Hello Jaya,

a common way to distribute CR in .NET is to use the Setup Wizard in the VS .NET environment.

This wizard offers several deployment techniques.

Depending on you specific requirements you will need additional runtime packages or Merge Modules to deploy your application.

These utilities can be downloaded [here|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm] (Software product: Crystal Reports / Product Version : .NET / Software Type : Utility).

Best regards

Falk

Jaya, with all due respect, you have made several post in these forums. Each time we ask that you supply more information as the info you do supply is sorely lacking in detail. I understand teat we are all busy these days, however by not providing the information you are prolonging the time to resolution of your issue. With each post, please ensure that you supply at least basic pertinent information:

1) Version of Crystal Reports used

2) Development language to be used

3) Version of development language to be used

4) Crystal Reports SDK to be used (COM, CR for .NET, RAS, BOE)

5) Possibly database to be used

6) Database connection type used

To you questions;

1) How can I distribute reports using Crystal Reports in VB.Net?

You must use msm or msi files. I can not provide any links as I do not know which version of CR you are using (thus prolonging time to resolution...)

2) what is windows functionality?

This question has no meaning. Please take the time to elaborate.

3) Where can I find FTP Scripts?

Please supply more details. What do you mean by FTP scripts? Do you mean that you are looking for sample web apps?

4) Any ideas or samples will be appreciated.

See my suggestions re more details above and throughout this note.

Hi Jaya,

I believe what you want to do is possibly use the feature called "Silent Install" For more info on how to please search our Notes section and "silent install"

These are all Microsofts command line options.
