Invalid Export dll using Crystal 8.5 under Terminal Server

Using Crystal Reports 8.5 with my VB6 SP2 application under Microsoft Terminal Server I get the following error when I save a report to disc with data:
"Error in file C:\Myfilename.rpt Invalid Export dll or Export format."

It is being saved as a crystal report file:
CrystalReport1.Destination = crptToFile
CrystalReport1.PrintFileName = myfilename.rpt
CrystalReport1.PrintFileType = crptCrystal
CrystalReport1.PrinterName = Trim(Printer.DeviceName)
CrystalReport1.PrinterDriver = Printer.DriverName
result = CrystalReport1.PrintReport

This works perfectly under Windows XP and on Windows Server 2003, but for PCs or terminals dialing into the 2003 server computer using Microsoft Terminal Server it gives the above error. Does anyone know what is missing?

I've just solved it!
Under normal use the files are in windows/crystal.
Under TS, it looks in %userprofile%/Windows/crystal.

Create the folder under the profile, copy the DLLs and hey presto!

I did answer the question myself in the end as above so was unsure how to close it:
