Thank you!

Which edition of InstallShield is needed in order to precompile (ngen.exe) .NET assemblies? Is it transparent to the user?

Thank you!

Thanks for the reply, however you did not answer the first question. You say InstallShield 2018 Lite is successor of InstallShield Limited Edition. Does that mean it has all of the same features and capability?

Thanks, I'll look into that.

Thanks for the reply and looking into this. It's not that I don't use the SAP Merge Modules, I just don't use them often. Removing/adding the CRRuntime modules from the folder is what I have been doing. The thing is remembering to add/remove them as needed before a build. I am guessing that gdipluss.dll is also included in the DevExpress dll's as it is not in the merge module folder and everything works fine. It would be great if there was a better solution but, at least we now know just what is happening.

This thread is nearly 4 years old and the problem still persists. How about an update? https://community.flexerasoftware.com/showthread.php?213668-SAP-Crystal-Reports-Runtime-included-in-setup-when-not-used-in-project&highlight=

A similar problem exist with Microsoft Visual Studio. The simplest solution seems to be creating environment variables to replace some of the long paths. It worked for me. Here is the thread http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/0902665a-fefe-47f0-9bfe-904a57fdd0c6/visual-studio-2012-and-2010-both-fail-with-exception-has-been-thrown-by-the-target-of-an?forum=vssetup

I have received a reply from DevExpress. They have duplicated the problem and confirmed that their assembly does not require CR references, so it seems that the problem is totally on the InstallShield side. Here is the DevExpress thread https://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/Question/Details/Q559017

Thanks for the reply. I have found some additional information which may be helpful. I installed VS2013 and InstallShield LE on a Win 7 VM. Could not install CR as it requires VS2010 or VS2012. Took the same solution I had mentioned in my original post and built it - no problem, did not include CR. Added the CR merge modules to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Merge Modules. Note, none were checked to include. Rebuilt the solution and it adds the SAP Crystal Reports runtime. So, it seems that simply the presence of the CR Merge Modules is a factor. The merge modules were downloaded from https://global.sap.com/campaign/ne/free_trial/crystal_reports_visual_studio/wty_int_crvs.epx?Level=1&FormResultID=3c08000b-356a-4cc7-a022-caef84938ed6&ContinueURL=%2fcampaign%2fne%2ffree_trial%2fcrystal_reports_visual_studio%2findex.epx%3furl_id%3dtext-na-sapcom-crvs-trial-landing%26kNtBzmUK9zU%3d1&kNtBzmUK9zU=1 Directly under the line: Merge module runtime redistribution packages (no IDE integration)

I have built a small VS 2013 demo solution containing a simple (hello world) winforms project and an ISLE setup project. In the ISLE setup project I include .NET Framework 4.0 and Windows Installer 4.5. The simple setup builds and works fine. Once I add a DevExpress XtraGrid to the project's only form and rebuild the solution, the setup includes 'SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4'. The log indicates that is a dependency of component 'WindowsApplication1.Primary_output'. If I remove the XtraGrid and all DevExpress references from the main project, the SAP runtime is not included in the setup. So, the question is, why does ISLE include the SAP runtime when it is not used? And how do I prevent it? I do have SAP Crystal Reports, version for Microsoft Visual Studio installed on my dev machine, for use in other projects.

Thanks for the reply. I've done some digging. The real issue is not the error. That is caused by not having the other prerequisites included in the setup that CR runtime requires. The big problem is that CR runtime is included in my project, even though I am not using any CR objects. To avoid confusion, I think it best that I start a new thread isolating that problem.

Using VS2013 & InstallShield Limited Edition I have built a small demo Winforms project that requires .NET Framework 4.0. In my setup package I have checked .NET 4.0 Full Package as a requirement and redistributables of .NET Framework 4.0 (web download) and Windows Installer 4.5 Update for Windows XP SP3 and later (x86). Under SingleImage > Setup.exe, I had set InstallShield Prerequisites Location to 'Follow Individual Selections'. The setup package worked fine on a Windows XP clean VM. However, I wanted everything contained within the Setup.exe, so I wouldn't need to distribute the ISSetupPrerequisites folder. I changed Prerequisites Location to 'Extract From Setup.exe'. Now when I try to install on the Windows XP clean VM, I receive the error 1904, Module C:\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reprots for .NET Framework 4.0...\reportrendered.dll Failed to Register. HRESULT -2147010895. The thing is that neither my project, or setup use or reference any Crystal Reports objects. Could anyone offer an explanation and/or solution?

Thanks Chaitra, I think I have a handle on it now. Needed to change the Product Code and nothing else.
