ActiveReports 6 Online Help
Deploy the End User Report Designer (Pro Edition)

 

To deploy a solution that includes the Designer control (Professional Edition only), you must include the version of the Microsoft Rich Text Edit Control DLL that is installed with ActiveReports in a location like this: C:\Program Files\Common Files\GrapeCity\ActiveReports 6\riched20.dll (on a 64-bit Windows operating system, a location is like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\GrapeCity\ActiveReports 6\riched20.dll).

Caution: If you do not deploy Product version 4 (File version 5.40.11.2210) or higher of riched20.dll with the Designer, the user might have a version that is unable to render RTF tables correctly in edit mode of the RichText control.

Place this file in the same directory as the ActiveReports assemblies.

To deploy riched20.dll

  1. Open the Registry Editor.
  2. Expand the tree view to My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GrapeCity\ActiveReports 6.
  3. Right-click in the pane to the right and select New, then String Value.
  4. Name the new String Value RtfPath.
  5. Double-click RtfPath, and enter the path to the newer version of riched20.dll.

Once you have finished these steps, you can deploy your Designer application like any other Windows Application.
