Has anyone redistributed CR7 Web Report Server via DLLs

[alicam]

The documentation from different Crystal sources does not match regarding which files to send to a new server which does not have Crystal. The server is being used for clients to view unmanaged reports via web.

Normally we install Web Report Server from CD. This time the requirement is to send re-distributable files to install it.

Anyone who has done this, any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. Is that for compiled reports only?

hi
you can compile the report as an exe file.
in the selection you have
compile and distribution.
compile adds all the dll and the report viewer and data
distribution adds the dll and data

but if the data changes since the got the report, they have to download the most recent to have the updated information.

cheers
