Like many people I am trying to use the CRforVS_mergemodules_13_0_10.zip merge modules in InstallShield LE.
I have spent the past two days reading article after article with still not gaining a full understanding of how to accomplish the task at hand which is creating a single .MSI which will install the Crystal Reports Runtime.
I have read in an official document from CR called CR Deployment using .Net Merge Modules.doc. This document states that the two prerequisites are Microsoft_VC80_ATL_x86.msm and policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_ATL_x86.msm.
Are these still the two dependencies for the newest version as well?
Do these need to be used or would a newer version of the VC++ runtime work as well?
I have added these are redistributables to my project along the Crystal merge modules.
From what I understand this is because the C++ run-times are not installed before Crystals merge modules.
Before investigating the merge module order, I wanted to verfiy the correct I had the correct dependencies.
My whole goal is to install the runtime from within my .MSI created with InstallShield LE in a seemless manner so as the user does not need to run an additional installation for the crystal reports runtime.
Thanks for any help in advance.
