Hi there! sorry i did not describe the issue, I did not even realize it. My issue is, in our program, we view an external crystal report(Crystal XI) inside a crystal viewer. The crystal viewer has an export button on it, if we allow it, that you can export to multiple formats. When i click the export to PDF button, type in my file name and click export....my program becomes instantly unresponsive and have to force close the program through task manager. I have narrowed it down to exporting to PDF and a few other formats. There is no error message, no nothing except my program goes grey and says, PROGRAM NOT RESPONDING, go to the internet for help. If i do not use the export functionality...printing/viewing works like a charm.
As a note, before i left from work i just randomly went and downloaded the 13_0_14 runtime and put that into my installer to see if by happen stance that would take care of it. i built the installer, installed the program, and quickly ran 2 test...one as a .rpt export and the other as .pdf export...and it seemed to work, i'll fill this discussion in some more tomorrow after extensive testing.
Also, i was already installing the VC++ 2005 Redistributable before hand. Without that piece, I was never even able to view the report. It just failed giving me an error message of something, cant remember exactly. This is just reference for anyone else that is reading this for answers.
Thanks again!
Josh
