Is it possible to deploy a vb.net application that uses the CR Viewer
to a Client PC that only has the Framework 2.0 installed?

The application was written in Vb.net 2003 using the 1.1 framework.

If not taking CrystalReoirt.NET components( Viewer) into account, then, yes,
it is most likely your .NET 1.1 app will run fine on a computer with .NET
2.0 only, unless your app uses some 1.1-only features (I do not know what
and how many these features exist, though). I say "most likely", means it is
not 100% guaranteed. To be sure, you have to do your test. If you cannot do
fully test, then ask your user to load .NET 1.1. After all, .NET framework
is designed by running side-by-side.

As for CR components, you must deploy them to the user computers, because it
is not part of .NET framework.

Hey Norman thanks for the reply here is what I did.

Developed vb.net app in 2003 using 1.1 framework.

Created MSI that included all the merge modules for crystal, including
the license key.

Deployed to client PC running 2.0 Framework.

I was getting Crystal engine errors.

I installed 1.1 framework and the app functioned correctly?
