CA Forum: Deployment
Hi,I created an application in VS.net2005 (VB.net2005) with CRs based on the Crystal Reports version embedded in VS.net2005.To deploy the application to the client computers,I downloaded the merge modules "cr_net_2005_mergemodules_mlb_x86.zip"from "http://support.businessobjects.com/downloads/runtime.asp"and created a setup.exe as it is describe in the docu given in the .zip file.I installed the setup.exe on a client (WinXP-SP2) and loading and displaying a CRby the application leads to the error message:[English]
System.Exception: Load report failed. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): The system

He solved the problem with:I installed the CRRedist2005_x86.msi file on the non-development PC - located in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\CrystalReports
everything works as it should.source: http://bytes.com/forum/thread522022.htmlhttp://www.msnewsgroups.net/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.la... followed his suggestion and my problem disappeared.Is this the right solution or is there a better one available?I just wonder because I have not found a hint that "CRRedist2005_x86.msi" really seems to be neededon "http://support.businessobjects.com/downloads/runtime.asp".Thanks in advance.Michael
