VB.net not recognising Crystal Reports

I have paid to have an application developed by an Indian freelancer who sent me the source pack then disappeared. He also sent me a SETUP pack which is 99% OK but contains a minor bug which I'd like to try to fix.

Before I attampted to fix the bug, I tried to familiarise myself with VB.net and Visual Studio. I build a setup file OK and the application works fine until I try to print reports at which point I get the error "Cannot find KeycodeV2.dll or invalid code".

When I click VB .Net > Help > About  the only installed product is vb.net - there is no mention of Crystal Reports.

My question is, How do I get Crystal Reports to link to VB.net (become an installed product)?

 

you can distribute crystal reports with vb.net in two ways
1. If you are using Visual Studio then during your setup and deployment you can add the CRRedist2005_x86.msi file to your setup file and distribute it as a single setup file .

2. The other way to install Crystal Reports on target machine is to create a setup file using Merge Modules and distribute it with your application or as a separate setup file.
