Getting an Error 1904.Module error when installing a VB developed application that uses Crystal Reports dll

I have an application developed in VB6 that uses Crystal Reports 10.  Everything has worked fine for a year now, but recently I started getting the following error during installation:

Error 1904.Module C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.5\bin\ReportRenderer.dll failed to register. HRESULT -2147319780

The only difference I can think of is that the machine I am installing onto recently had Office 2000 uninstalled and Office 2003 installed in its place.  Could that be creating the problem.  Any ideas as to how to resolve it?

Thanks

I can only see that being a potential problem if you're reporting off an Access database (or otherwise using the MS Jet DB Engine).  I don't know for sure but I suspect that the Office upgrade may change the MDAC package installed on the machine.

Have you tried to manually register the dll?

Thanks for the reply, frodoman.  You are correct, I am using an Access 2000 database.  I have included merge modules for it.  Is there something else I need to include when I create the setup.exe that will remove this problem?
