5. Open Merge Module .... "CrystalReports11_5_RDC_License.msm"
6. Place the "Property"-"PIDKEY" value (I place my KEY). and SAVE
7. With help of the "Microsoft Development Enviornment" i add all the MSM files on crxir2sp3_rdc_merge_modules

So on a different computer? Or are you saying VB IDE works where exe does not?

I would assume you mean a different computer. I'm also assuming the error occurs when you load a form with a CrViewer? Are you running as Administrator AND as the same user at which the install was ran? There's probably a crystal dll on the dev machine that wasn't installed OR with the proper priveledges on the other. I've had my share of headaches from crystall dll's. Most of my issues have been user rights. The files I've noted as causing my issues are possibly - P2smon.dll,crviewer.dll,crpaig80.dll, and 3 of - crax???.dll. I'm not using the same version of crystal so those files may not be relevant, nor am I familiar with steps 3-7 but it sounds like a missing dll. If no one else can help here, perhaps try the crystal forums. Also maybe try searching for required dll's for crystal 11.5 CrViewer.
