crystal report integration issue on setup and deployment

问题

I have a application with lot of reports using crystal reports.Now I want to setup and deploy my Project using visual studio setup wizard.But my problem is I want to install the application on another computer which has not installed the crystal report.The application run perfectly until it reaches the report part,it throw an error 'The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' throw an exception'.

How do I reference crystal report dependencies on my setup project any body have idea ?

To this You need to instal crystal report run time engine in that machine. In VS2010 they separated crystal reports from visual studio. So this problem is coming.
