推荐答案

有一个在你的程序文件夹，名为微软的Visual Studio 9.0 Crystal报告 CRRedist IA64文件夹中。在那里，你会发现再发行组件包。就在这个文件添加到您的安装项目 - 用户定义的操作 - 并安装

There is a folder called Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0Crystal ReportsCRRedistIA64 in your Programs folder. There you will find a redistributable package. Just add this file to your setup project - user defined actions - and install it.

编辑：正如你所说setupProject CustomActions只允许EXE / DLL文件

edit: As you mentioned setupProject CustomActions only allows exe/dll files

我找到了另一种解决办法。希望这那些满足您的需求。

I found another solution. Hope this ones satisfies your needs.

添加mergeModul您setupProject（右键单击解决方案资源管理器中setupProject，加mergeModul）。名为C的文件夹： Program Files文件（x86）的 Common Files文件合并模块会自动显示出来。在那里，你可以找到一个名为CrystallReportsRedistxxx.msm文件。添加到您的项目，并应安装了。

Add a mergeModul to your setupProject (right-click solution explorer on setupProject, add mergeModul). A folder called C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesMerge Modules should automatically show up. There you may find a file called CrystallReportsRedistxxx.msm. Add this to your project and it should install too.

要找到合适的MergeModul为您的版本看看： BusinessObjects_CrystallReports
