[RESOLVED] crviewer problems

[tibor]

Hey all

I have an issue with the CR references in my application. I am trying to just run a small app that calls the CR viewer and display a report. Of course, on my machine since I have all the correct .dll and such do to having CRX on my machine, it is no problem. But on a clean testing environment i am getting the crviewer.dll not correctly registered error. Now initially this was thought to be a deployment issue but I am afraid I may not have the correct references in place. With the viewer I am using the CR viewer control with is the .oca(which i assume comes with the crviewer.dll). Also I am using the CR ActiveX Designer Run Time Library 10.0 as CRX is the version I have on hand.

My question is this: Is there another reference that is needed in order for this to actually work on a non CR loaded machine? I do assume that this is possible to do on a machine not running Crystal. If this is not true, how would I go about setting the application up to pull the CR info from the server that the program is hitting anyway so the viewer will work as intended.

Thanks

You need to deploy the Merge Modules too. This will give the cr viewer and reports functionality and viewability.

I dont have CR 10 but it was a new way to do it starting with 10.

No offense, but this was meant more of a VB question rather than a deployment of CR. And I have used the Merge Modules to no avail so thats why I ask in VB, to make sure I am not missing any references that the application needed.

What part deals with vb though? Wasnt your question to figure out how to get it to work on a non-cr machine? That actually should be a deployment issue. So then where would you want the thread to be?

ps, no offense taken

I guess the question could be split between the 2 forums but I am looking more for an answer on if there is any missing references in VB I may have overlooked. Simply craxdrt.dll and crviewer.dll are the only references I need inside VB itself? If yes, then the rest is an issue of deployment as I have an open post there trying to figure out why the error is coming up.

I apologize, I have the same question about the virgin machine in the other post and it was redundant and i should have edited this one.

It only depends on what code your needing to write. If your app runs fine on your system then its fine and is a deployment issue. You can not simply include references to make it runable on other systems without deploying the dependant supporting files. A reference points to a dependant file

Ok, great!

Always, RobDog, thank you very much.

No prob.

You may want to check out any documents on deploying and using CR from their site. I have this doc for .net but may come in handy or direct you to something more relevant.
