Distributing the Automation Server with Visual Basic Applications

When you finish designing your application and decide to distribute it to your users, you must make sure that the Crystal Report Engine Automation Server is distributed with it. In addition, you must make sure the automation server gets registered on your users' systems. The easiest way to do this is to use the Application Setup Wizard installed with Visual Basic.

This Wizard leads you through the process of designing a setup application for your project. In addition, the Setup Wizard detects any ActiveX components included in your project and leads you through the process of adding code to the setup application to include the required files and register the components on a user's machine.

For more information about files that need to be distributed with Crystal Report Engine applications, refer to License Manager Help (License.hlp).
