Craig,
>That violates your license agreement. You do not have a license to use or distribute the runtime libraries.
I don't think that is correct. Since the runtime licence is royalty free, you're free to use them as would anyone else who installs the runtime licences from any application that distributes them.
The thing about distribution, I don't know for sure. The runtime libraries are free to download from the installshield site, Though I can imagine there is a clause that you may not distribute them when you don't own the developers licence. Anyway, I failed to find some detailed info about this in the licence agreement.

>>It's strange that in fact you'll not
have to buy the developers version. Since the OCX and dlls you need are royalty free. You can develop your report in the standard version. Install the royalty free runtime requirements and you're up and running. The runtimes are available from
www.installshield.com as MSM for installshield express version 3.53.

>>I've gotten myself in a strange situation where I got an evaluation version of CR 8.5 developer and bought the professional edition. I did not feel like a full reinstall so I just entered the keycode from my proffessional version in to the evaluation version and all source files were available for distribution. I did not know they shouldn't until I asked seagate for some support and the got a reply that these should not be available from the professional version. They argued that I only could upgrade to the developers version, but could not get a refund for the professional version upgrade, though I bought it only two months ago. I decided to leave it this way, though I still got some nasty feelings about this one.

>>>Yes, you need Developer edition. CR standard does not ship with the necessary controls. You can get an upgrade to the Developer Edition.
