crystal report problem

[akki]

Hi All,

I am trying to host a site with an outside vendor which contains
crystal reports. I am copying all the files but when I run the crystal
reports i get the following error: "keycodeV2.dll missing or invalid"
There is no problem when i deploy the site to another machine because
at that time i include all the merge modules. But now, i am copying the
files to the vendor location...hence the problem.

Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?

Thanks,
Akshay

Hi,

while include the merge modules, you should fill the product key for the
Reg*.* some msi file i am not sure about that. you can find out very easily.

You can get the product key from the installed Visual Studio in your PC.

I am sure, you can solve this problem by doing this.

Hi,
I am not deploying the application.....merely coying it to a different
server. So i cannot include merge modules in my project. Deployment is
not an issue.I have managed to do that successfully in the past. But
now I am trying to copy the project....thats when the problem arises.
Hope you understood my problem...
Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks,
Akshay

Ok, you are using VS 2003 or VS 2005?

I hope we can not run the crystal reports without having the merge modules.
I understood that, you are coping the application, before that you need to
check Vendor's Machine is haing the Merge modules or not? If Vendor's machine
is having the .Framework 1.1, 1.1 will not install merge modules
automatically, i am not sure about 2.0, we need to check.

One more thing,

If you are using VS 2003,
by deplying asp.net application with merge modules crystal reports are
working fine. By coping the asp.net application you are not including the
merge modules, i hope, without having the merge modules, asp.net application
can not run the crystal reports.

If you are using VS 2005,
Coping means, Publish the ASP.Net application to Vendors machine in VS 2005.
actually, in this case i am not sure we need to publish the asp.net
application with merge modules or not.

In My Experience, when i was using the VS 2003, i deployed the asp.net
application with merge modules, i got the same error "keycodeV2.dll missing
or invalid". Once i specified the Product Key of crystal. Then its worked
fine.

Anyway please check and correct me if any thing wrong. I know that, This
problemis very dangoures. And also please let me know if you already solved
the problem.

Thank you.
