Thx

and use p and d wizard for making set up....

also include the code in ur programmme that make run time dsn....

we can make the setup using setup factory...
but need some dll

ok

1.Crystl32.OCX : C:\WINDOWS\system32
2.MSCOMCT2.OCX :C:\WINDOWS\system32
3.MSCOMCTL.OCX :C:\WINDOWS\system32

Hello shakti5385,

Thx for the reply. Well do u mean in order for the client computer to display the reports, I have to include code in my VB programmme that make run time dsn?
Also u mention to include dll for crystal report in the set up. Can u please specify which dll I need to include in the client computer??

Do I need the three files below in the clien PC order to display the reports or I need additional files?
1.Crystl32.OCX : C:\WINDOWS\system32
2.MSCOMCT2.OCX :C:\WINDOWS\system32
3.MSCOMCTL.OCX :C:\WINDOWS\system32

Basically I just need the client PC to display the reports without requiring to install crystal reports in the client PC.

Sorry I am a beginner in this...

Thx

add p2sodbc.dll in ur set up file at setup factory...
no need to install now cry report

We are finding that the reports are now working thru the compiled exe. However, any reports which contain graphs outputs do not display - is there some other control file used to display the graphs?

Hello,

I want to export my report to PDF format. Can anyone tell me please which run time files are required in order to be able to export a report into PDF format. I checked the runtime help file and found that the two below files are required:
atl.dll, crxf_pdf.dll
But still I cant export the reports.
Is there any other files to be included in my set up project??
Plz help...

[randem]

Yes, there are.

BTW: you should not use DSN's in your project if you want to deploy it easily.

hi to all...
can anyone here help me regarding my crystal report 7 and 10. i use crystl32.ocx on crystal report 7 and it works fine but when i used crystl32.ocx on crystal report 10 it doenst work i even try to registered it but same, it doesnt work. i searched on the internet regarding my problem and found a forum sites someone saying there that crystal report 10 doesnt support crystl32.ocx it only support craxdrt is this true?

thanks....

[randem]

Where are you getting the information for what you actually need in your app? Where did you get the ocx if it did not come with CR 10. You can only use what came with CR 10 if that is what you are using.

[nathan_j]

hi Sir randem
i used the ocx in crstal report 7 . now i understand .
but in crystal report 10 i did not find crystl32.ocx wher can i find it? , what i used is the craxdrt and it works fine.

thanks a lot

[randem]

That is what you use. If CR 10 doesn't come with it you can't use it. How are you finding what dependencies you are using for your app?

[nathan_j]

hi sir

im using vb 6 and my backend is sql

thanks a lot for your time

[randem]

Yes, I know that. That wasn't the question. How did you find what to include in your app. You are using an Installer Package correct. If not you need to.

[nathan_j]

yes sir, thanks a lot for your time

[randem]

You still did not answer any questions...

[nathan_j]

sir i am new to crystal report. my first report design i used CR 7
through crystal report control i just wondering if crystal report control can be used to CR 10. in CR 10 i used the crystal report viewer ive learned it through internet tutorials and forums..

thanks a lot for your time

[randem]

If you are new... It would be VERY helpful if you answered the questions asked so that someone could help you...

The crystl32.ocx stopped shipping after CR8.5 It is not avaiable in CR 9,10 or 11. You need to preview the report in a different method. If you just want to print you need to reference the Crystal Reports Engine DLL's for the app.
