how do i deploy an application that uses crystal reports?
-
Hi, i've developed an application that makes use of crystal reports... when i test the ap on a machine that only has the .NET framework installed i get the following error "Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=10.2.3600.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependancies. The system cannot find the file specified.":confused: i guess this means that the referenced assemblies are not being included/generated/ copied to the output directory... in either case, how do i overcome this set back??:sigh: i always assumed that if i developed an app that used Crystal reports that when i deploy, the IDE (VS2005 in my case), would create the necessary assemblies... any jelp would be great,:) Thanks :) Afzal "AV-E" Hassen

Unsure about vs2005, but in vs2003, you need to include the assemblies in the setup/deployment package. When you do this, you have to enter the license key you got when you registered crystal reports. This get built into the package. When the package is installed on another pc, all the relevant files for CR are installed aswell. Check out http://www.crystaldescisions.com There's some knowledgebase stuff in the support section explaining how to do it. Andy
