VB Crystal Report >> Crystal Report xi: how to install runtime

by Adriano » Sat, 16 Apr 2005 16:47:09 GMT

I've a vb application that use crystal report xi

I'd like to create a package of my program and crystal report runtime

I've download the msm from crystal report web site at:
http://support.businessobjects.com/fix/merge_modules.asp?ref=devzone_netzone_downloads

I've found 4 msm inside:
designer
licence
report
runtime

Which i have to install only for viewng a preview of the report and for
print it ?

How to install that MSM files ???


I've read that:
These merge modules may be incorporated into MSI-based setup packages
to include the appropriate runtime files.

But frankly i've no idea on how to do that.

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Adriano

You need to use some tool to build a distribution package for your
application. If you use something like InstallShield or Wise, use the msm
files to tell the package what needs to be included. Depending on just what
your program does, you probably need the license and the runtime.

What are you using to build your program? Many of those tools have a built
in scan process to detect what you will need.

Cyberinstaller http://www.silvercybertech.com/

There's some other packaging tool (not too expensive and preferably free)
that you can suggest ?

thanks

Hello,
I'm trying to move a aspx web app to a 2000 server. I copied the asmx and 
all files except for the source files. When I try and open the main page, I 
get this error...
"The following information can be helpful to determine why the assembly 
'CrystalDecisions.ReportSource' could not be loaded"
From what I've found, the problem is that I need to install the Crystal 
Reports 9 runtime files on the server. Here's my problem...
In crnet_deployment.pdf (I'm using Visual Studio 2003) it states that I 
should use the merge modules (msm files) and deploy them in my app. Does 
anyone have examples of how to do this...I'm lost with this.
Thanks for any help...
