Deploy Crystal Reports 2008 Run-time on Remote Server

Submitted by Ben Hodson on Sun, 09/28/2008 - 17:13

I set up a simple Crystal Reports application in my ASP.NET web project using Visual Studio 2008. Everything ran just fine locally. I tested and was ready to deploy to a remote Windows 2003 Server.

I tried XCopying DLL's to the BIN folder, tried to register Crystal DLL's manually, tried running different Crystal Installers. Nothing worked. Then I found this MSI:



C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\CrystalReports10_5\CRRedist2008_x86.msi

This MSI installs all the necessary files. After running this MSI, everything works fine with no errors.
