CR .Net WinForm Deployment Mayhems

I am about to throw my pc out the window!

I have spent hours (nearly 4) trying to get CR to work on any machine that doesnt have VS .Net installed

I have :

-Followed to the letter the instructions from Business Objects about CR Deployment (the file is cr_net_deployment.pdf or something like that).

-Had the following errors, cant seem to ever get a "clean run".

     -Couldnt find CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll.
     -Cant load file (its an embeded resource, how does it not find it).
     -and the Database login one (havent had that one for about 3 hours).

-I use a dataTable to pass the data to the report (just the 1 table).

-I downloaded the latest megre modules today also.

Is there some stupid reason whyi have been drving myself crazy?

Any links to "how to" deployment would be ok, ive googled my heart out, but may have missed something...

Help!

i had a look at msdn, and it says nothing about the additional modules needed for ADO.

I downloaded the new mergre modules yesterday too.

Correct me if im wrong, but is this what i have to add

Crystal_Managed2003.msm
Crystal_Database_Access2003.msm
Crystal_Database_Access2003_enu.msm
Crystal_RegWiz2003.msm              'with LicenseKey
'ADO .Net addtional files
VC_User_CRT71_RTL_X86_---.msm
VC_User_STL71_RTL_X86_--- .msm

I having all sorts of extra problems now, it seems that i have broken Visual Studio while uninstalling / reinstalling my app on my dev. PC.  I have uninstalled VS and going to re-install tonight.

If i need to add something else, let me know... this is killing me!

Thanks!
