Hi guys,

I am trying to build a setup file which will install my vb.net application with database and crystal report files to the client.

1.) I created my vb.net application in release mode.

2.) I created new setup project and added my vb.net application project in that solution.

3.) Also added the primary output in application folder

4.) [dun know how to add database so] created app_data folder inside the application folder and added the database file manually from add->file

5.) [dun know how to add crystal reports so] created reports folder inside the application folder and added the reports manually from add->file

6.) Build solution.

7.) Tried deploying in client machine.

8.) Application runs fine and works great. But crystal report files doesn't. When i try to open crystal report some long error messages comes in my way.

So I would like to know is the way i am doing to add the database file and crystal report files correct? how can i make crystal reports work in client machine?

PS: I am building my vb.net application in VS2008 and using Crystal Report 9

A: 

I think what you are missing is the Crystal Redistributable package. It needs to be installed on the host.
