Crystal Report 10 and VS2005 Deployment Issues

Question

I've created a .NET application that displays an existing Crystal Report, which runs fine on my machine.  It runs perfectly when I deploy it to the default website in IIS on my development server. But when I deploy it to anywhere else, even into other virtual sites on the same server, it refuses to run. Can someone help, Its very urgent.

Answer 1

Hello,

Are you getting an error message? What do you mean by refuses to run?

What is the version of IIS and OS? How did you choose to deploy the application?

Hi Keith,
I am facing deployment issues with VS 2005 beta and Crystal Reports.
The verison of CR says 10.2.3600. So I added CR_10 mergemodules with my setup project. When I try to deploy this application to an client computer, I get an error message "Unable to find CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.dll". I put in the correct keycode too.
This is a VB.NEt application and we are using Windows XP.
Could you let me know what's worng
Thanks

Hello Rupa,

Please take a look at the welcome post:

Beta 2 uses the .msi file for installing, merge modules are used only for 64-bit deployment.

Also, the CR_10 merge modules are for use with the full version Crystal Reports 10 product only.
