Problem in ASP.net with crystal report.

[Devendra]

Hi,

I am deploying an application which has crystal reports.
I have a server which has only dotnet framework installed. I copied the dll
files from the local server and add them in GAC . I copied the dlls in a
c:/AnyFolder folder....
Is it required to be added in the system folder ...

Thanks,
Regards,
Dev

Hello Devendra,
If you using any form of setup when delivering your application you can include
Crystal Report Merge Modules which will do the necesary work that required
for crystal report to work.
I dont think it will be just enough to copy crystal report dlls to work since
one of the module requires licensing information to be provided (such as
serial number) which you should get from Crystal Reports.

On my machine it located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules and
I am using following modules:
Crystal_Database_Access2003.msm
Crystal_Database_Access2003_enu.msm
Crystal_Managed2003.msm
Crystal_regwiz2003.msm ( one you should provide with serial number).

This is officeal CrystalReports way of delivering you applcation along with
CrystalReports.
May be coping DLL will work some how but its unoffical, might not work in
some cases and defeniatly not recomended.

Hope it helps,
Oleg

Hi

As i have attached the error message along with my earlier posting, I am
working on dotnet 2.0 and crystal report 10.0
And these files which i need to add (*.msm) are for 1.1 and crystal report
9.0

As given in some of the documentation i added the following file.
CrystalReports10_NET_EmbeddedReporting.msm
But it didnt work. The setup tries to look for some different version of
..net So i thought probably there is some other version of .net 2.0 beta .
It was really stupid to think so .. But after that i removed .net 2.0 beta
from the machine and tried to install it from download on MSDN.
Now after i install it. its not showing it in the IIS for choosing the
dotnet version for an application.

I think i will take a fresh server and do all these things all over again !!

If any of you got some better solution do let me know !!

Thanks,
