Crystal Report app deployment

[Suzi167]

Hello,

I created a VS 2008 C# MVC application which uses CrystalReportViewer to display a report. All the .dll files I used are either version 12.0.2000 or 12.0.1100.

The application works well on my localhost and the dev environment.
When I deployed it (on a vista virtual machine with IIS 7.0) I ran two files :

1) CRRuntime_12_2_mlb.msi
2) CRRedist2008_x86.msi

Still when I open the viewer to view a report all I see is an empty view( the view only contains the CrystalReportViewer so obviously something is not working with the viewer on the deployment machine)



Can anyone give me clear steps on how to deploy a web app with CrystalReportViewer???
I looked around and could not find a clear instruictions.....just seems that everyone tries stuff until it works.

Thanks very much in advance

I have a webapp with a CrystalReportViewer whichs works fine. I simply used the 'publish' functionality of Visual Studio.

In what way did you deploy your website?

I deployed it the same way with the publish but for the reports to work you must have run a Crystal run time on the machine where you installed your application.

Which run time did you install?

Thanks

Both x64 and x84 version. But I noticed you are using CR12. I used the CR that ships with Visual Studio, which is CR10.

But if you don't get any error, I suppose that the runtime is installed correctly. Why the Report viewer stays blank? I have no idea.
