 VS.NET Upgrade to 2003

I think I've screwed myself up.

I had VS.NET 2002 with CR 9.0
Installed VS.NET 2003 and entered in the wrong CR license information.  Now
whenever I drop a Crystal Report in my project I get "Invalid Keycode"
(that's the entire message).

I checked out Crystal's site, but changing the registry key (like they
instruct you to) does not work.  I still get the same error.  Anybody have
an idea on how to fix me?

Unfortunately, I don't have an "official" answer for you since I haven't
come across this. But you could just uninstall and reinstall the CR part.

 VS.NET Upgrade to 2003
You can get thru the upgrade.

When opening a "old" project , the "upgraded" .Net 2003
senses and upgrades Microsoft items very nicely.  

It leaves the Crystal Decisions, references, and the
distribution modules alone.

I had to manually delete the references (about the first
node under your project), and the distribution modules in
the install project.

Look for the appplicatoin deployment doc at crystal
for .NET.  It lists the MSM's needed.  PUll a fresh
copy.  I also found articles c2013175 (distribution),
c2013149 (references) in Crystal land to be of great help.

Note, you get a new "key" when you installed 2003.  You
have to use that one in the install project.

The distribution stuff is just about like before, just
new modules to be used.  Note, the references in your
project may work for you, but, will be tied back to the
older versions.

You can get there.  Keep hammering at it.  Brian's doc is
great stuff too!
