Ok I know how to use the setup and deployment package to include the merge modules for crystal reports and use that to install. But what i need to know is exactly where and what happens to those files from the merge modules. Where i'm at they use there own install app that was created in house. I need to use that since the my part is just apart of the whole package. I need to know how to get these crystal reports files on the target machine. I need to know where exactly they go. And if anything special needs to be done like being register and such. If anybody can help explain this to me so I can try to recreate it that would be greatly appreciated.
 
I was able to figure this out and thought i would post my solution in case anybody else would have this question.
I downloaded the msi for crystal reports 10 the crystaldescions website.

Then i created a batch file that would install this silently

msiexec /i \location\CrystalReports10_Net_EmbeddedInstall.msi /qn /norestart pidkey=00000-0000000-0000000

Hope this can anybody
