from google search: vb.net crystal report installer http://www.vbcity.com/forums/faq.asp?fid=54&cat=Crystal Reports The Solution: Some basic info first; I was using VB.Net (Visual Studio.net 2003) in a Windows Form. The version of Crystal Reports used was that which came bundled with Visual Studio (this appears to be 9.1.5000.0 according to the reference within VB Studio). The reports used are embedded within the project. Here’s what I did. Apologies in advance if much of this is common knowledge –but it’s usually the simplest point that if overlooked causes the whole thing to go pear shaped and fail to work. Producing the Deployment Project: Open Solution Explorer, right click on the “Solution Name” at the top and Add a New Project. On the window that appears, move to Setup and Deployment Projects. Click on Setup Project (not the wizard), put a name for your deployment project (make a note of the location where the folder that the deployment project will be created in) and then click OK. A File System dialog will appear – solution explorer should be displayed on the left of screen. Within solution explorer – right click over your deployment project and select Add – Project Output. Another window will appear – select Primary Output (make sure configuration is showing Active) and click OK. This will result in the detected dependencies being updated & a primary output icon appearing in the deployment project. Right click on the deployment project name again and Add – Merge Modules. Add the following modules. Crystal_Database_Access2003.msm Crystal_Database_Access2003_enu.msm Crystal_Managed2003.msm Crystal_regwiz2003.msm VC_User_CRT71_RTL_X86_---.msm VC_User_STL71_RTL_X86_---.msm These were the appropriate modules for my application given that I am using VS 2003. You can check your specific needs by going to this site click here And finding the environment appropriate to you i.e. VB.net 2003, Full versions of Crystal Reports etc… Right click on Crystal_regwiz2003.msm and go to its properties. Enlarge the MergeModuleProperties tree and enter the product licence key. This can be found by opening the Help menu on Visual Studio and then opening About Microsoft Development Environment. You will see the 19 character licence code for Crystal Reports in the Installed Products List. Go onto Build – Configuration Manager . Check that the Project & Deployment Project which appear are set to “Release” and the Build check box for each is checked. Build the Project. If all is well the build

To deploy your application, you need to create a setup project and add the necessary merge modules to your application before you build your solution. Open your Windows application. In the Solution Explorer, right-click your Windows application solution, point to Add then click New Project. In the Add New Project dialog box, select Setup and Deployment Projects in the Project Types pane and select Setup Project in the Templates pane. Click OK. In the Solution Explorer, right-click the Setup Project, point to Add then click Project Output. In the Add Project Output Group, select Primary output and click OK. Any dependencies, such as the Managed.msm, are added automatically. In the Solution Explorer, right-click the Setup Project, point to Add then click Merge Module. In the Add Modules dialog box, select the following merge modules to add to your Setup project and click Open: Database_Access.msm Database_Access_enu.msm regwiz.msm For a description of these merge modules see Crystal Reports Merge Modules (ms-help://MS.VSCC/MS.MSDNQTR.2003JAN.1033/crystlmn/html/crconcrystalreportsmergemodules.htm). Note If you deploy a Windows application that uses an ADO .NET dataset, you also need to include the VC_CRT and VC_STL merge modules. In the Solution Explorer, right-click the regwiz.msm file and choose Properties. In the Properties window, expand MergeModuleProperties and enter a valid license key in the License Key properties box. Note Providing the license key is a mandatory step whenever you deploy a Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET application. A license key will be given to you once you have registered Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET. You can find the license key in the About dialog box. From the Help menu, choose About Microsoft Development Environment. The keycode is listed in the Installed Products field. From the Build menu, choose Build Solution to build your application.
