Crystal Report with Windows Vista Home Premium

Question

(Why I added Code and my paragraph becomes dis-order??)
Dear all,
This is my first post in this forum. So, if I put at wrong section, Mod please kindly move my thread.
Here is what I'm facing now.
I have an application which is coded in Visual Studio 2005 (VB.Net) using SQL Server Express 2005 edition. This project include report sections which I used Visual Studio built-in Crystal Report. (My development PC is running XP Pro edition)
I already tested it in Windows XP Professional Edition (this is a clean OS no programming or other tools installed in it) and it worked well and it display the report accordingly and correctly.
But when I tested it in Vista Home Premium, it got error and I can't run all reports. I juse ADO.Net connectivity to connect between Database and Crystal Report.
Below is a sample which is provided by Crystal Report under my C:\program files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Crystal Reports\Samples\en\Code \ VB_Win_Data_DataSets. The way I connect is follow this project standard. Even the sample project got this error in Vista Home, I think it may be Vista problem or Crystal report problem. It will not my connection problem.
Because my customer PC is running Vista Home Premium, now I'm in dead end. Kindly please tell me what should I do to solve this case.
Thanks.

Hi Ludek,
Sorry, I was on vacation and didn't notice the email alert.
I didn't deployed yet. Because I want to make sure it runs OK on vista, I didn't create a setup or deploy project in .Net.
I just build and copy the entire bin folder and required data to Vista PC and test it.
then it hits this error. (All other parts of my program is working well like CRUD data to DB.)
(I did install this file "crredist2005_x86.msi" on Vista PC.)
Thanks for all your support.
I still didn't solve this case.
What I do now is I change the way I connect to Server for all Crystal Reports.
At first I use Dataset and map it to Server.
Now I directly connect to it without pass through dataset. (Use OLEDB SQL Server.)
But I still want to know how to solve this case.
If anyone know it. Please share your idea and experience here.
thanks.
