This should provide you with the paths that InstallShield will check for merge modules, go ahead and place the downloaded file in one of the valid paths best suited for you.Ģ- Locate any CRRuntime_13_0_16_xxxxx.msm that you may find in the merge module locations seen above and remove them from the folder structure, zipping them up for potential future use.ģ- Close then re-launch Visual Studio and your project file so that the new merge module will be listed in the Redistributables view (VC User gdiPlus RTL X86 -) and will be discoverable by InstallShield. Since it sounds like you do not use the SAP merge modules, I would recommend the below steps:ġ- With your InstallShield project open use the "InstallShied LE" dropdown menu > options > Merge module options. You may already have this merge module, but just to be sure I added it here: (GDIPlus.msm) I did some digging around and was able to locate a gdiplus merge module that you should be able to use in your project and it can be downloaded using the link below. It looks as though the SAP merge module not only contains gdiplus.dll but may also be the first merge module that contained the file alphabetically (CRRuntime_13_0_16.msm) which may have led to selecting the first merge module found and not necessarily the best merge module for your needs. It appears that 13.2.dll has a dependency of gdiplus.dll, so when you are scanning for dependencies InstallShield will look for a merge module that contains the needed file and will add the merge module at build time by default. I took a look into the issue you were seeing and using the 13.2.dll you provided earlier in the thread I believe I may have found the issue.
#CRYSTAL REPORTS RUNTIME DOWNLOAD 13 TRIAL#
If you need our products installed on your side, you can download our trial version from. It's necessary to unzip them to the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Merge Modules" folder. If SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studiois not installed on the target computer, the redistributable package must be installed separately. NET applications developed with the SAP Crystal Reports SDK. You can download the SAP Crystal Reports merge modules from. The SAP Crystal Reports runtime redistributable package contains the assemblies needed to run. My version of InstallShield is 2013 Limited Edition. So, I would ask you to provide more evidence in this regard and help our customer resolve the issue. Please refer to the attachment for my setup project as well. You can find the video in my comment from January, 3rd at.

I captured a video to illustrate our efforts.

We tried to exclude the SAP Crystal Reports merge modules from a setup project, but this results in an error. I have attached the DevExpress.Data assembly and its csproj file to illustrate this. In fact, our DevExpress.Data assembly does not depend on the SAP Crystal Reports merge modules. This leads to errors when installing a built setup project on a client machine. InstallShield Limited Edition detects that the DevExpress.Data assembly depends on these modules. An issue occurs if SAP Crystal Reports merge modules are installed on a machine.
