Moving Crystal DLL’s from GAC to BIN

To ease deployment the following DLL’s have been moved as a BIN reference rather than GAC:

• CRVsPackageLib
• CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
• CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework
• CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore
• CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.PluginManager
• CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc
• CrystalDecisions.ReportSource
• CrystalDecisions.Shared
• CrystalDecisions.Web

All are version 10.2.3600. These all stand to be removed completely if Reporting Services kicks off.

To remove the original references from the GAC involved deleting the folders from C:\Windows\Assembly\ these where located across both GAC_MSIL and GAC folders.

These could only be deleted from the command line and weren’t even visable from windows explorer.

VS2005 and IIS where shut down to achieve this.
