Deploy Crystal Reports XI Release 2 without setup project

We are upgrading our development environment to Crystal Reports XI Release 2. Once we have done this we'll need to upgrade our production web server for Release 2. We can't create a setup project for the application, long story but we have an automated job that does our release to production on a file by file basis. So what files do I need to copy/install on the production server to upgrade it to Release 2?

Don \ Jason,
We are currently running Crystal Reports .Net Server R1 On our internal web servers. I am in the process of getting R2 installed on our food chain. Due to some configuration limitations, our standards are to have non OS applications installed on a different partition. I have been looking for some option strings to pass into the MSI to override the install location.I have not been able to find anything.
Is this possible to do? I noticed even when you simply run the MSI it never asks to confirm an install location.
I am running this MSI : CrystalReports11_5_NET.msi
Thanks,
Mike

Deploy Crystal Report via ClickOnce without .msi

Hi,
I would like to know whether it's possible to deploy Crystal Report without requiring admin rights from the installer.
My program uses many 3rd party components. Most of them very heavyweight with licensing, COM objects etc but Crystal Report is the only one that needs a .msi install. Is it possible to include Crystal Report's dll with the application? I tried it but Crystal Report failed to load at the form saying there's something wrong with the installation (I didn't "install").

Only way to distribute the CR runtime is via the MSM or MSI files. For links to the msm and msi files see [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567] wiki.

Deploying Crystal Report 11.5 without using .msm or .msi

Post Author: kquach
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi,
I am trying to deploy the Crystal 11.5 runtimes .dlls for my project. I want to deploy the assemblies without using the merge modules or running the .msi project (the .msi and .msm files contains a lot of assemblies that my project does not require). However, when I try to install only the .dlls that my project references, I get the following in my project when loading a report:
An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime. Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient, or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly.
If someone knows how to deploy the Crystal Reports assemblies with using the merge modules or .msi, please let me know.
Thanks,

Morning Keit,
I have deployed an application about 2mins ago and I had the same problem before I added the merge files. I have found an article [http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3129696&SiteID=1&mode=1] in a thread here. This link shows how to install the Runtime CR2008 on client machine to make things work.
I personaly thinks deploying applications using not only CR but other products as well is a nightmare, myself I prefer using web based applications as they do not need much requirements on client pc (that is if everything is pushed from the server).
The way I deployed my application is getting the appropriate dll files and added them into the application setup and also added a prerequiste of CR 2008 with Data access components 2008 (you can find this when you right click on the application setup --->properties -
>prerequsite button.
Once I clicked CR2008 pre, it added a Runtime file into my application setup folder, I ran the application at client pcs and it is working fine.

Deploying Crystal Reports 2008 runtimes without using MSI/MSM

Post Author: windentdev
CA Forum: Deployment
We are having multiple issues with using the MSI or the Merge module to deploy the 2008 runtimes.
Specifically, one of the issues is that PrintControll.dll will not register and causes the runtime package to fail.
How can we deploy these run times w/o using the MSI or merge module??
We just upgraded from Crystal Reports 11.5 and this is becoming a burden to our project. Are there any whitepapers on what is needed or any other instruction that may assist us in a sucessful deployment of these runtimes?

I eventually found the problem. I used depends to trace the printcontrol.dll and found that it requires msvcr71.dll to be installed in the system folder. This is a Visual C++ 7.1 (.net 2003) library. It looks like Business Objects forgot to put this into their runtime installer. That is why it works on some computers and not others. Some computers have this dll file installed as part of other software (including other crystal reports versions). I created a patch installer that basically drops this dll file into the system folder. Once that is done, then the runtime installs correctly.
If you would like to recreate this problem, try installing the CR2008 runtime (MM, EXE, or compact) on a FRESH copy of Windows. It will error out everytime.
If anyone reading this would like my patch, please send me an email.

Crystal Report XI Release 2 - Deployment Bug on SQL Server

Post Author: PeterLiebich
CA Forum: General
H
We have a VS 2005 Crystal web app deployed onto a server - not using the RAS but using the Crsytal Report Viewer.
Nearly Everything is working however we have one slight bug which is driving me mad.
All of our reports are constructed against a development SQL Server, and then the Application resets the report location at run time to the Appropriate production server.
Everything works fine when I run the appliction via VS 2005 on my XP machine, the reports repoint successfully etc.
When I build the App and deploy it to a server, the CrystalReportViewer fails with a "Database logon failed" if (and only if) the name of the database that the report was developent against is the same as the name as the database is being repointed to (on a different server). If the developement and production databases have different names then the resetting of the location works fine.
As I said the repointing works fine when I run the App on my development machine which has Crystal Reports XI Release 2 installed.
On the Server I have installED the Crystal dlls via CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msi dated 2007/03/01.
I have also tried to deploy dlls via a GAC using CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm dated 2006/02/24.
All to no avail
Here is the code I use to repoint the report
Dim crConnectionInfo As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo
crConnectionInfo.IntegratedSecurity = True
crConnectionInfo.ServerName = v_ServerName
crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = v_DatabaseName
'loop through all the tables and pass in the connection info
Dim crTableLogOnInfo As CrystalDecisions.Shared.TableLogOnInfo
For Each crTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In Me.m_ReportDocument.Database.Tables
crTableLogOnInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo
crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo)
Next
'set the crSections object to the current report's sections
'loop through all the sections to find all the report objects
Dim crSubreportObject As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.SubreportObject
Dim crSubreportDocument As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
For Each crSection As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section In Me.m_ReportDocument.ReportDefinition.Sections
'loop through all the report objects to find all the subreports
For Each crReportObject As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportObject In crSection.ReportObjects
    If crReportObject.Kind = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject Then
    ' you will need to typecast the reportobject to a subreport object once you find it
     crSubreportObject = CType(crReportObject, CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.SubreportObject)
     'open the subreport object
     crSubreportDocument = crSubreportObject.OpenSubreport(crSubreportObject.SubreportName)
    'loop through all the tables in the subreport and
    'apply the connection set up previously to the subreports
    For Each crTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In crSubreportDocument.Database.Tables
      crTableLogOnInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo
      crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
      crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo)
    Next
    End If
Next

Don't know if you ever found a solution, but here is how I got it to work.
1) If it was created pointing to a localhost database, it may be using named pipes to connect, where as production / test uses TCP/IP. Our CR9 system automatically switched from Named Pipes to TCP/IP but CR11 does not. Repointing the report to a non local version of the database fixed one problem of runtime switching. (This includes switching back to localhost).
2) When you change the server name, CR11 does not update the table object, but clones it and applies the update to the clone. I needed to update the location apply the update and then apply the login change (I am not using integrated security, so this may not apply to you.). See the code below. I call setServerInfo and then setLogonInfo. Sub setLogonInfo(ByRef myReport As ReportDocument)
        Dim logonInfo As New TableLogOnInfo
        Dim table As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table
        For Each table In myReport.Database.Tables
            logonInfo = table.LogOnInfo
            logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.UserID = loginName
            logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.Password = loginPassword
            table.ApplyLogOnInfo(logonInfo)
        Next table
    End Sub
    Sub setServerInfo(ByRef myReport As ReportDocument)
        Dim logonInfo As New TableLogOnInfo
        Dim table As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table
        For Each table In myReport.Database.Tables
            logonInfo = table.LogOnInfo
            Select Case AppSettings("DataEnvironment")
                 Case "PRODUCTION"
                      logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = "productionServer.local"
                 Case "TEST"
                      logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = "testServer.local"
                 Case "LOCAL"
                      logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = "localhost"
             End Select
             table.ApplyLogOnInfo(logonInfo)

Deploying 'Crystal Reports' on a 64 bit machine

Hi,
I am trying to deploy my application on a 64 bit machine.
I am using Crystal Reports XI release 2.
When I tried to deploy it ona 32 bit machine i simply added the
CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm file to my detup project and it worked.
However, when I tried to do the same thing on the 64 bit (with a 64 bit setup project)
I recieved a runtime error message:
"An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime.
Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient or the Crystal Reports runtime
is not installed correctly."
after that it was said:
"Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi)
containing the correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64 or Itanium) required..."
I installed 'CRRedist2005_X64.msi' on the 64 bit machine and tried to run my setup with and without
the CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm file, and it didn't work.
What should I do next?
Thanks,
Arik

Hi Arik,
You need to use the CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm file for the application deployment.The 'CRRedist2005_X64.msi' is meant for the bundled version of Crystal for Visual Studio 2005.
You could refer to this [Business Objects Note.|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do]
In addition, you would need to enable the 32 bit mode of the ASP.NET 2.0 on the deployment server. This is because it is necessary to run the application under 32 bit mode. Please refer this MS Kbase article for more info - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435

Deploying Crystal Reports runtime using merge module failed

Hi,
I am having a problem when deploying Crystal Reports using merge module runtime, included into MS Visual Studio web setup project, when installing my *.msi with CR runtime on a completely clean PC (with only MS Windows installed). Error: Failed to register one of the Crystal Reportsu2019 *.dll because it could not find Microsoft visual C++ runtime (msvcr71.dll was not in Windows\System32 folder)
I am using Crystal Reports runtime merge modules, which I downloaded from here: https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm
I tried both cr120_mm.zip (Crystal Reports 2008) and cr121_mm.zip (Crystal Reports 2008 SP1)
cr120 could not find msvcr71.dll, cr121 could not find msvcp80.dll.
Steps to reproduce:
-          In MS Visual Studio 2008 create a new empty Web Setup Project.
-          Add Crystal Reports merge module CRRuntime_12_0.msm or CRRuntime_12_1.msm
-          Build *.msi
-          Try to install this *.msi on a completely clean PC. I tried it on Windows Server 2003 R2 SP3, which did not have msvcr71.dll or msvcp80.dll files in C:\Windows\System32 or in any other PATH folders.
-          During installation there is an error u2013 failed to register one of the Crystal Reportsu2019 *.dll
I am looking forward to hear from you.
Thank you.

Upgrading Crystal Reports XI Release 2 to CR 2008: Where is ReportDocument

I am attempting to upgrade our .NET Crystal Reports code from Crystal Reports XI Release 2 on Visual Studio 2005 SP1 to Crystal Reports 2008 on the same compiler. We use the ReportDocument interface and I can't seem to find it in the new Crystal Reports 4.0 managed directory. Here's the top of the .header file that worked in the old environment:
#using <CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll>
#using <CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll>
#using <CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore.dll>
using namespace CrystalDecisions::Shared;
using namespace CrystalDecisions::CrystalReports::Engine;
With that code in place, I get compiler errors indicating that the packages can't be found:
c:\dev\sources\videoview_6_6\video\nextlink\reportfaxservice\NReportFaxServiceImpl.h(13) : fatal error C1107: could not find assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll': please specify the assembly search path using /AI or by setting the LIBPATH
environment variable
If I comment out the lines as follows and add in the ReportDefModel (the only dll that appears to have a ReportDocument symbol):
// #using <CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll>
// #using <CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll>
#using <CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore.dll>
#using <CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.dll>
// using namespace CrystalDecisions::Shared;
// using namespace CrystalDecisions::CrystalReports::Engine;
using namespace CrystalDecisions::ReportAppServer::ReportDefModel;
Then, I get compiler errors like this:
NReportFaxServiceImpl.cpp(306) : error C2039: 'Close' : is not a member of 'CrystalDecisions::ReportAppServer::ReportDefModel::ReportDocument'
 c:\dev\businessobjects\common\4.0\managed\crystaldecisions.reportappserver.reportdefmodel.dll : see declaration of 'CrystalDecisions::ReportAppServer::ReportDefModel::ReportDocument'

 c:\dev\businessobjects\common\4.0\managed\crystaldecisions.reportappserver.reportdefmodel.dll : see declaration of 'CrystalDecisions::ReportAppServer::ReportDefModel::ReportDocument'
Here's line 306 of that source file, for example:
NReportFaxServiceImpl::~NReportFaxServiceImpl()
 DESTLOG( LOG_NREPORTSERVER, "NReportFaxServiceImpl::~NReportFaxServiceImpl", "[[[]]]" );
 RFaxCloseServerHandle( _hRightFaxServer );
 // close all the report documents
 IDictionaryEnumerator^ enumReportDocuments = _mapReportDocuments->GetEnumerator();
 while( enumReportDocuments->MoveNext() )
 Object^ reportName = enumReportDocuments->Key;
 ReportDocument^ crReportDocument = dynamic_cast<ReportDocument^>(enumReportDocuments->Value);
/* line 306 */ crReportDocument->Close();
Can anyone advise me of the correct #using directive to specify to pull in the ReportDocument object?
Thanks.

Okay, we seem to be getting somewhere. I switched the /AI directive to point to the managed/dotnet2 directory, but then I get the following warning:
c:\dev\sources\videoview_6_6\video\nextlink\reportfaxservice\NReportFaxServiceImpl.h(15) : fatal error C1107: could not find assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore.dll': please specify the assembly search path using /AI or by setting the LIBPATH environment variable
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'c:\dev\VisualStudio\VC\bin\cl.EXE' : return code '0x2'
So, I commented out the following line in the header:
#using <CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore.dll>
Then, I get the following error when I try to make the project:
NReportFaxServiceImpl.cpp(982) : error C3624: 'System::Drawing::Printing::PrinterSettings': use of this type requires a reference to assembly 'System.Drawing'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'c:\dev\VisualStudio\VC\bin\cl.EXE' : return code '0x2'
Here is line 982:
 crReportDocument->PrintToPrinter(1, false, 0, 0);
So, I'm assuming that maybe I need to provide an assembly search path to both the managed and the managed/dotnet2 directories. Is that correct? If so, is order dependent between those two /AI directives.
Thanks.

Error in crystal report XI release 2 in Vista OS

Post Author: cormalado
CA Forum: General
Hi All,
I am a Newbie.......
I have written an application where it displays the report.
I have two test machines, "Machine 1" in which crystal reports XI release 2 is installed and "Machine 2" where it is not installed.
Now when I run the application in the machine where CR11 is installed,it runs perfectly fine.(It has XP Operating System)
Inorder to make the application run on machine 2 where CR11 is not installed.(It has Vista Operating System) what should i do. (I don't want to install CR11 there.)
Now in order to run in the Vista machine, I need to register the DLL's which are made used to run and display the report as in Machine 1.
I got these DLL's from machine 1 where XP is installed which i felt are necessary to display the report.....correct me if I am missing something.
craxdrt.dllcrdb_ado.dllcrqe.dllcrtslv.dllcrviewer.dllcrxf_rtf.dllExportModeller.dllquerybuilder.dllu2ddisk.dllu2ftext.dllufmanager.dll
Now how should i register these.....i tries Regsvr32.exe to register, but was able to register only few and rest were displaying an error as
"LoadLibrary failed "    or    "Entrypoint not found".
I think there might be some dependencies for the DLL's mentioned above.
I got the above mentioned list of DLL's from CR9 since these DLL's were made used in CR9 with some different name, when i ran the application in Vista machine with these DLL's I was able to run without any problems.
Now my question is:
Are these the only DLL's which are made used to display the report in Machine 2 where Vista is installed and if not what are the other dll's.
And where shoud these be residing (Is it in system32 folder or ..\Program Files\Common Files\..... ?) and how should I register these DLL's ? (i.e the order of registering them.)
Any sugesstion would greatly be accepted.   Kindly help me.

Try psoting technical information.
You wrote an application, but you won't bother to say what language/environment??? Your first application, or first time you've asked for technical support?
And what edition of CR XI do you have, and is it CR XI SR2?
The Developer edition is required for what you are asking, and you can check the help file within for the file dependencies.
Might be a compatability issue, I think SR2 is required.

Integrate Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and VS2005 IDE

Hi,How can i integrate Crystal Reports XI R2 is directly into the Visual Studio 2005 development environments. So i can host my report in either a Web or Windows application with one of the Crystal Reports viewer controls, or use the extensive API to interact with the report programmatically at runtime. My current setup is:<blockquote>Crystal Reports XI Release 2.</blockquote><blockquote>Visual Studio 2005 Professional (I did not install the Crystal Reports .Net shipped with VS 2005.)SQ Server 2000. </blockquote>Thanks Please help.

You'll need to install the Crystal .NET that comes with VS 2005.Â You then install Crystal XI R2 over the top and not only will Crystal be integrated with the IDE, it should use the updated assemblies from R2.

Deploying crystal reports basic for visual studio 2008 for VB6

My application has a module in .net and other in vb6.
I have a problem on deploying crystal reports in client machines, for module in vb6.
The vb6 application uses crystal viewer control obtained from crystal reports basic for visual studio 2008.
What type of deployment should I use?
Currently, I have a setup with prerequisite "crystal reports basic for visual studio 2008".
But I think it misses the dlls crviewer.dll and craxddrt.dll, so I put them in setup and with the register COM options, and it works, but it's not working very well.
When I open a form that uses crystal viewer, the setup (I have created) is lunched and says that have to restart machine. Then it opens the report, but the next time I use the application it does the same thing.

Ok, thank's for the posts, they help so much.
So I'm going to discard vb6 and move to .NET, but... there is a problem:
Many reports have parameters that are asked before showing the report.
The Crystal Viewer that is used in VB6 version isn't the same used in .NET.
The viewer of VB6 asks the parameters in the way we want, however the .NET crystal viewer ask's the parameters in way that we don't like, because we have to do next -> next -> next...
The links above show the diferences:
VB6 -> http://picasaweb.google.com.br/paulo.gonc/CrystalReports#5249249283702618322
.NET -> http://picasaweb.google.com.br/paulo.gonc/CrystalReports#5249246459437178242
There is a way to configure Crystal Viewer, so that parameters asking form will work like the vb6 away?

Crystal Report Xi Release 2 upgrade

I have been tryig to upgrade my Crystal reports XI Release 2 with the latest service paks, but when i try to apply any they say that i need at least service pak 2. I try to install service pak 2 and it tells me that there. Another version of this product is already installed. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use add/remove on the control panel.
In the Addd/remove on the control panel there is a Crystal Reports XI Release 2. Im confused.. this is waht i want to upgrade why woudl i remove it? The version that is installed is 11.5.0.31327
This all started when i wanted to make a webapp displaya crstyal report and the follwoing error happend. The most popular fix seemed to be to upgarded to service pak 4 for crystal, but to get there i need service pak 2,3 but i cant install. The error i was receiving is listed below.

Salesforce and Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Full build with Service Pack 2

Hi
I need to install 'Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Full build with Service Pack 2' (CR XI R2 SP2) on a new computer but can't find the exe/zip file used previously to do that.
The reason I need that particular version is because (as I understand it) its the version needed to interface with our Salesforce application.
I have the CRXI original disks and keycode but as I understand it no manner of patching with SPs will get me to CR XI R2 SP2.
I've tried various searches and frustratingly come up with only dead links (old BO forums and SAP forums).
Is there a live link somewhere that I can use, or will a later version do the job?
For example, alternatively, will I be able to use the CR XI R2 SP4 file instead?

Hello,
Crystal Reports XI and XI R2 are not supported on 64 bit machines. I have not heard of any plans to change this. As you've discovered - the only version of Crystal Reports that is supported on a 64 bit machine is CR.NET 2005 (v10.2), the version that ships with VS2005.
Your options are to downgrade your application to use bundled CR.NET 2005 or to deploy your CR XI R2 .NET application to a 32 bit machine.

Crystal Reports XI Release 2: Error message when trying to install

I am unable to install Crystal Reports XI Release 2 onto my computer. After putting CD1 into my computer and clicking install, I get the following error message:
"Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid."
A couple members of my companies' I.T. department tried to help, but the error message was foreign to them. Tthey even built me a new hard drive, but unfortunately it gave me the same error message.
I am able to install Crystal Reports XI without a problem, but for some reason, Crystal Reports Release 2 will not install.
Any help you can provide in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

1.Are you able to neglect the installation window completely.
Like,can you just open your drive which accepts the cd and copy all the files from the win32 folder to another folder say "test".
2. If not on this machine, could you please try this on some other machine.
3.Otherwise you can download it from the following URL:

e_packs/crystal_reports_en.asp#CRXIR2
Please select the "Service Pack 2 - Full build - ZIP - 1.03 GB -released April 2007" hyperlink.
Let me know if this helps
Thanks

Deploying crystal reports 8.5 - error in exporting to RTF & PDF

Hi guys. I'm at my wits end, trying to get a valid build of a legacy app running reports under Crystal 8.5 going.
I've scoured google for days, and I've tried almost everything people have suggested. At the moment I've got the installer working, it installs and registers all the crystal dll's that everyone says are needed. However, when I try and and export a report to RTF or PDF (other options like excel work fine), it simply dies, doing basically nothing. The save to disk dialog just closes and nothing happens. If I rename or delete crxf_rtf.dll, the program will crash or hang, indicating that this is the file responsible for exporting to rtf.
However, the only machine in our office that this will work on is one with a C:\Program Files\Seagate Software\crtslv.dll file.. Same kind of test indicates that on this machine, the above file is being used for exporting. So, where am I going wrong? It seems ludicrously difficult to find a straight, no-nonsense guide on how to deploy crystal reports 8.5; the official documentation doesn't even mention it! What is the easiest way to do this?
I have tried several third-party options ( http://www.fryan0911.com/2008/09/crystal-report-85-runtime-files.html ) like these..
Any ideas?
Ok so here's a further breakdown with some more information; hoping it might help someone to come up with an answer...
If I install a crystal "distributable", like the one linked above, and then install my project (with all crystal stuff turned off in the installer), everything works perfectly apart from exporting reports to rtf.
If I make my own installer, following the Runtime.hlp and the crpe32.dep, and put all dll's in the windows/system32 folder (apart from two, can't remember their names), I get two different errors, depending on the version of crpe32.dll I use.
One gives me "Error 20599: Cannot connect to SQL Server", whenever I try and run a report.
The other gives me "Error 20000: N", whenever I try and run a report.
Anything sound familiar here guys? I have dll dependency headache.
Again, more info - I just checked out the PC's already in deployment (we had to re-do in the installer for some changes, the guys who did it originally aren't around anymore), and here is a list of the dll's installed on the machine.. what deployment method would this point to? And how can I replicate it? I'm not sure if I grabbed all the required DLL's from the client machine, as it didn't seem to follow the Crystal 8.5 deployment instructions, I could have easily have missed some? So I can't just use what I've got to create an installer and hope that it works...

Wow. I've never seen an app load all 3 SDKs in one go. the RDC, Automation Server, OCS and print engine APIs all in one (?!)Who wrote this app?
Don't know - the app was written years ago.. It's all a bit messed up, i'm just the cleaner :S
Once again, I have not a clue as to what SDK you are using.
What Sp1, SP2, SP3? Do you have links to these?
By SP3, I meant Windows XP Service Pack 3, 2, 1 - I've read around the net that Crystal 8.5 exporting breaks when you install sp3, and I thought that perhaps my deployments were failing because they were compiled on a sp3 box?
There is also CR 8.5 Service Pack 3 - apparently it can make CR work on Vista/Win7?
http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crystal_reports_en.asp
I have tried installing on dev machine, recompiling installer and running on test box - doesn't seem to help..
Do you have any machine where this actually works?
Yep, it's working on the clients machine - that is the one suffixed as "AA" in the linked difference file above
1st place to start is with a working app - is there such a thing? ^^
Next you want to know what SDK you are using.
Ok, so the VB6 app, under Project > References, lists : cpeaut32.dll
under Project > Components, lists: Crystl32.ocx
Is that any help?
Then you want to know what dlls to deploy.
Knowing the database connection type is good. - ODBC
Knowing the version of the db client that works is good. But that depends on having an actual working app.
Do you have CR 8.5 designer and are you able to run and refresh the report there?
Yep, I have 8.5 designer, and I can run and export the report fine.. But when I run MODULES on it, it's referencing C:\Program Files\Seagate Software\Shared\ExportModeller.dll & crtslv.dll.. Which don't exist on the client machine at this point in time..
I'd recommend you stop doing what ever you are doing, answer the questions and wait until I get back. As it is, you're all over the place and by the time I have a chance to reply, you're 1000 miles out in the bushes on your own. So, please answer the questions above and wait...
