Where do I download the windows installer?

I am having a very difficult getting a simple "hello world" Cyrstal Report to run on my web server.

I developing with VS2005 and Crystal Reports for .Net.

I have read many help files and support documents from Microsoft and Business Objects that tell me to use:

  1. The Windows Installer (install once on the server and be done with it) -or-
  2. Merge Modules which must be included with every deployment.

What they have not told me is where do I download these files from. I have scoured Business Objects web site trying to find something to download. I found files for XI, CR 10 and CR 9, but nothing for Crystal Reports for .Net using VS2005.

Questions

  1. Where can I download the windows installer to install the assemblies I need for Crystal to run reports on my web server using .Net 2.0 and VS2005
  2. Where can I download the merge modules for .Net 2.0 and VS2005 if the windows installer does not work

    I was able to solve my problem after days of search and experimenting I finally realized were I confused.

    I was looking for the installer on Microsoft's and Business Objects' website. What I have since come to realize is that I need to create the installer package myself and install it on the server.

    To create the crystal reports installer for my server I:

    1. created a deployment project.
    2. right clicked and opened the properities window of the deployment setup.
    3. clicked the Prequesities button.
    4. selected MDAC 2.8 and Crystal Reports for .Net 2.0
    5. compiled the deployment project.
    6. the redistributabe now resides in the [Project Name]/release/Crystal Reports directory with the name CRRedist2005_x86.msi

    I hope this post is able to help someone else with the same issue.

    Thanks a lot for your info. It saved me a lot. Thanks again. Keep sharing such things..



  • Jeremy Holmes

    Excellent. That solved my problem. In my case, I was just looking for that Crystal msi file, to run it separately. I did that and now everything works.
