Crystal Report Error

I have developed a sales program for our office which works fabulously on my machine.  In the properties of the project in the references section I have tagged CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, CrystalDecisions.ReportSource, CrystalDecisions.Shared, CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms as "copy local".  I published the deployment package to our server and have the ability to install this package on another computer.  HOWEVER, after the package is loaded, everything works great except for the Crystal Report.  It doesn't appear that the references have been copied to the local machine and the the user gets the following error when trying to view or print a report, "Could not load file or assembly "CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms, Version=10.5.3700, Culture-neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies.  The system cannot find the file specified."

What in blazes have I left out?  How is this fixed?

Solution 1

have you added prerequisites in setup?
windows installer,
crystal report,
.net frame work 2.0 and upward if you used that

If it's giving error in report then check it's product-xml file in 'bootstrapper' folder from where your crystal report's installation package is binding to your setup(prerequisites). In that xml you will get dependency property, check that and include that dependency in setup

eg. path : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\CrystalReports10_5\product.xml

Happy Coding!
:)

You can download the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime package for .net Framework from the following link, and then install it on the target machine (please read the license carefully).
