do either of these links help as a possible work around even though I know you were aiming for the file drop method?

Hi Stuart,
Thanks for the suggestions - but no, I've tried the method of including the Crystal MSI in the deployment with no effect. You're simply not allowed to install anything on Azure App Services - I'm thinking maybe things have changed since those articles were made - the current status quo is you can deploy any assembly you like to the bin folder, but the registry is off-limits.
I might take another look at this tomorrow after some sleep, but I'm pretty much spent on this for today.
Mike
