Package and Deployment Wizard

[alan2624]

When attempting to package the application I get the following Error:

Unexpected error number 80010108 has occurred: Automation error.
The object involved has disconnected from its clients.

The application runs fine with the dll for the classes.

I am also using Crystal Reports for reporting and I am running on Windows 2000 if that is any help.

Does anyone what causes this or how to fix it ??

Thanks

Alan

The PDW does not (at least in my case) grab all the dll's required to install an app that uses CReports; you have to attach them manually. It could be that you are missing some of the dependant files.

I seem to recall having like problems when deploying an app using the PDW. In the end I switched to the MS Visual Installer (part of Visual Interdev). This creates an MSI installer, but it also does a better job of grabbing dependant files and assigning them to your installation package. All of my problems (I think I got the same error as you) related to missing dependancies, files used by Crystal.

If you're having trouble getting certain Crystal dll's (like the CRAXDRT.dll) to register, check out the Crystal Reports General Discussion group on this site. There's a great deal of info related to the files necessary when deploying an app that uses CR.

Hope this helps. If it does turn out to be the necessary CR dependancies and you're not able to track down the info I mentioned above, respond here. I could probably dig it up if I had to.

Sorry, looks like they changed the name of the CR group to Crystal Reports 4-Other topics.
