Unable to get installer types deployment error
-
I have created an Windows.NET app in C#. with crystal reports. These all run fine on my development computer. I modified my setup project to include all the merge modules that CR.NET needs, added the licence key info. and rebuilt the solution. still everything works fine when I run the installation. both on Development computer as well as on Client computer. later i added an installer class to add the Database path to a config file during installation I successfully installed the app. on my development computer. but when I try to run it on Client system, I receive the following error: Unable to get installer types in the \app.exe assembly --> one or more of the types in the assembly unable to load. it seems to be something related to crystal reports. I am using .NET Studio 2005 and app is on c# with few crystal Reports. Now if i copy and paste the bin/debug directory from the development system to my client system, it gives the following error when trying to run crystal report module: File or assembly name CrystalDecision.Windows.Forms, or one of its dependencies, was not found help appreciated. thanks in advance.

(I know you said that you have all the merge modules so just make believe I'm the person looking over your shoulder with coffee breath offering useless advice...) Under Detected Dependencies is CrystalReportsRedist2005_x86.msn listed? What I would do just for testing is to see if you can build an installer just for the Crystal Reports Redistributable and another for your main app (without the Crystal Reports). If that works then something went goofy in your original installer project (I have to make new ones all the time. For some reason mine get corrupted when I have a new version of the main exe). Good Luck!
