visual studio .net setup : Crystal Engine version??

I am trying to deploy a simple crystal reports application (VS.Net 2005.) It
runs fine on the developer machines, however when I try to install it on the
server it gives me a nasty error stating that 'An error occurred during the
installation of assembly
'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.resources,Versio="11.0.3300.0"

I reserached it and found out that I needed to add the latest merge modules
to my setup project. Fine. Now I get the same error, only it references
version "10.2.3600.0"

When I look in the GAC on the server, the version of the engine is
11.0.3300.0. According to microsoft 10.2.3600.0 is the version for VS.Net
2005, and 11.0.3300.0 is the version for Crystal Reports XI. I find it
mindblowing that Business objects leaves this up to me to figure it out. Can
anyone point me in the right direction? Note that this is 2003 server, with
..Net Framework 2.0, and I have the latest crystal merge modules. What do I
need to do to install this simple, basic application? Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

I got around this error by Downloading the latest Merge Module called
CrystalReports11_5_NET.msm (despite the fact that crystal's docs instructed
me to add three merge modules of which none of them were named
CrystalReports11_5_NET.msm)

However now the application builds, but when I double click the .exe,
nothing happens. Note that I successfully installed a simple "Hello World"
program with no problem so I'm fairly certain it's a Crystal issue.

Any Help or ideas Appreciated.

The error is the 'clr20r3 ' error that shows up in the event log (at least
I'm ceratin that the machine is using Framework 2.0 settings.)

But this is simply rediculous. I have entered the license key into the
KeyCode field for CrystalReports_5_NET_2005.msm. I have no idea what to do
about this. I have wasted two days trying to deploy a simple application. I
got through the install problems, but now I get a cryptic error when I try to
run the application. Any Info appreciated.
