Packaging Report Files (.mrt)

Hi

Is it possible to package the report files while deploying a project in visual studio 2005/2010 ?
My requirement is that all report files used in the project get copied while performing installation of the project on destination machine.
Right now i have to do it manually.

Thanks in advance!

Regards!

Hello,

You can save a report as .mrz file. See the attached image. Is this exactly what you need?

Thank you

thanks a lot for your reply but this is not what i want to do.
suppose in a project there are 20 report files (.mrt). when i add the setup and deployment project and build they are not bundled in the installer package.
when i install the project on destination/client machine i have to copy all the .mrt files to the path i am using while loading the report.
Hope i am able to explain !

Regards!

Naveen

Hello,

It is very hard to help you somehow. If report files are not included into the setup project, then the problem can be in settings of your setup project.

Thank you.

Hello naveenaqq,

it dependes on what kind of Setupbuilder you use for including Files in your Setup.

Here we use AdvancedInstaller, which can generate MSI files and for sure you can put your .MRT in the Setupproject.

Hope this helps

Cheers
