Crystal Reports version compatibility problems

We have a program, developed using VB4(32) and incorporating Crystal Reports 3 which we have distributed to a number of clients.

One new client is running another program using Crystal Reports 5, and we cannot get our software to run alongside this other program.

When launching our program, a message box displayed the error "Can't load (or register) custom control 'Crystl32.ocx'".

Upon investigation, the cause of the error was found to be the 'CRPE32.DLL'. Our client had version 5 already registered on their PC, and our install routine failed to copy/register our earlier version of CRPE32.DLL.

How can we overcome this problem without having to resort to upgrading all our clients to a newer version of Crystal Reports?
