realizd ( and assuming ) it is not a localized error directly to vb.>
I have found this link on the website:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/busi...ects-downloads
..NET Utility CR 2008 Merge Modules for the .NET Framework ZIP 74.716 Windows
English 12.03.2008
and it states:
===
The Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime Merge Modules may be used to directly embed
the Crystal Reports runtime into your own setup, so it is delivered and
deployed to your users in the same setup package that installs your
application. Un like the Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime redistributable
package, which can be added to another setup in an indirect way (e.g. using
a custom action), the merge modules allow you to tightly embed the Crystal
Reports 2008 Runtime components into your setup. In addition, they are
broken into a core runtime, language packs and mapping support, so they
provide a little bit more flexibility than the standard redistributable
package.
===
I have added the merge modules to my install package.
Now installing the computer does install crystal reports and also creates a
sub folder in my main application called:
CrystalReportsV iewers12
BUT:
The same error occurs when running the Crystal Report Viewer from the app:
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

somehow the user needs to install this exe or some 'merge modules' as
googleing has lead me to.
I'm still searching, so if anyone knows where I can get the exact 'merge
modules' or how to properly create the install shield so it includes
everything required for the crystal report viewer... you would haev my
many thanks.
And back to googling ...
Funny how the msdn does not have any documentation on crystal reports

The exe has a button that populates a dataset and then shoots it to a
crystal report.
But...
Installing the setup.exe on my other pc, and running it I get an error.
The Dataset loads properly, but when the button is pushed to view the
report I get this error:

... and so on
The code I use to call my form that has the report on it is:
Private Sub Button3_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As

Dim frmViewRep As New ViewReport
frmViewRep.myF irstCrystalRepo rt1.SetDataSour ce(myTestDataDa taSource)
frmViewRep.Show Dialog()
End Sub
============ = what dependancy am i missing in the setup.exe and how do I
add it.
Thanks,
