CR XIR2 merge module confusion

[anders_gustafsson]

Hi!

I am converting a C++/MFC app built in VS 2005 from RDC to CR .NET and is almost there. I have a question about what merge modules to include in the installer? The app only uses predefined reports. When I look in InstallShield, I see:

cr115_rdc_runtime

cr115_rdc_reportengine

cr115_rdc_license

cr115_rdc_designtime

cr115_NET_2005

Am I right in assuming that I either use cr115_NET_2005 or the other four?

If you are referencing CR assemblies of version 11.2.x, then use

MSM:

https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100000634042010E/crxir2sp6_net_mm.zip

and build your own deployment package in InstallShield.

Or use the MSI:

https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100000633302010E/crxir2sp6_net_si.zip

If your references are to CR 10.5, then use one of the following (depending on 32 \ 64 bit, MSM or MSI);

CRRedist2008_ia64.msi

https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006255262008E/CRRedist2008_ia64.zip

CRRedist2008_x64.msi

https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006255272008E/CRRedist2008_x64.zip

CRRedist2008_x86.msi

The app uses CR XI R2 and is 32-bit, so that means https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100000634042010E/crxir2sp6_net_mm.zip I guess

So that ZIP contains three MSMs. Do I use all or just one?

Use CrystalReports11_5_maps.msm only if youare using the mapping feature of CR

CrystalReports11_5_NET.msm is for framework 1.1 (.NET 2003)

CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm is for framework 2.0 (.NET 2005)

Perfect!! Thanks!!

When done, I will try to edit my notes on the RDC->NET conversion and post here. It might help someone else, same as I have been helpd by these forums.
