Problem installing with merge module

Question

I use CR Developer, Product Type Full, version 11.5.8.826.
I use it to design RPT files that use XML and XSD files as data sources.
I deploy these RPT files to client machines that also run a web enabled app I developed using ASP.NET v.2
I built an installer with the CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm merge module.
However, when I install on a clean client machine with the MSI I created I get some weird database access error in the Crystal Reportviewer that's embedded in my ASP.NET webpage.
When I then install the entire CR Developer product on the client machine everything works fine.
So clearly, the merge module I use does not install and register all the files required to make my product work. Am I using the wrong merge module? Should I be using the four RDC merge modules?
It's clearly not acceptable to have install the entire CR Developer app. Also, I saw another thread where they were talking about copying the entire C:\Program Files\Business Objects\common\3.5\bin directory to the client machine. That cannot be an acceptable solution either, right?
I need a definitive answer how to deploy the correct runtime environment to make my RPT files correctly run using the Report viewer in my web pages.
To be clear, I do NOT use VS.NET 2005 to develop my RPT files. I do not use anything built into Visual Studio to build my RPT files. The only interaction with .NET is that I have a Reportviewer object embedded in one ASP.NET web page that visualizes the RPT files I previously created using the CR Developer app.
This is from my web.config file:
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=11.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.ReportSource, Version=11.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=11.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=11.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
This is the aspx from the web page that shows the report viewer:
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="true"
    CodeFile="ReportPage.aspx.cs" Inherits="Paladin_CReports.ReportPage" Title="Paladin Reports - Crystal Reports - Report" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=11.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"
    Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web" TagPrefix="CR" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="Server">
    <asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" Height="28px" Style="z-index: 100; left: 0px;
        position: absolute; top: 148px" Width="1014px">
        <CR:CrystalReportViewer ID="CrystalReportViewer1" runat="server" AutoDataBind="true"
            DisplayGroupTree="False"
            Style="z-index: 120; left: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px" HasCrystalLogo="False"
            EnableDrillDown="False" HasDrillUpButton="False" HasToggleGroupTreeButton="False"
            HasViewList="False" ShowAllPageIds="True" HasRefreshButton="True" />
    </asp:Panel>
</asp:Content>

Hi,
Give a try to five read permissions to IIS_WPG for the temp folder which is under your account(In case of web application) and in case of windows app give read permission to a user for c:\windows\temp and to the folder which contains crystal reports.
Need more info?
What meerge module you have downloaded?
Right merge modules are [here|http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/runtime.asp#06]
Note if appliaction uses RDC only then you need to install RDC merge modules.
Windows or web application?
Are you changing the XML schema?
Hope this help!!
