deploy Crystal report on client machine just by copying of rquired DLL?

Question

Hello every one We are using CR 2010 for .net and in client side we need just CR reportviewr Are there any walkthroughs that copy crystalreport dll files in Bin directory and copy these file in client machine, run time msi file is huge and we are looking for a way to copy and register just needed dlls (or COM) by hand (programmatically). Is it possible?

Any idea is helpful.

Thanks a lot.

Is it possible... I'm sure. In reality, though, no. It's like asking what's needed in a .Net install. Sure you could pick and choose, but why bother? SAP has made it very easy to install Crystal now with their MSI installs. I've worked with Crystal for over 15 years, and it's NEVER been this easy and consistent.
