    How to Distribute & Register Stupid Crystal Report Crystl32.OCX ?

    Hi
    I'm really getting furious about distributing a program that uses crystal
    report bcoz I always met the failure of not successfully registering Crystal32.OCX on client site. Even if I use regsvr32.exe to register it, there would be an error message prompted. I don't like to use any Setup Wizard application to create a setup program for my executable files, I just simply find out all the required DLLs and OCXs, and gather them under the same folder where my little executable file locates. But, the use of disgusting Crystal Report had destroyed the way I'd been used to VB, even though I'd tried for hundred methods of registering the Crystl32.OCX manually, I still met the failure. The documentation on registering Crystal Report Engine and OCXs are TERRIBLY POOR, USELESS, especially info about MANUALLY REGISTERING OCXs and DLLS on CLIENT SITE. Never let us know what the required DLLS and OCXS are, and the Procedure of Registering them, just simply tell the developer to run the Application Setup Wizard (VB5) which would automatically find out all the required files and info of registration location, if I don't want to run the
    Setup Wizard, how can I register those Giant Crystal Report OCXs and DLLS ?
    I need the Procedures in Detail, not those helpless craps, PLEASE, Do U HEAR THIS, Crystal Report Support Personnel ? REPEAT AGAIN, I WANT TO "MANUALLY", I mean "MANUALLY" REGISTER THE CRYSTAL REPORT CRYSTL32.OCX ON CLIENT SITE, THIS'S
    DEFINITELY THE MOST DISGUSTING THIRD PARTY OCX I'd HAD EVER MET. My Project was postponed just bcoz of this UGLY CRYSTL32.OCX, DO U KNOW THAT ?

    Undoubtedly, Crystal Report Is FAIRLY SIMPLE TO USE, BUT IT'S EVEN FAIRLY TROUBLESOME TO DISTRIBUTE AND REGISTER THOSE GIANT DLLS and OCXS, I totally regret after using Crystal Report, I'd BEEN TRAPPED, and don't know how to get out of this trap at the moment.

    Sorry but it's not truth. I'm not working for SeagateSoftware but why you don't try support of crystal report and then post your problem here. As I mention before somewhere in this forum seagate software have really good support so why don't try it ?
    I solve some problem (CR bugs) and I don't think that CR is without bugs but it's very good documented.
    What about correct order of objects are registered?

    I am impressed some else is working with local dependencies!

    I am having some problems with certain members that the system may use. For example, 'oleaut32.dll' . I am compiling under VB 6 and my exe requires the latest version. No problem, keep the right one in the local folder, NOT. This won't work, the one in the system dir is still the one being called. HOW CAN I GET AROUND THIS, can you explain. PLEASE !
