Re: [WiX-users] Crystal Reports modules not registering files
Pedro, I'm not sure where (or if) there is a runtime MSI for the original XI release. There is for XI R2 (typically in C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11.5\Samples\en\CR .NET\.NET 2 Runtime Setup\CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msi for the .NET 2.0 version. There may be something in a similar location for the original XI release) My experience has been that new versions generally support older report files. They also add bulk to the report runtime footprint. :-( Since CR 2008 is so new, I personally am not planning on migrating to it at this time - it's just too close to release time to get an acceptable quantity of testing performed. Hope this helps, Regards, Richard -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pedro Ferreira Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2007 3:38 PM To: Foster, Richard - PAL Cc: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Crystal Reports modules not registering files Hello Richard, thank you for your help.

Re: [WiX-users] Crystal Reports modules not registering files
Hello again. I had the opportunity to test this on a virtual machine, and including the SelfRegModules action solved the problem. Now it seems that everything is being registered. About the 2008 runtime msi. It doesn't work for me because we're using the activex viewer from crystal XI and its not present in this version. Maybe we should upgrade to Crystal 12 to take advantage of the new runtime msi, but for now I think I have to stick with these merge modules. Thanks again for your help Richard.

Re: [WiX-users] Crystal Reports modules not registering files
Pedro, My first recommendation would be to use a bootstrapper and the Crystal reports runtime MSI file instead of the merge modules. The merge modules are IMHO almost useless, not to mention the fact that if you use WiX 3 you'll have to turn off verification because the CR merge modules have so many things that cause ICE warnings. If that is not an option for you, the most likely reason for the problem is that you don't have all the necessary actions in your InstallExecuteSequence. Specifically, at least according to comments in some code I used before switching away from the merge modules, you will need to include the SelfRegModules and SelfUnregModules actions. Good luck!
