Figured out how to deploy Crystal Reports. The process is much smoother than VS 2003 and VS 2005. I am happy to say also that we will now develop our next project using Crystal reports. Here's how to deploy it:

1. Locate on your development computer the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\CrystalRe ports10_5

2. Within the directory locate the following file for x86 computers:
CRRedist2008_x86.msi

3. Run the file on the server where you plan to deploy Crystal reports.

4. Reboot the server.


The msi installs and registers all the dll's needed to run Crystal Reports.

Happy Coding :-)
