Crystl32.ocx registration problem

[RohanP]

Hi There,
I have made a software using vb/sql server/crystal reports 7. Reports r made in Crystal Reports Designer, to display report frm VB I am using Crystl32.ocx component.

The problem is crystl32.ocx is unable to register. Whenever I try to register it executing - REGSVR32 "D:\REPORTS\Cyrstl32.ocx" -

I get the following error
----------------
- LoadLibrary (D:\REPORTS\Crystl32.ocx) failed.
Get last error returns 0x00000485.
----------------

The temp solution I thought was to do Minimum Installation of Crystal Reports on client machine. I know this is a wrong way but couldnt help it. Can anyone help me out of this problem?

Why I am getting above mentioned error while registering crystl32.ocx?
Is there need to register any other files?

Help will be appriciated ______________________________

Two ideas:
1. Unregister and delete the crystal32.ocx on the target machine. Try to register it and copy it into the system folder.
2. Abandon the OCX and migrate to the RDC(as suggested by CR). I did this not too long ago and I was never happier.

The functionality and control that the RDC offers blows away the OCX. Search Crystals website for the white paper on migrating from the OCX to the RDC. If you do it, you will not regret it.
