VS.Net 2008/2010, CRP_2011, which references, which files to include in deployment of Win Application?

[Former Member]

1. VS.Net 2008:

-------------------------

I have a VS.Net 2008 Windows application with a form containing a CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer control.

I have CRP 2011 installed; I created some reports with it, stored as .rpt files in path accessible for my application

the references I am using in my VS.Net 2008 Windows application are (I think they come from the included CRP for .Net in VS.Net 2008):

C:\Programme\Business Objects\Common\2.8\managed\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll

C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework\10.5.3700.0__692fbea5521e1304\CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework.dll

C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore\10.5.3700.0__692fbea5521e1304\CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore.dll

C:\Programme\Business Objects\Common\2.8\managed\CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.dll

C:\Programme\Business Objects\Common\2.8\managed\CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll

C:\Programme\Business Objects\Common\2.8\managed\CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.dll

a) What do I have to include in my Setup project so that the reports can be used on the target machine(s) ???

2. VS.Net 2010: (CRP NOT included ?!)

-------------------------

I have CRP 2011 installed; I created some reports with it, stored as .rpt files in path accessible for my application

a) Can I find the necessary references somwhere in my CRP 2011 installation or is it necessary to download and install the free CRP for VS.Net 2010 to be able to use the CrystalReportsViewer ?

b) What do I have to include in my Setup project so that the reports can be used on the target machine(s) ???

Hope somebody can help me, Thanks.

CR 2011 does not automatically come with the .NET SDK, so what you see in VS 2008 is an earlier version of the SDK than CR 2011.  You have to download and install "Crystal for Visual Studio" in order to integrate Crystal into VS 2010 or VS 2012.  You can go here to find the links to download it:  http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824.  You need to download the "Install Executable" for the integration with VS 2010.  To include this in your setup, download either the MSI or the Click Once installer from the same URL.
