You can find the merge modules here:

http://support.businessobjects.com/downloads/runtime.asp#02

(You want the RDC merge modules)

And a white paper on how to create the deployment package here:

http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/rdc10_deployment.pdf.asp

I don't recommend using VB6 to create your deployment package because it doesn't understand merge modules. Instead - create your deployment package with visual studio or some other installer that can understand merge modules (Like Wise or InstallShield)

can you please walk me trough here:

are we going to add the merge module along with the dll files neede for crystal report crviewer,craxddrt etc.

or just only the merge module, disregard the dll files for crystal report.

thanks...

There is a white paper linked in my post - please read it - it answers your question.

Summary:

You add the merge modules only - not the Dll files manually. See white paper for more detail
