 CR8.5 deployment problem ???

I need help on the deployment area for CR 8.5.
I'm new with CR8.5 and using it with VB6 with SP5.
I wrote a very simple application just add the Crystal Report control
component to a project. I generate the application for deployment. Got the
setup files and when I try to deploy it

On a windows 98se computer the system copys the files & prompt a restart. I
did that and the system cam out wiht a illegal operation in the explorer and
the whole system unable to start.

On a windows 2000 computer the deployment keep stopping at msvcrt.dll. It
look like it cannot update this file. and not able to deploy.

I'm not using the RDC, the application uses the OCX components. (Just
migrate from CR 4.6)

Please enlighten me.

Just had this prob,  get the msvcrt.dll of a win 98 machine and put in the
redist directory of the PDW program, so that the package builds with the old
version. (not the version in windows\system) The new version on XP machines
is incompatible with win98.  If the package has an old version it will never
attempt to update the users file.

To fix the win98 machine boot in with a boot disk and replace this file with
the old win 98 version.

Good Luck

Great, I use this method to solve 1 problem. (On W2k it is OK)

But I use the same package to install on a w98se I have another problem.
During the installation the message :

" An error occurred while registering the file
'c:\windows\system\exportmodeller.dll"
" An error occurred while registering the file
'c:\windows\system\crtslv.dll"
" An error occurred while registering the file
'c:\windows\system\crystal32.ocx"

Which I believe that this are some of the important components.

One problem lead to another ..... Is CR 85 stable ??

I have had the same problem before when I was doing it but I have fixed it.
I thought these files were supposed to install to c:\program
files\commonfiles ...etc  (But I use version 9 so this might be different.)
It is possible that the program is somehow missing some of the registry
information.  Although you do not normally need to specifically select these
files for installation.

Sorry I cant remember the exact solution I used.  but check that you have
installed all of the Crytsal Reports components (ie you should have done a
full install when you installed it.)

I also had a problem because in VB's Tools/References i had selected
"Crystal Reports 9 ActiveX Designer Design and Runtime" intead of "Crytsal
Reports 9 ActiveX Designer Runtime Library".  I also have "Crystal Report
Viewer Control 9" selected.  Im not sure what the difference is between
these, but maybe its worth checking.

Hmm if this doesnt help, i guess you had better wait for someone who knows a
little more about the subject.  Let us know in any case.

Good Luck

Adam
