New to VS .Net - Application deployment missing keycodeV2.dll

[Luther1978]

I'm looking to use VS.Net to view Crystal Reports(Ver 9). On my first play with .NET I was happy to see how easy it was to create a form that viewed a crystal report on my computer. All went like a dream until I packaged it up to install on another computer.

After packaging up, installing the .NET framework on another PC, and then installing the application I found all would run ok, apart from the Crystal Report, which moaned that "Cannot fine KeyCodeV2.dll, or invalid keycode". I found that I can add the relevant dll to the package but when it installs it simply adds the dll to the application directory, which doesn't work either. I guess it needs to be registered.

I installed and ran the app on another PC that has Cyrstal Reports 9 on installed on it, to find that this also couldn't find "KeyCodeV2.dll".

How do I Go about registering this .dll in the automated install on an end client?

Are there any copyright implications when installing this .dll, i.e. does this dll belong to Crystal Reports 9, and therefore only legally be installed on machines with a Crystal 9 license?

Many Thanks

Martin

Hi

I had this problem before and I think I solved it by adding the crystal licence key value to the RegWiz.msm in its properties.

I had the same problem - I did the same thing as gazza and it worked.

All solved cheers. RegWiz.msm was part of the problem. It also seemed that including all the crystal relevant modules was required. I'll have to have a play and see if I can exclude any of them.

Thanks for the responses.
