Adding Components to the Web Setup Project

This section adds the merge modules and output files used by the Web Site to the Web Setup project. However, if you plan to use the .msi Windows Installer file to deploy the Web Site, you do not need to add merge modules to the setup project. See Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 2.0 Windows Installer.

To add output files to the Web Setup Project

  1. In Solution Explorer, right-click WebSetup1, point to Add, and then click Project Output....

  2. In the Add Project Output Group dialog box, select Content Files.

    Leave the Configuration as (Active).

    If you are using the Windows Installer on the target machine, skip the next procedure and continue to Building and Deploying the Web Setup Project.

To add merge modules to the Web Setup Project

  1. In Solution Explorer, right-click WebSetup1, point to Add, and then click Merge Module....

  2. In the Add Modules dialog box, select the merge modules that are required for your Web Site.

For a description of which merge modules to use for different machines, see [Crystal Reports Merge Modules for Visual Studio 9.0 Beta 1](ms225386\(v=vs.90\).md).
  1. In the Solution Explorer, ensure that your selected merge modules were added under WebSetup1.
