VB6,SQlserver and CR9

[engnouna]

Hi
I have a VB6 project that interacts with SQl server 2000 and crystal report9.I want to install my project into PCs that doesn't contain CR9.I did the package and deployment process and set up the project into each PC.Is it necessary to install CR9 into each PC in order to view the report?
thanks

You only need to install the runtime files on the user pc.

In version 8.5, there was a file called Runtime.hlp which indicated the files you needed to install along with your application. Not sure if version 9 has this file.

Brucevde,could you be more specific,suppose that Runtime.hlp exists in CR9,how can I install it into my application?
thanks in advance

You don't install Runtime.hlp, you read it. It tells you which files should be included in your applications setup package.

If you are using Visual Studio Installer to create the installation package (MSI files), CR9 comes with a Merge Module (MSM file) that contains everything you need.
