Runtime MSM or MSI

[Former Member]

The downloads page for Crystal Reports | XI Release 2 | * (at https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm) shows three SP5 downloads:

Crystal Reports XI Release 2 - SP 5 .NET Merge Modules

Crystal Reports XI Release 2 SP 5 - .NET Server Install

Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Service Pack 5 - Windows

What we need is the runtime MSM or MSI that contains the Crystal Report Viewer CRViewer.dll file (version 11.5.11.1470) which is normally installed at C:\Program Files\Business Objects\common\3.5\crystalreportviewers115\ActiveXControls.

If anyone can point me to that redistributable/utility?

Thanks!

you'll want the full CR SP5 install (third option) since the ActiveX viewer is not part of the .NET runtime.

That was not my question. The service pack is for applying to a computer with Crystal installed on it. I need the MSM or MSI for end user workstations that will run an application that uses the Crystal Reports Viewer.

Hi,

Then install the second option.

The Wiki is [here|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsforVisualStudio.NETRuntimeDistribution-Versions9.1to12.0] is currently the best resource for CR.NET Runtime information.

Sincerely,

Amit

ah.. so its an RDC application then?

For that you will need the RDC merge modules which are not currently available for SP5, but should be shortly.

Yes, we are using the RDC. Do you know what "shortly" means? Is there a list of components and registry settings somewhere so that I can manually configure an installer project?

There is no list for manual deployment.

We do not know when the merge modules will be available but typically they turn them around quickly.
