 Redistributing Crystal 8.5 to Windows 98 (first edition)

My issue is regarding distruibuting Crystal 8.5 to Windows 98 (first
edition).

The scenario we have now is that installation completes unhindered but the
following messages appear when a user try's to view a report in the Crystal
Viewer:

1. Crystal Reports: Database Error; Can not initialize OLE

2. Crystal Reports: Database Error; Can not create DAO DBEngine

3. Crystal Reports: Database Error; Error opening file. File could not be
opened "L0_Data", at file location "L0_Data"

4. Crystal Report Viewer: Error detected by database DLL

As a note, when a full installation of Crystal 8.5 Developer / Access 2000
is installed the report and Crystal Viewer open without a problem. This led
me to believe that further dependency files were missing, however after
adding numerous files and merge modules to the installation package I was
unable to rectify the problem.

The installation package works fine with Windows 2000.

My installation package contains the following files:

    p2bdao.dll p2irdao.dll p2ctdao.dll dao350.dll.

If you any ideas of how to solve these problems it would be very
appreciated.

Regards Jason

Try download MDAC from microsoft and install or upgrade it on the client
machine. The error message directly point that there is a problem with Data
access layer, ie. OLEDB, ODBC etc.

Hope this might help.

No, I have already tried both MDAC 2.5 and 2.7 without any joy.

See the following

http://support.crystaldecisions.com/library/kbase/articles/c2008905.asp

For Active Data, which includes DAO, you will need to distribute p2smon.dll
and dependency files Msvcirt.dll, Msvcp60.dll, Msvcrt.dll
