Dear all,
I'm new to CR as well as VB. I need your advice on how to distribute reports created with CR9 to PCs that do not have CR installed.
I've created a report with CR9 and use VB6 to make it into an exe file (OS = WIN98). It works fine on the WIN98 PC that have CR installed. However, my task was to distribute it to other PCs that do not have CR installed (due to licensing issue, of coz).
What i did was to use the Package & Deployment Wizard in VB to pack the exe and dll files into a setup.exe file. I tried to run the setup file in other PCs but it didn't work:
1) in PCs with WIN98, the setup process completed without error but when i ran the CR exe file, an error regarding a "unicows.dll" file was shown.
2) in PCs with WIN2000, the setup process couldn't complete; the PCs just hang with task manager showing the setup is not responding.
I've searched the CR9 help files, Crystal Decision Website and many forums for solution but to no avail. I would appreciate if someone can give me advice on this. Thks!
