Can you use CR for VS2012 without instalilng on client machine?

Hello everyone.

I was just wondering if there was a different way to deploy CR, one that didn't involve downloading and installing the runtime on the client machine? The way I have it set up now is that I added the CR to my prerequisites for the project so when I deploy the app the user downloads it and then the CR runtime as well and then installas both. But I would like to know is there a way to user CR without making the user have to install it on their machine?

Thanks

No.  You have to install the runtime in order to be able to run an application that uses the Crystal SDK.
