Which dlls to deploy with VB app?

[Mr_Floyd1976]

I am using VB 6 and CR XI.

There was always an issues with ensure that you deploy the correct dll's when using the Package and Deployment wizard in VB.

Well the same problem has arisen again!!!!!

I was pretty certain that I included everything when deploying but when I try to open the reports from the application they fail.

The reports use parameters, which the users select the values for by using the Crystal parameter screen/form. The problem I have is that this form isn't displaying correctly.... and I am asked to debug each time I click on anything!!

Anyone have any ideas on which dlls need to be deployed?

Cheers

I think for XI you have Merge Modules now to deploy for supporting files of CR. Check out the CR site at businessobjects.com.

I have downloaded Merge Modules but don't know how to use it.

Can anyone help?

There should be a pdf document on that site for assisting on this issue. I only have CR8 so I'm not sure how they are used in VB6. Its different then how they are used in .NET.

Take a look at this link. They have documentation of how to use it too.

Your link is for .NET - he is using VB6

So it is. I should have read the top of the page. I got the link from Shuja's post. *SLAPS self*

Ok the documentation says that CR 11 does not come with Runtime.CHM File.

To use Merge Modules anyway the user will have to use Visual Studio Installer. And it is easy to add merge modules in MSI files. I think he should be able to do it even in VB 6.0.

The link that I and RD posted contains information about what to use.
