Hi Goh,

Thank you for posting.

Yes, you're right that .net framework 2.0 does not support crystal report.
In order to enable your application which uses crystal report viewer to run
on a client pc, you should install Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 2.0
component in the client pc first.

The installation file of the component is CRRedist2005_x86.msi. You could
find the file in the VS setup path on your machine. For example, the path
of the file on my machine is "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\CrystalReports"

FYI, if you create a setup project for your application to deploy the
program, you could include the Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 2.0
component in the setup project. To do this, right-click the setup project
in Solution Explorer and select Properties command. In the project property
pages, click the Prerequisites button. In the prerequsites window, check
the checkbox of Create setup program to install prerequsite components and
check the checkbox of Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 2.0 in the Choose
which prerequisites to install listbox. Then press the OK button.

Hope this helps.
If you have anything unclear, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu
