I don't know if you're still waiting on an answer for this but I had the 
same issue when I migrated a crystal reports demo over to a server from my 
dev machine that had the full version of VS.Net on it.  One easy way to 
manage this is to use a setup package and if setup correctly when you 
migrate the application all the appropriate assemblies will be added to 
the assembly cache.  Now if you don't feel comfortable using those you can 
also manually add the necessary assemblies to the assembly cache.  You'll 
need to move the DLL's that are available for crystal reports over to the 
Web Server and add each assembly to the assemlby cache from the .Net 
Framework Configuration tool that is installed when you install VS.Net.  
You should not need to do a full install of VS.Net on the web server.  I 
hope this helps.

> We have a .NET web application that uses Crystal Reports.  When we moved
the application to the web server, it returned errors indicating that
the Crystal Reports assemblies were not available.  Upon further
investigation, I found that the Crystal Reports assemblies are not
installed on the web server.

My question is:  Do I have to use the Visual Studio.NET installation to
get Crystal Reports on my web server, or is there another way?

Thanks in advance..Chris
