VS2003 - Unable to import merge module crystalreports11_5_net.msm

I have a setup project in VS2003 that has the crystalreports11_5_net.msm as a detected dependency. When I had Crystal Reports 11 it compiled without errors but now that I have upgraded to Crystal Reports 11 Release 2 I am getting this copiler error:

Unable to import merge module crystalreports11_5_net.msm

I thought the problem might be that the keycode was lost so I checked but it is still there. I have searched for this error and I only get people asking the same thing but nobody answering, which is odd considering this is relatively old technology. It's VS2003 FFS!

The setup project is still created but when I try to install it I get Error 1334. The file 'Cdo32.dll.9B4FB6A6_19F4_11D3_B324_00A0C9DA500E' cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in cabinet file. This bit is obvious since if it can't include the merge module it surely won't be able to find its files.

Any ideas other than going back to CR 11? I can't do that so it's not a possibility.

Crystal Reports 11 Release 2 is made for .Net Framework 2.0. That was the root of the problem. I don't know exactly how this happens but the mix of frameworks and CR versions was giving me grief.

In the end I ported all of my apps (not just some of them as initially intended) to .Net 2.0 with the CR11-R2 and now it's all working again. I just had to make sure that my setups where usingcrystalreports11_5_net_2005.msm instead ofcrystalreports11_5_net.msm.
