title: ASP.NET Crystal Reports without installation (DLLs only)?
body: <p>This question has probably been asked before. If it has, please add the link below and close my question.</p>
  
  <p>I'm writing an ASP.NET 2.0 website where I run a crystal report, export it, and display the export to the user (note: I am NOT using the viewer control). So all I need to be able to do is load the report, set its datasource, edit the formulas/parameters, and run to an export file. Problem is, these crystal reports were written in a newer version than the one I have (the reports are crystal 11, I'm on crystal for VS2005).</p>
  
  <p>I'm wondering if I can just grab some crystal 11 DLLs and reference them in my website rather than referencing the GAC DLLs or installing crystal on the deployment server. Is this possible?</p>
  
  <p>I've heard of one guy doing it here <a href="http://forums.asp.net/post/585678.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://forums.asp.net/post/585678.aspx</a>.</p>
  
  <p>When I tried, it started to complain about COM objects... Thanks!</p>
  
  <p>(Edit: By the way, where are the legacy runtime downloads on SAP's website? I could only find the latest version...)</p>
