How to redistribute a VB 6 application using Crystal Reports?

Assuming the target system has Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008, how can I distribute a VB 6 application that can be bypassed along with the report file? Simply moving the executable and report file does not work. I want to know how to create a redistributable package. We use CR10.

My suggestion is to create an installer that automatically installs the application executable and all its dependencies (including Crystal Reports runtime libraries) on your target computers.

You can use the Package and Deployment Wizard that ships with Visual Basic 6, but I personally would not recommend it.

I especially love Inno Setup , which is a free installer with a simple, intuitive interface to various open source commercial applications. It is easy to use to install VB 6 applications. See this Knowledge Base article for a list of DLLs that you must include as part of the VB runtime, as well as specific instructions for changing the script installer accordingly.

As explained in this link, you need to deploy the Crystal Reports runtime:
