need to install crystal reports on server?

[Guest]

Hi I am running .net framwork 2.0 on a server and after installing a web ap
that has crystal reports in it there is an error, cant find crystal report
dlls that are in the web.config file. Just wondering is there a crystal
report installation that needs to be done on the server? vs.net is not
installed on the server, just the framework.
thanks.

Yes, you need to install crystal reports on the server.

What you need to do is create a deployment package for your application and
specify crystal reports as a pre-requisite. That will install for you all
the DLLs necessary to run Crystal Reports

ok thanks for the information. I found the crystal report server installer
on the buisiness objects website but sounds easier to just create a
deployment package(with windows installer).
