Difficult Question: .DLL and .OCX files needed to actually run the exe of the app

[SmagO]

Hi
I have finished coding a system that uses a Microsoft Tab control and crystal reports.
A while someone told me that I need these files for crystal reports to work on a computer that doesnt have crystal reports installed.

Control

Crystl32.ocx
tabctl32.ocx - for the ms Tab

Crystal Reports Runtime Files
Crpaig32.dll
Crpe32.dll
Crxlat32.dll

P2sodbc.dll

Crystal Reports Export Format Files
U2ddisk.dll
U2dmapi.dll
U2fcr.dll
U2fdif.dll
U2fhtml.dll
U2fodbc.dll
U2frec.dll
U2frtf.dll
U2fsepv.dll
U2ftext.dll
U2fwks.dll
U2fwordw.dll
U2fxls.dll

Now the only file I dont have on my computer is CRPAIG32.dll. could some one possible email it to me : [email protected]

Also what I would like to know is where must I then store these files.
I stored the ones for the export in c:\windows\crystal. All the other file I have stored in c:\windows\system.
should they maybe go to c:\windows\systems32?

This includes tabctr32.ocx which is the control for my ms Tab.
My problem is that after doing that, when the tab form is opened the copmuter says that the control is not installed correctly. Does this work just taking the controls and drivers from my computer to another? What is the best way to go about ensuring that the tab control will work. The funny thing is that it does work when I run the app from VB itself - i.e. not from the exe.

Thanks in advance.
This is really critical to me since I have to demonstrate my system on Wednesday. Any attempts at an answer will be greatly appreciated.

You should put all of them in the c:\windows\system folder. Also, right now I'm searching my hard drive for that file, if I find it, You'll get an email in about 7-10 minutes

Thanks alot Dimava

Do you know of any reason why when I put the tab control in the windows\system directory it didnt work? Should it be alright to just take the control from my computer to someone elses. BTW the other persons computer did not have Vb installed at all.
Thanks again

Just a little question...

Why don't you build up a SETUP kit for your APP using VB SETUP WIZARD. That's what I always do for deployment or DEMO to clients. It takes care of every DLL, ocx and other files your programm needs ( even cristal reports files ). Is there a good reason not using it ?

well vince
if u consider that i (embarrasingly) didnt know about the setup wizard, then ...yes there was a reason for not using it. thanks, now I know
