Packaging an application with Crystal Reports

[herci]

Hi everybody...

I have developed an application using VB 60 and SQL Server 6.5, and all my reports have been done using Crystal reports in Visual Basic 6.0 using the Crystal Report designer which is in VB..

The problem is that when we packaged the app with the Package and Deployment Wizard, and we installed it in another PC, all the VB screens run well, but when we tried to run the reports, it causes an error 'Physical Database
not found',that comes from the Crystal Reports Viewer, but the report is connected to the database because we can see all the DB tables.. and it requesting for an pdssql.dll that I can not find even in the PC in where are the codes source and in which we packaged the app.. (the app and the reports run well there)

We tested installing the Crystal report software in the destination pc, and then the reports run well, but I don´t want to install the CR software in every PC where I install my app.

The questions are:

1. What can do to solve this problem?
2. Do I have to get another software to package my app?
if so, do anybody knows about another packaging software?
3. Where is this pdssql.dll?

any kind of information will be appreciated
Thanks..

Sounds to me like you need to include some more Crystal files (maybe because of sql 6.5) check the crystal site. Install Shield is a good installer package, DL the trial and see if it helps
