2003 VS to 2005 VS broke Win app after upgrade

[Guest]

Greetings,
I created a windows application that displays a single form with a few
dropdowns to build a query to send to an embedded crystal reports viewer. I
just recently upgraded the app from VS 2003 to VS 2005. I then created a
deployment package and created the .MSI. The program works flawlessly on XP
with SP 2 dev machine with 2.0 framework 2.0.50727 and the older 1.1. I have
same framework(s) on test PC. The program fails to run on another PC with
this error recorded in app log:
EventType clr20r3, P1 kutak_report_builder.exe, P2 0.0.0.0, P3 448898ae, P4
kutak_report_builder, P5 0.0.0.0, P6 448898ae, P7 f, P8 ca, P9
system.invalidoperationexception, P10 NIL.
------------------------------------------------
google didn't help too much with a clean fix. This is not an ASP.net app,
which is what Im seeing others ask about. This is VB windows app.
Thanks to all for reading

Have you included CrystalReport.NET's merge modules in the intallation
package? For computer without VS installed, to use CrystalReport.NET report,
you must install some CrystalReport components, which are in those merge
modules.

Thanks for the reply, Norman. Yes, I did indeed include those modules. It
seems the more research I do on this error I keep ending up at a threading
problem..though I have never coded any threading operation. A very
frustrating problem.
