Crystal reports 2008 install freezes on disk space req.

Unable to install Crystal reports 2008 on server - Windows Server 2008 standard. This is required moving forward for troubleshooting purposes.
The installation freezes when determining disk space requirements.
I have tried copying the installation files locally to the server, but same issue occurs.
I have confirmed I am a local administrator, and there are no policies preventing installation.
I have installed this same software on other servers before.

Thomas's reply also worked for me! Here is the cut/paste excerpt from the link he provided that was the filnal solution, so you won't have to go to that link an read the entire post:
go back to initial phases of the installation and add french into language packs.
then pick custom installation.
don't play with anything.
and click to next...

Crystal Reports 2008 install on Windows Server 2008

I am trying to do a typical install of Crystal Reports 2008 on Windows Server 2003 and I keep getting an error that says "ReportConvTool.dll failed to register" and then the same error for other dll's, Myinfoview.dll, Encyclopedia.dll, etc.. What can be the problem?
I installed on a Vista machine with no problems.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

Hi,
I will not be able to provide the 'why' of this issue but per my research, these are how other users have done to get through this issue:
Please ensure that your Windows Server 2003 version is supported in your version of CR 2008 by going through the platform support document in our SMP
First scenario:
Continue with your installion ignoring the error message and manually register those DLLs afterwards
Second scenario
Continue with your installation ignoring the error message. Go to Add/remove programs and uninstall CR 2008 and reinstall it anew
Third scenario
Those DLLs indicates you have other BO products installed in that Windows server 2003. If it is just a test box, remove those products and reinstall them.
I've listed the steps from easy to complex and hopefully one resolves your issue.
Worst scenario, please log a ticket to Support through our Service Market Place (SMP)

Crystal Reports 2008 - Blank page on server only

Crystal Reports 2008 - Blank page on server only
My report is developed in the Crystal Reports 2008 Report Designer 12.0.0.683.
I have a .NET application that takes the report file, an ODBC connection and exports the resulting report to PDF. This application is deployed as an MSI and includes the Crystal Reports .msm merge module. The report uses multiple views and tables from a single database to create invoices in PDF format.
Problem: For one particular invoice, a blank page is being added to the end of the invoice. This blank page contains the report's standard page header. There is no missing data and no missing sections on the invoice. This is only occurring when the pdf is generated on a Windows Server 2008 x64 server where the application is deployed using the merge modules.
I have installed the application locally on my Windows Vista Business x86 system and the generated PDF does NOT contain the blank page at the end.
The blank page is not generated when previewing the report in Report Designer. For the particular invoice this is occurring on, footer F and footer G are blank and therefore suppressed.
Please bear in mind that this happens only for one particular invoice that uses this report file and does not happen from my local system using the same .rpt file.
The report is constructed of the following sections:
-Page Header (suppressed on page 1)
-Grp1 header A (watermark conditionally suppressed based upon a parameter)
-Grp1 header B (Keep together - always fits onto a single page)
-Details
-Grp1 footer A (Keep together)
-Grp1 footer B (Conditionally suppressed based upon data)
-Grp1 footer C (Keep together)
-Grp1 footer D (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section. New page before but (Not OnLastRecord))
-Grp1 footer E (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Grp1 footer F (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Grp1 footer G (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Report footer (Always blank. Suppress blank section)
-Page footer (Fixed static content, displayed on every page.)

Thanks for responding, Jonathan.
Is the same runtime installed on the 64 bit system? I notice from your version number that you do not have any service packs installed on the dev system. SP 2 is out and may help.
I have installed SP1 and SP2 this morning, resaved the report file and tried again but the same problem remains.
I'm not sure how to answer your runtime question. I am using the same application built with the same merge modules on both the dev machine and the production server. Of course, the dev machine has the additional complication of having Crystal Reports 2008 installed. Perhaps this is causing the difference?
Compare the printer settings between the two systems. Try installing the same printer driver on the 64 bit system.
Perhaps I am misinterpreting your suggestion, but I am not printing the invoices. I am only exporting them to PDF. It is the PDF that has the extra page. Is there a 'print to PDF' driver of some sort that I need?
Also, was the .NET application compiled as 32 bit, or Any CPU? Whichever it was, try switching it then recompiling to see if that helps.
I tried switching to Any CPU but this caused the Crystal Reports module not to load at all on the 64bit Windows server.
Thank you for your suggestions, but my problem remains. Is it worth trying with the redistributable msi rather than using the merge modules? If so, could you recommend which one I should use? I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional.

How to configure Crystal Reports 2008 and IIS7 and Windows Server 2008?

I have downloaded and installed the trial for Crystal Reports 2008 on our Windows 2008 server. I can open Crystal Reports on the server just fine, but I get HTTP 500 errors when I attempt to view a report hosted on that server via the web.
As far as I can tell, the handler mappings in IIS7 are not configured properly, although I confirmed that the Crystal Reports 2008 install did add several handlers. I read that I must configure the application pool to enable 32-bit applications. I did that and am still getting the same error. Documentation seems sparse and I've spent the better part of the day searching the forum here with no luck. What am I missing?

Don,
Thank you for the quick response!
We will ultimately be using ASPX/C#, but this simple case has a very basic report with no databind, just a single text label that reads "test succeeded" and I'm attempting to access it by direct URL (i.e. "http://192.168.99.21/crystalreportviewers12/test.rpt"). This works on our Windows 2000 server running Crystal Reports 8.
I've also tested with a simple test.aspx file with only the line "Response.Write(System.DateTime.Now.ToString())" and that works just fine. This file is in the same folder as the test.rpt file.
If I leave the Application Pool set for the "Integrated" managed pipeline mode, I continue to get a rather generic "500 - Internal server error". If I switch it to "Classic", I get the following error:
Failed to Execute URL.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Deploying Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
I have both Visual Studio 2008 and Crystal Reports 2008 installed on my development PC.   I'm having issues deploying my applications since I installed Crystal Reports 2008.
Installing on x86 PCs, customers are having to install both:
    CRRedist2008_x86.msi
    CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi
on 64-bit PCs, no matter what I try I can not get the reports to generate without an error of missing files or incorrect versions.
I've tried CRRedist2008_x64.msi, (and practically every other possible download of service packs, install MSI files, etc, etc.)
I also can't seem to get any version of merge modules working. I get all kinds of errors like:
"...Error merging 'CRRuntime_12_2.msm': Unable to merge data from the merge module because it conflicts with existing data in the package. MergeModule: table='Directory' row='DesktopFolder' Database: table='Directory' row='DesktopFolder'     C:\Projects\iEnergy\Setup\Setup.vdproj     Setup ..."
It seems having both Crystal Reports 2008 (version 12.x), and Visual Studio 2008 (version 10.x) has really messed things up. There must be a simple way to deploy this on x86 and 64-bit PCs.
Telling customers to install multiple exe/msi files doesn't fly either.
If someone could help clear all this up, I would be really grateful.
Thanks,
Glen.

Hi Glen,
Use the same Patch version of the redist packages as what you have installed on your DEV PC.
You should search here first also, lots of help on distributing which should answer all of your questions also.
First - CRRedist2008_x86.msi is for CR Basic for VS 2008. Not required.
Second - CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi is the original release of CR 2008 runtime.
Then your error indicates you are trying to install Service Pack 2.
Check your project, all of the References should be Version 12.x.x.x. The second x indicates the service pack level so this must match with your DEV PC is also using.
Second major change is in your Projects Properties change the CPU to x86 Only. CR 2008 does not have any 64 bit runtime, only 10.2 and 10.5 for VS but it's limited in what it can do in it's API list.
Again search for 64 bit in this forum and you'll find lots of links on how to....
Do not use the MSM's, if you do you also must also include the Windows C++ distribution packages.
Bottom line is search here and you'll find all of your answers.
Thank you
Don

Probleming Installing Crystal Reports 2008 Service Pack 1 to Vista 64bit OS

Hi There,
Whenever I attempt to install SP1 to Crystal Reports 2008 I am unable to get past the disk space check. It just continues to display the message below.
"please wait while the installer finishes determining your disk space".
I found this to be an issue on the 64bit OS only because I can install to Vista 32bit no problem.
Please help.
Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,
Try with this:
Run a command prompt as administrator. From the start menu, select "All Programs", then "Accessories" and right-click on the "Command Prompt" shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator". From here you can use the following command to disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) with the following command:
bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOff
Keeping your command prompt open, run your setup or other process being stopped by DEP. Then, to turn it back on again, do the same and run the following:
bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOn
Now try to install Crystal reports.
Regards,
Shweta

Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 Install Error

When I try to install Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 I receive the following error...
The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available.
Insert the 'Crystal Reports 2008 SP1' disk and click OK.
SP1 was installed via the upgrade utility that launches with the software. I found the package folder in C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp but it did not contain the MSI SP2 is looking for.
I've tried installing SP2 by both letting the update utility attempt to automatically install it and by just downloading it from the update utility and running the installation manually.
Anyone experience this issue?
-Chris

Try downloading SP1 and installing it from your local hard driver and then install SP2. I'll mention this issue to the install team and see what they say about your issue.

Problems installing Crystal Reports 2008 Server on Windows Server 2008 serv

I attempted to install the Crystal Reports 2008 product on one of our Windows Server 2008 servers.
After installing disk 1
Crystal Reports 2008 Server attempts to open up in IE...... but opens up to a blank page
http://bmlfileserver:8080/CmcApp/
anyone have any idea why? why does it not prompt for the second CD?
Is this a compatibility with Windows Server 2008?

I'm attempting to install CRS 2008 on Windows Server 2008 as well, and I'm running into a few issues. Did you ever get yours resolved? I started by trying to use IIS, but I'm uninstalling it completely now and will try Tomcat instead. Which route did you go?

How is the best way to install the latest version of Crystal Reports 2008

I have been downloading for hours all the service packs, hot fixes, fix packs and chasing my tail for way too long on this.
I keep getting errors about a file being out of sequence.... I assume there is a very loooooong list of fixpacks that need to be applied!!!    This is such a nightmare.
Is there a simple way to just install the latest version of 2008 Crystal Reports?
If I have to follow a long sequence of updates, is it written down anywhere?
The reason for this in the firstplace is because I moved to Visual Studio 2010 with .Net 4.0 framework and now none of my crystal reports work.
I am using the full version of Crystal Reports 2008 installation, not the one built into Visual Studio
HELP!!!!!!

When I try installing SP2 it starts the update and just locks up... no errors... just sits there. I let it sit for about an hour.
Is it compatible with Windows 7 ?
When I tried installing a fixpack, I kept getting errors that a file was out of sequence.   I will try uninstalling all of Crystal and just reinstall in this order:
1. Crystal Reports 2008 from CD
2. Install Crystal Reports 2008 SP2
3. Install FixPack 2.6
This is what I tried the first time and got all the errors, but I will try it again...   is this correct?
(I don't need to install SP0 or SP1 or any other Fixpacks.... Correct?)

Error while trying to install Crystal Reports 2008 SP3

Has anyone else come across this error before when running the SP3 update installer;
Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Update is not allowed to install because a patch with a higher version was detected.
The installation then terminates. There has been nothing installed on this server to do with Crystal, aside from CR2008, SP1 and then the attempt at SP3.
ANY help appreciated
Edited by: Ludek Uher on Aug 18, 2010 2:07 PM

Priyanka,
I'm already extremely annoyed that a new server build requires installation of CR2008, then SP1 before SP3 will even allow installation. Adding SP2 into the mix just makes it seem like none of the developers tested anything (which I'm seeing from just about every software company I deal with these days).
Besides, the 'SAP Business Objects Support Software Downloads' page no longer lists SP1 or SP2 as available downloads, so I'm going to have to try Don's solution first.

Unable to Install Crystal Reports 2008 on Windows 7 64 bit

Getting an error trying to install Crystal Reports 2008 on a 64 bit Windows

reformatted my computer and now I'm trying to install Crystal Reports 2008 on 64 bit windows 7 box. When the "Registering modules" portion of the install comes up, I get a message that a dll has failed to register. I saw something about not having the Microsoft Visual c++ 2005 redistributable pack (x86) installed but that was not it either.
The cd label say Crystal Reports to Crystal Reports 2008 Upgrade, but it does not seem like I have to have the older version of Crystal insatlled.
Any ideas how to fix this ?

Hello together,
i've had the same problem. Tried to install CR SP 2 "cr2008win_sp2.exe" onto an existing CR 2008 SP1 installation, and got the above error. After extracting the cr2008win_sp2.exe to an folder using Winzip (or just start Installation, the source would be extracted to "c:\temp" ), navigate to the subfolder "\package" and execute the CrystalReports.msp (in my case: c:\temp\package\CrystalReports.msp). This start's the Installation of SP 2. If you get an version mismatch, use parameter SKIP_PATCH_VERSION_CHECK=1 by typing command in an dos prompt "c:\temp\package\CrystalReports.msp SKIP_PATCH_VERSION_CHECK=1" but remember, you need to have an SP1 installed (somebody said, SP's are incremental).
Reboot and apply then the CR 2008 SP2 FixPack 7 "cr2008fp27.exe". Use this Link to Download CR and Xcelsius Stuff:
[https://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm]
I would suggest you not to use IE for downloading, use an alternative browser. I got only bad downloads (IE8 on Win7).
This is the way i did and this works pretty good.
Good Luck
