VS2005 Crystal Reports Deployment Problem

I've just developed an Windows application that uses Crystal Reports
(v10 ? - the version that ships with VS2005).

Whilst the application works fine - reports can be viewed on the
development machine, when I create a setup project (which includes the
Crystal reports merge module), and deploy this setup file to another
machine (a fresh install of WinXP Pro with SP2), the reporting section
does not work...

How do I get the report viewer to work correctly on another machine?
The error I'm getting is:

************** Exception Text **************
System.Exceptio n: Load report failed. --->
System.Runtime. InteropServices .COMException (0x80004005): The system

Problem solved.

Installed the CRRedist2005_x8 6.msi file on the non-development PC -
located in

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\SDK\v2.0\Boot Strapper\Packag es\CrystalRepor ts
everything works as it should.

Hi,

Thanks for the link, it helped me

Additionally you can download the MSM (merge file) from CR from
http://support.businessobjects.com/c...es_mlb_x86.zip
and just add it as you did before in 2003

I was intending to use an XCOPY install for a VS2005 C# WinForms app but when I copied the files and ran the app on a clean machine it failed when it needed Crystal Reports. Can you not use XCOPY deployment if you have Crystal Reports dependencies? Is there an available Crystal redistribution package I can run before doing my XCOPY deployment? TIA

I have a vs2005Win application which prints a Crystal Reports report just fine from both of my development machines. When I deploy the application it chokes loading and I get a vague message that I may have a license file problem. Obviously a deployment issue. What files need to be included in a vs2005Win deployment to allow Crystal Reports to work OK?

On reflection, you could possibly make the app a self extracting zip file which extracts the EXE and a settings file and then starts the app, then when you app closes, it can repack the settings file and itself into the exe. You would probably want a tool for this bit which could be in the zip too. So the app isnt single exe when running but when not running, it is. Just an idea for you to think about. Another option would possibly be to...
