VB6 + Crystal Reports 9 without installation

VB6 + Crystal Reports 9 without installation

• Rivendale

  I put the .exe of my application on a mapped drive of the network with the DLLs, but I need to open this application from any computer wihtout to install this in each computer.
  When I tried to open the preview of the report, it shows a message error.

  So you have a report inside your application but you tried to open it outside of the application (i.e. you just clicked on the report)   To just open the report outside of your application you'll need a crystal report designer installed on the target machine.
  
  If I'm misunderstanding you are you are trying to run an application that contains a viewer bound to a report and this is failing then please give some more details.  What is the error message

  Hello Keith,
  
  I made what you said and the report opened, but I need another way to make the report to open, without any installation in local computers.
  
  Thank you.

  Could you perhaps explain what you are trying to do.
  
  You want to open a VB6 application containing a Crystal Report And without an install of what exactly

  Hello,
  
  This will not work as you need to have the Crystal Reports runtime files properly registered in your local computers registry.

  Hi all,

  I have a similar question on CrystalReports distributed with VisualStudio2005 for Developers.

  Our deployment scenario requires application to be runnable from a network share. We want to minimize the installation and maintenance burden.

  Does CRRedist2005_x86.msi have to be installed on every single client computer locally, or is there any alternative

  Thank you!

  I made an application in VB6 that have a preview of a report made on Crystal Reports 9. I made an installation package of the application with the VB 6 then I put the .exe and DLLs in a mapped drive of my intranet. I did not install the application in other computers; I only run the .exe of my application Visual Basic 6 with reports in Crystal Reports 9. The forms of VB6 are open without problems but when I try to open the form with the CRViewer9, where I could see the report, the system give me the follow message: "Run-Time Error '713': Application-defined or object-defined error."
  I need that my application run in other computers without the necessity of the installation of this application.
  
  Anyone could help me
