06/19/2007

The merge modules that are used in the deployment process vary across the different versions of Crystal Reports and Visual Studio. The following table outlines the merge modules that are needed for each software configuration.

Depending on your version of Crystal Reports or Visual Studio, these merge modules may be pre-installed on your machine in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules. If the merge modules are not pre-installed, download them from the Business Objects website and save the files to your machine in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules.

Note

To download the latest version of the merge modules, visit the Business Objects website: .

Note

The addition of more merge modules than specified in the scenarios may cause deployment problems.
