Distribute Crystal Report with .NET 2003

[bingxi]

Hi,

I built an application using VB.NET 2003 and Crystal Report for .NET 2003. The deployment method we want to use is to leave the exe and supporting report and Access database on the network drive and the user can run the exe from their desktop through a shortcut. My question is how can I created a Inno Setup installation that can push the needed files (merge modules and any dependencies for Crystal Report)?

I saw one of the post from "kleinma" who used Inno Setup to do this, could you help me?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Acturaly, I found this site and created InnoSetup that used the ".net for version 9". When I ran my application, it gave me "CrystalDecision.CrystalReports.Engine" or dependencies not found error. I looked at the msi file and noticed it loads version 9.2.xxxx on client machine. But the dll version I used was 9.1xxxx which I guess it's the bunddle version that come with .net 2003. Right?

Today I tried to regenerate the app with CR XI and create a InnoSetup using ".NET Release 2 for XI". It seems work.

Thanks!
