Setup Project don't share Crystal Reports msm files [modified]

[tronix01]

Hello I have programmed a win-form project in c# with included crystal reports in vs 2003 (crystal report version 9 / bundle). After that i created a setup project to share my programm. vs 2003 found automatically all dependencies: - crystal_database_access2003.msm - crsytal_managed2003.msm and it works great. Now i want transfer that stuff to .net 2.0 + vs 2005 and want to create a setup project in vs 2005 with the same functionality. if i start now to define the primary output in vs 2005 it doesn't show the dependencies like in vs 2003. it also runs but only on stations where vs 2005 installed. its seems that's not enough to install .net 2.0 ?! If i try to run the program on a station without vs.net 2005. only .net 2.0 installed. the following error-msg appears: "The file or assembly CrystalDecision.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=10.2.3600.0, Culture = neutral, PublicKeyToken= 692fbea5521e1304 or a dependencies could not be found. The System could file not found." Its seems to be a problem with the different Crystal Reports Version. How could this be able to solve ? Thanks a lot ! lutz -- modified at 8:44 Thursday 15th March, 2007

Hi, don't know why he doesn't find those merge modules automatically anymore but you could add them manually. They should be placed under "Program Files\Shared Files\Merge Modules". Robert

thanks a lot for you answer. now i found the solution. thats was quit easy :) if you want to change from VS2003 to VS2005, you will use different CrystalReport-Versions (9 and 10+). so you need only to add the mergemodules of 2005, not of 2003. thats all http://support.businessobjects.com/downloads/merge_modules.asp#07[^]
