    Hello guys , how are you? i hope everything's fine ;) I'm coding a small program and i don't want the final user to install anything on his computer -for database i'm using SQLite instead of SQL-Server -i won't deploy the project i'll only send the files in debug folder. the problem is with Crystal Report files , is there anyway to open them without downloading the full crystal report engine? like a 2mb software or a small tool.. i will appreciate your suggestions and answers , thank you.

      Not correct, you should deploy from the Release folder. If you do not install the crystal Reports libraries then how will you get the reports created?

          And what will happen if they do not? You should never create an application that assumes your users will have some software package installed.
