How to make exe of crystal report

[polestar95]

Hi dear friends!

i am developing a project which use access2000 data base and crystal report as a reporting tool - actually my users cannot install crystal report as clients- kindly tell me how can i make an exe file & installer from VB that automatically install all the necessary CR files on the terminals ?

You could create a VB executable that will copy these files from their current location, a distribution cd e.t.c., to c:\windows\system32 or wherever you want them to.

The most vital are :

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.5\crystalreportviewers10\ActiveXControls\crviewer.dll
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.5\bin\craxddrt.dll

Their could be others depending on the functionality of Crystal Reports you`re using.
