After reading quite a few various posts from the old forums, I am still having issues installing/deploying a custom ITool/ICommand object (.dll) developed by way of:

VisualStudio 2008
.NET Framework 3.5
CrystalReports 10.5
NO CustomActions (other than the Install/Uninstall procs)

Problem:  "Error:1001 unable to load one or more of the requested types"... then install process is rolled back.

Target Machine specs:

1. Has Crystal Reports Viewer installed, but the GAC does not have ANY of the CrystalDecisions.. references as seen in my project.

2. .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is installed.

3.  Made certain that the SDK .NET Support was installed with the ArcGIS installation (this is seen/verified in the Add/Remove programs list).

4.  I cannot see this anywhere on the target computer: 

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Regasm.exe


Any insight or comments about any of the above and what would be a good course of action to take in order to get this thing installed.

Thanks!

Thanks again for all who commented.  I wanted to follow up with the solution that I came across, as after doing all of the recommended things on this thread I was still getting an error 1001 and rollback of the installation.

Crystal Reports was the problem.

Basically, if you are developing in Visual Studio 2008 with Crystal Report 10.5 components, then you must run a bootstrapper exe prior to running the install of the custom ArcGIS components.  This bootstrapper is found here:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\CrystalReports10_5

After running this on the target computer, my custom tools installed just fine.
