Hello, I Made a Program With VB.Net 2010 With a MS Access 2007 Database.
I Used a Crystal Report in My Program. The Program is Working Fine But When I Take The Program To Another Computer It Works Fine and Saves Data and View Them But When I Click On The Button That Opens Form With The Crystal Report Viewer The Following Error Message Appears:

Unhandled exception has occured in your aplication.If you click continue ,the aplication will ignore this error and attempt to continue.If you click quit ,the aplication will close immediately.

An error occurred creating the form.See exeption .InnerException for details.The error is : Could not load file or assembly 'crystalDecisions.windows.form, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture =neutral,PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies.The system cannot find the file specified.

Is There Anything I Should Do Or Install On The Other Computer For The Crystal Report To Work.

Please Help Me With This, and Thanks For All Help.

Yes you need to install the Crystal Report runtime.

What do you mean "how can you install"? You install it the exact same way you do anything else.

How are you installing the program on another computer? Do you use ClickOnce or have a setup project or third-party installer? Or are you just copying the exe and pasting it on another machine? The error message says it "Cannot find the file specified." so it is likely unable to find the .rpt file. Where are you saving this file? How are you referencing the path it in your code? Perhaps that path does not exist on the second machine?

The new machine doesn't need visual studio, but it DOES need the crystal report runtime. You can manually install it or you can create a setup project and make it a prerequisite so that it will always install before your exe installs. See this link for info: http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Deploying+Crystal+Reports+for+Visual+Studio+2010+Runtime
