Crystal Decisions problem

Hi,

I've created an application in VS 2002 using vb.net. My application contain
a Crystal Decisions report and when I run it on my development PC with VS
installed it works fine. However, when I install it on the users PC I get
this error :

System.IO.FileN otFoundExceptio n: File or assembly name
CrystalDecision s.Windows.Forms was not found.

I thought that you could redistribute apps with Crystal Reports in them and
they would work without the user have to have a copy of Crystal Reports
installed? Can anyone tell me if this is correct, and if it is what I need
to do to get it to work - is there an update or patch to install?

Many Thanks
Richard

Hi Rich,

Yes, you can redistribute any CR report, and you don't have to install a
version of CR on each pc. However, you have to install the various merge
modules that CR makes freely available so that the reports can run properly
on each target machine.

Go to businessobjects .com and look up 'merge module' or '.net install' to
get the instructions necessary - it's not too difficult.

HTH,

Bernie Yaeger

Hi,

Yes you can redistrubute apps with Crystal reports and the end user does not
need Crystal Installed. I personally use Merge Modules from the Crysal
site - check out the link below which takes you to the support pages, from
here you should be able to search for the merge modules - it's then a simple
case of adding them to your installation project.

The files I always include with my projects are:-
crnetruntime.ms m
mapping.msm
reportengine.ms m

There's a Crystal Reports hot fix for a particular but that I am experiencing in .NET -- DIV's get screwed up when you embed a Crystal Report in a web page. The bug is ADAPT00170558, the patch is 35395142. There's absolutely no documentation on a work-around, and the patch from CR is for version 9 only, not for .NET. Anyone know how to fix this aweful problem? Phil

Hello all, I have created an ASP.NET website that uses Crystal Reports that works on the localhost (my PC), but when I copy it to the server it does not. The problem is ExcelUseConstantColumnWidth = False. On my PC when exporting a report, it works - columns are varible width to fit the field, from the server it does not - I get constant width columns. I suspect it is a DLL issue, but so far all my comparisons are coming out the same.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
