deploy winform application on the client workstation

[Former Member]

Hello, I created an application winform with visual studio 2010, language C #, by using reports crystal report (version 2008).

I would like to deploy my application on the client pc, it's a week that I try but to no avail.

I used crystal report for visual studio to use crystal reports in my application.

after i would like to create an executable file (setup project ) to install it on the client machine, i have added the merges modules (4 files : Crystal_Database_Access2003.msm, Crystal_Database_Access2003_enu.msm, Crystal_Managed2003.msm, Crystal_regwiz2003.msm) before generating the executable.

on the client pc, the application works fine, but once I want to generate reports crystal report, the following error message:

Syetem.IO.FileNotFoundException: could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=92fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. Le fichier spécifié est introuvable.

please if you tell me the method to deploy my application on the client workstation

Moved to CR for VS tag.

Go here for the runtime now:

Must read the info for SP 21.

I installed CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0 in the client machine, the application works fine, but another error message display:

The type initializer for "CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.CRPE" threw an exception. Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {11BD5260-15B6-412D-80DB-12BB60B8FE50}

I changed the target platform from x86 to Any CPU, without results
