crystal report deployment problem

[beppe1964]

I have developed a program with VisualStudio2017 in VBNet; I have also created (always with VS2017) the setup program to install the application on a PC that does not have the development environment. But the application does not work and provides the following error:

I downloaded CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_12.msi and ran the installation but I still get the same error.

Who can help me solve this problem?

Thank you.

Best regards.

Hello,

All of the runtime files are here:

https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Crystal+Reports%2C+Developer+for+Visual+Studio+Downloads

Set your project for the platform your app is designed for x86 or x64, not AnyCPU. and then run the matching MSI package from the download page.

Hi Don,

I downloaded CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_21.msi and now it works correctly!

Thank you very much.

And to add to what Don said, there is no way to correctly install the SDK runtime without using one of the separate runtime installs that he mentioned - you cannot just try to integrate it into your application install because it won't get all of the internal dependencies and registry settings required for the runtime to work correctly.
