Missing DLL's in Crytal Report XI

[pungy]

OS- Windows XP SP3, VB6-enterprise, CrystalReport XI Developers Edition

I am packaging a VB6 application that calls CRViewer and executes various reports. I am using INNO SetUp to create the installation package.

I am not sure what Crsytal Report dlls are needed so I used MS Package and Deployment system to get the names of all files needed.

While running P&D, it tells me the following dlls are needed:
cslibu-2-0-0.dll
cxlibw-2-6.dll
ebus-3-3-2-4.dll
etc-1-0-12-3.dll
keycode.dll
libocahelperw-2-13.dll
libocasecurityw-1-6.dll
u2dpost.dll

I did a search of my C drive and could not come up with any of them. Earlier today I installed Crystal Report XI Release 2.

The application is NOT server based. The app will be installed on a stand-alone PC.

Do I need these dll's. If so, where can I find them?

I have the same question as pungy.

As you can see, the above question was never answered. What I did was to stop using Microsoft Package and Deployment system and started using a FREE package called InnoScript and InnoSetup. It took all the guest work out of "what to use". It also creates an "Uninstall" routine, desktop icon, and an optional Quick-Launch icon. Great little product.

If are interested in looking at this routine, I would be glad to help you set it up so that you wouldn't have the "first time user problems" like I had.

Pungy,

Thanks, I could use a little help. I've been trying to use someone elses suggestion (from another site) with visual studio 1.1 installer. So far no luck with that.

So if you wouldn't mind sharing some details on what to watch out for to avoid "first time user problems".

Also, was InnoScript and InnoSetup a free three day trial, or is there a free version? I won't mind paying for it as long as it works.

I will be back to you tomorrow (Thurdsay 12/18/08) with details. In the meantime, why don't you download InnoScript and InnoSetup. They are both FREE products. The only cost that I have seen then ask for is "donations". I've been using them for about 2 months and have not sent any donation in yet. I plan to in the future but I just haven't gotten around to it.

I wish we could do this via e-mails but the site ask people not to post their e-mail addresses. Do you know, is there any Private Message that can be sent via this board?

After you install InnoScript and InnoSetup, print the InnoScript Instructions.

Next step: From your Window Folder, do a search on ".dep" files and copy them into a new folder. (For example: I called the folder: Dep-Files.)
If you are using HELP files, copy "wshom.ocx" into the folder DEP-Files. In your VB project "References", make sure you have "Windows Script Host Object Model" checked off.

Please read the InnoScript Instructions.

When you get this far, let me know and I will take you through the next steps.
