Crystal Reports w/ VS.NET provides a series of merge
modules that hold all the dlls and license key
information. The easiest thing to do is create an
installer project and include those merge modules. You
can run the .MSI to install the crystal runtime on your
target computers.

The merge modules you need are:
1. Database_Access_XXX.msm (this one is localized for
each language so use the appropriate one. For US English
it is Database_Access_enu.msm)
2. Manaaged.msm
3. regwiz.msm

You should be able to find these in the \Program
Files\Common Files\Merge Modules directory on any machine
that has VS.NET w/ Crystal Reports installed.

HTH
