I like to know wat important files (eg dll,ocx) for crystal report is need to include in a setup program without individually installing crystal report program.

Hi,
Check out the Crystal Reports Help Topics in your machine. I remember seeing a Runtime Requirements topic in those files.

Hope it helps. Let me know what happens.

The P&D wizard will include all required files for you.

For Crystal reports it will also include files that you may not need. Such as the dll that saves the crystal report as an excel file. You can always remove these unwanted files. Just make sure that you really don't need them first. I leave them as part of the package. Thanks and Good Luck!

however, when i try to run d new program to view crystal report, i will run into this error: run-time error '20532' cannot find database dll

Yes, with newer versions of crystal the PDW does not include all of the dependencies you will have to look at the crystal documentation to find the other 11 (I believe) files.

Good Luck

Hi,
This is what I found in my documentation for ver 7:

CRPE32.DLL \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (NT only) Interface to the Crystal Report Engine
MSVCRT20.DLL \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (NT only) Microsoft Foundation Class Runtime Library
CRPAIG32.DLL \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (NT only) Crystal Reports text object support
CTL3D32.DLL \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (NT only) Version 2 of the 3 D control implementation
IMPLODE.DLL \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (NT only) Compression Library

Better still would be for you to check out the Runtime File Requirements documentation that comes with CR. Hope it helps. Let me know what happens.
