The CR DLL required by your application will be included and installed with your application.
The .rpt will not automatically be recognized. You have to manually add them. During the packaging, there is an option for this.

Copy all the .rpt files (which are your reports) with the application.
There is a step, if you want to, in the PDW that allow you to add any files (like .rpt) to the package so that these files will be installed at the same time that the application will be.

«u mean that i have to copy the crystal rpt file

These files are not compiled into the application!
«and what u mean by the application? »
YOUR application. Didn't you compile a .exe?
What did you use to build your setup package? In that tool, you have a step to manually add .rpt files.

When you call your report from your VB application, how do you call it? You should set your report file name to app.path & "\monthly.rpt"
It will do all the work for you. Just make sure that in your program you don't have any paths hardcoded, because they might not exist on the other pc.
If you use app.path instead and put all your data and reports under the same directory as your forms, it sure work fine.
This way you can install the program on another computer without having problems with paths and stuff.
