distribute crystal report with .net application

[abhi81]

hello All,
i developed a windows application in vb.net 2003. i created crystal reports using crystal report 11 and am using crystalreportviewer component in .net to load the reports in to it at runtime.

I had done projects like this before but they were all within the local office so i just installed the crystal report on each system.

But this project needs to be distributed. If i add the crystal report viewer and other crystal dll's in the bin directory and distribute it ......it does not work on a computer that does not have crystal report 11 installed on it.

Can some one please tell me how can i distribute my application with crystal reports so that i can run my application on computer not having crystal reports installed?

Best suggestion I have is to go to the VB gurus.
Wish I could be more help.

You will probably need to install the CR Viewer separately, before you install your .NET 2003 application. Go here to download it...
