Hi all,
I have developed a Windows application with VS.NET 2003.
The application uses Crystal Report.
When I deploy on a client pc when VS.NET is not installed I gave
always the same known error "cannot find keycodev2.dll, or invalid
keycode".

I include in my project the following merge modules :
regwiz.msm
Crystal_Database_Access2003.msm
Crystal_Database_Access2003_enu.msm
crystal_managed2003.msm (included automatically by VS)
VC_CRT.msm
VC_STL.msm

I also set the license key found in the help of VS in the merge module
regwiz.msm.

With VS.NET 2002 I never found all this problems ...
... do I forget something ???

Please, someone help me ...

Thanks

yom

Can you be a bit more specific?   What OS is your client PC running and
does it have the 1.1 FW already installed?

Excuse me ... you have all the resons ...
I will try to be more specific.

I have developed my application with VS.NET 2002. With that version, I
deployed on client running W2K, W98 and WXP and all worked fine.
I've then upgraded my VS.NET to 2003 and imported the old project.
The *.msm I have mentioned in my previous posting are the merge
modules required from Crystal Report deployng ...

I've fixed the problem of the message "cannot find keycodev2.dll, or
invalid keycode": I've just miss to substitute the file regwiz.msm
with the new version coming with VS.NET 2003.

Now I've another problem ... when I deploy on a W98 machine (after
installing Framework 1.1) I gave the error "Load Report Failed"
opening any report ...

I found an article (http://support.crystaldecisions.com/library/kbase/articles/c2011640.asp)
where is shown a way to solve the problem ...
... in according to this paper, it's caused by a wrong version of the
file ATL.dll ...

On my client the version of ATL.dll is 3.0.8449 (the right one) but my
application doesn't work ...

I hope i've been more clear this time ... new post, new question ...
:-)

Thanks
