Crystal Xi Deployment

[munchen]

Does anyone know what dll’s and merge modules I need to include in windows installer to deploy Crystal XI on a user’s pc?

I have the full version of Crystal XI developer edition installed on my pc and I have a created a simple report that I want to run on another users pc in our building. What dll’s and merge modules do I have to install?

Here’s what I currently have in the msi file:

Atl.dll
Craxdrt.dll
Crqe.dll
Crviewer.dll
Msvcp60.dll
Msvcrt.dll
Riched20.dll
Ufmanager.dll
CrystalReports_RDC_DesignTime.msm
CrystalReports_RDC_License.msm
CrystalReports_RDC_Reportengine.msm
CrystalReports_RDC_Runtime.msm

Do I need to include the report and any exe files?

You need to install crystal reports on the machine in question. Starting with crystal 9, there is no way to "deploy" a crystal report (unless included as a part of a VB project) on another machine, like the compiled reports of past versions have had.

So you either need to deploy the entire VB project, or buy a crystal report viewer program.

Thanks for your reply.

It will eventually be as part of a VB project. Do you know if I am missing any dll's or merge modules?

Or once I have deployed the entire VB project will it all work as expected with the files I have included (see first post)?

You probably need to post this in Business Objects: Crystal Reports 3 Integrate forum.
