Crystal Reports 9 deployment
-
Anybody with experiences in deploying CR9 with an application developed in VC 6.0 please help! I'm pulling my hair out one by one! App should be installed on win98 machines! I'm using CR9 Crystal Report Viewer Control implemented in my app, with printing, exporting functions as well. I build my setup package with Inno. I used all the crystal docs could find in the topic of figuring dependencies. I already have a bunch of files installed. I know the issue with unicows.dll, atl.dll, registering, not registering, etc. When I'm about to show the report in the app, it dies without errormessage. I already have all the files installed that Dependency Walker shows, same mdac, but still doesn't work. I developed the app under XP, but since than I installed the VC 6.0 to a win98 machine as well to check dependencies. Is anybody out there who has something similar working on win98? Might be possible to check file versions... thanks

Hi, I got through the same problem some time ago and there is the solution. Inno script with Crystal Report Installation.[**
Crystal Report 9 and 11 Installation - Inno Script
**](http://www.sportamok.com/development/delphi/13-inno-setup-crystal-report-deployment)I like Inno since it's fast, easy and you have full control over the whole process. Crystal Report msi package is just pain. Hope It helps.:thumbsup:
