hi hakl,
if the application is missing some dlls, it looks in different places to try
and find them. these are done in order, (but i forget that exact order).
it's called probing. it looks in the application base path, in the /bin
folder, in the global assembly cache, and a few others.
have you tried placing all those Crystal reports dlls in the application
folder with the .exe? my guess is this should work, and those machines
without the DLLs in their globaly assembly cache should download them
automatically. if not, it might be worth posting the question again now
that we know exactly where the breakdown is.
