[Deployment] crystalreportviewers115 on .NET 2.0 web server

[former_member183781]

We have deployed the BOE .NET SDK sample applications on our .NET 2.0 web server.

The sample applications are referencing objects under the relative path -

u201C\aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727\crystalreportviewers115u201D

....and no such folders exist by default.

We are currently doing a manual copy the crystalreportviewers115 files into each web site on the server (we donu2019t use virtual directories) - which will mean a lot of overhead in the real-world when we apply BOE service packs to our infrastructure.

Is there a better way to configure the web server to find these crystalreportviewers115 files in a common (and preferably updatable) location.

Thanks in advance for the help!

We came up with a work-around on the IIS web servers.

A central folder was created to contain the Crystal Viewer code.

A virtual directory named aspnet_client was created under web applications that need crystal report feature.

The aspnet_client points to the central folder.

Not the answer we were hoping for...Thanks!

If you use default web site, you should not need to copy the u201Caspnet_clientsystem_web2_0_50727crystalreportviewers115u201D.

If you use custom web site, you do need to do the manual copy. For more info, please see the following link where you will find two attached White Papers discussing the issue:
