Problems deploying a WinForms app that uses Microsoft ReportViewer - deployment

Question

I have published a WinForms application from Visual Studio 2010. It uses .NET 4.0. in the prerequisite dialog in Publish pane I selected .NET 4.0 Client Profile and Windows Installer 3.0. After publishing application to disk, I migrated it to client's computer which first installed .NET Client Profile and after reboot it gave following error message:
Unable to Install or run application. The application requires that assembly, Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common version 10.0.0 in global assembly cache first.
After this message the installation process exits. I'm using .NET's report in my project (not Crystal Reports).

Answer 1

You have to deploy the ReportViewer controls separately.
Check here on MSDN for more information: Deploying Reports and ReportViewer Controls
The ReportViewer control redistributable is a self-extracting file named ReportViewer.exe that includes an .msi and other files. You can find ReportViewer.exe at the following location:
%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\ReportViewer\ReportViewer.exe
You can also download it from the Microsoft Download Center.
[ . . . ]
The type of control you are using
determines where ReportViewer.exe
should be run.
For ASP.NET applications, run
ReportViewer.exe on the Web server
that hosts your application. This must
be done by a server administrator.
For Windows Forms applications,
include the controls as an application
prerequisite so that they are
installed automatically with your
application. You can use the
bootstrapping application to automate
this step:
Open the project properties page.
Click Publish, and then click
Prerequisites.
Select Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
Report Viewer, and then click OK.
Publish the application.
During application installation, a
check is performed on the local
computer to see if ReportViewer is
already installed. If it is not
installed, the Setup program will
install it.

I guess this is probably a new VS2012 feature, but you now can deploy Report Viewer (and the SQL Server CLR Types) with Forms / WPF click once installations.
Open the project properties page.
Click the Publish tab, and then click the Prerequisites button.
Select Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Report Viewer, and SQL Server
CLR Types then click OK.
Make sure that the Download prerequisites from the component
vendor’s website option is checked. This is the only supported
option. Then, click OK.
Click the Options button.
In the Deployment tab, specify a deployment Web page and select the
Automatically generate deployment web page after ever publish
checkbox.
Click OK and publish the application.

Answer 5

I had the same problem for months, one machine cat v.11 installed (manually by adding some components) and another had v.10 (from the ms framework itself), when I did the publish from my machine, it gave the error.
here is how I fixed it,
In Nuget, there are 2 packages,
Microsoft.ReportViewer.Windows (Microsoft.ReportViewer runtime 2012) and
ReportViewer.Common 10.0
I installed them both, now its working quite all right
