I've written a Windows application that lets a user choose one of several Crystal Reports from a drop-down list, and then click a button to run that report.

I've followed the instructions and documentation I have on how to create the set-up project for the applictaion. The set-up package is building successfully. However, the application is not running once installed on other computers. Obviously, not all the required dlls are being distributed.

My set-up package includes the following merge modules:

crnetruntime.msm
license.msm
reportengine.msm

Once deployed and run, my users are seeing the following error:

"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue,
the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms, Version=10.2.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

Has anyone had a similar experience? Have there been changes to the distribution requirements for Visual Studio 2005 (the version I am running), since the book came out?

Any help would be appreciated.

hello my friend:
since I know u need CRRedist2005_x86.msi to install CR_2005 for ur Win application
I suggest to make a setup project & select that from Prerequisites of that
