Deploying an ASP.NET application with Crystal Reports 1

[Juice05]

I have created an ASP.NET application that uses cystal reports for reporting purposes. I have created a form that gives the user the ability to choose a report, report format(xls,pdf,doc), etc.

The report runs fine on my development machine, which is always the case, but errors out when I deploy it on the live web server. I am getting the error "COM object with CLSID {D97C7D7D-FF5B-4802-BE3F-D8748E986F7B} is either not valid or not registered." which leads me to believe that I am missing some sort of dll.

Could someone please point me in the right direction on this? If you think this post belongs in the crystal forums please let me know.

My question with that is, do I have to create a setup project to use the merge modules?

Yes, you have to create a setup project...

OK, I have created the setup and ran the setup on the server. I am now getting a "Load report failed" error. The reports are on the server and proper access has been giving to the directory in which they reside. Plus the export directory for the creation of xls, pdf and doc has proper permissions.

I am stumped.

My fault...the directory that the reports reside in was incorrect. That document did the trick. Thanks bro bro
