CE10 ActiveX Viewer - Silent Install?

[deb13]

I am forcing our users to use ActiveX viewer. This normally downloads on first view for a new user. However, we have policied our users to disable access to local disk (C and now the ActiveX viewer will not install under user account.

Does anyone know where I can find the download for the ActiveX viewer so that we can pass it through to users as a silent install or in the logon scripts?

Thanks in advance.

I am having the same issue. In CE 8.5 Crystal Decisions provided npviewer.exe that we used to perform an install with elevated permissions (users cannot install software).

I am in the process of upgrading to v10 and now there is no executable to install the activex viewer. The only way I have found so far is to click on a report which means you will need to have appropriate permissions or you get an error stating that the Crystal Reports Viewer Cannot Create it's Resource Objects.

I contacted BO about this and initially they said to that we could just create an msi package to perform the install. On the next call a tech there sent me an msi package, but it did not work as ours will not(comes up as "damaged" in downloaded program files. Subsequent calls to BO tech support have not helped (I was on the phone with them for 2 hrs. on this! arrg!). They will not budge on providing a solution for this.

tech support said to use the DHTML viewer, but even then the print control is an activex control and will need to be installed unless we use RAS and the Enhanced DHTML/Acrobat print control.

We have tried every which way to create an msi for the install, but as I wrote above, we have not been successful.

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Thank You
