Crystal Reports XI Merge Module Error

Hi,
I am attempting to create an installer that uses the latest (CRXIWIN_SP4) Crystal Reports XI merge module (CrystalReports11_RDC_Reportengine.msm).
When the installer is run an error often occurs (it only occurs on some machines and I have so far be unable to find a pattern as to which machines it fails on):
Error 1904.Module C:|Program Files\Busines Objects\BusinessObjects Entrprise 11\win32_x86\plugins\auth\secLDAP\secldap.dll failed to register. HRESULT -2147024770.
The dll in question (secldap.dll) is present on the machine at the point where the error occurs, but further inspection seems to indicate that a dependency is missing (though it's not clear what dependency).
The readme file supplied with the merge modules would seem to suggest that this is a defect in the merge module that has been fixed (ADAPT00409449).
Any help to sort this out would be much appreciated as I've run out of ideas!
Many thanks,
Simon Clarke.

  • Crystal Reports 2008 Merge Modules SP1 Fails when installing Wise 7.0

    Hello all,
    We are packaging our software solution .NET 2.0 Visual Studio 2008, with Wise Studio 7.0 using Crystal Reports 2008 Merge Modules (SP1). (We use CR2008 for reporting)
    There is a point (fix service) in the installation when an error message appears saying, " cannot register Businessobjects.enterprise.sdk cannot be register because of dependencies.
    We have tried installing in a XP, a Windows 2003 Server, and Vista. The three of them with the same error.
    Any ideas???
    Thank in advance.

  • Crystal Report 9 merge Module and its service pack 7.

    Hello, My application is using Crystal report 9 and have its merge modules which are integrated in Installer. It has packages: rdcdesigntime.msm, rdcruntime.msm, reportengine.msm and Database_Access.msm which are already integrated in my application Installer. There are few issues which are fixed in its service pack 7 for CR 9(File: cr90win_en_sp7.exe).
    Now my Q is:
    1. Are there latest merge modules for CR 9 which has changes for SP 7 also incorporated? So that I can change modules in installer itself to have changes for SP7 also.
    2. I couldn't get merge modules for CR 9 even from the site. From where I can get this?

    Hi Neha,
    Click [here|http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/runtime.asp#01] to download the availabe merge modules of CR 9.
    Or
    Click [here|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm] to get all the CR9 documents, mergemodules, fix packs etc. just you need to provide the "CR" as S/W product and "9" as a roduct version.
    Also the Wiki [here|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsforVisualStudio.NETRuntimeDistribution-Versions9.1to12.0] is currently the best resource for CR.NET Runtime information.

  • Crystal Report XI merge module in the setup and deployment project VS 2005

    Hello,
    We've purchased and implemented Crystal Reports XI into our software.
    We are working on installation of our software. We included CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm into our setup package.
    For English it's installs correctly. For any other language (like German) install package itself fails.
    For user to see installation screens in German we created installation in German and then created transform for the language.
    Install fails with the message "can't find p3smpen.dll in the package...."
    This dll is related to the crystal reports. We wander if we need to include language merge modules for CR XI?
    thank you

    Hi,
    What is the dll version of Crystal Reports?
    Also give a try installing server install.

  • Crystal Reports 12 merge module fails ICE validation during installation

    Hi there,
    I am using the CR 2008 merge module that I downloaded from this site, and am using MSI Factory 2.0 to install my product.  The ICE validation fails during the build with the following errors.

    Any ideas what this means?
    Thanks,
    Rod

    Hi Falk, thanks for your interest.
    Yes, I can build the setup, but I need to have zero ICE validation warnings in order to pass the Vista Certification process.  It seems to me that the default merge module for CR2008 has been put together in a way that fails best practice - eg.  ICE validation.
    The merge module is simply added to a feature within the installer product, and if I turn on the switch to "Ignore ICE warnings", then the build works OK and I can install the product no problems.  However if I turn off the "Ignore ICE warnings", then the build fails and stops dead.
    The snippet I posted here was from the log file.
    Hope this helps,
    Best regards,
    Rod

  • InstallShield 7.0 + Crystal Report 10 merge module

    I previously posted an issue on CR10, running on Vista environment.  As per feedback, CR10.5 supports runtime for Vista.
    Now that we have this consideration, I just wanted to know if InstallShield 7 can include CR10 (10.5 or 10.2) merge modules to its package?  We don't have license to upgrade to the newer InstallShield version, so I just wanted to know first if this is possible or not.
    Thanks!

    Hi, Frederick;
    We do not have any specific information regarding which installer products work with our Merge Modules. Previous versions of our Merge Modules have worked fine with Install Shield 7, so there is no reason why the version 10 merge modules would not work.
    The best advice at this point is to try it and see. If it does not work, you can provide any error messages here, and we can do what we can to help.

  • Uninstalling Crystal 2008 SP1 merge module disables Crystal 2008 Designer

    Hi,
    I've come across a problem when uninstalling an application that includes the Crystal 2008 SP1 merge module, where Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 Developer is also installed on the machine.
    The uninstallation of an application containing this merge module will trigger the uninstall code in the merge module - I would have expected this module to take into account shared files and decrement the SharedDlls registry count for relevant .dlls etc, so that files still used by other applications are not affected or uninstalled.
    However it stops Crystal 2008 SP1 Developer from working, no message is displayed when attempting to launch the application (apart from in the Event Log), but following some investigation it appears a number of files and folders are removed by the merge module that shouldn't be, as follows:
    C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\boezlib.dll
    C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\uf12manager.dll
    C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\crystalreportviewers12\js\crviewer\images\
    C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\crystalreportviewers12\js\dhtmllib\images\
    C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\crystalreportviewers12\js\dhtmllib\samples\
    C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\crystalreportviewers12\js\dhtmllib\validator\
    C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\crystalreportviewers12\js\log4javascript\
    C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\crystalreportviewers12\js\MochiKit\
    C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\crystalreportviewers12\prompting\
    There could be others, but these are the files / folders I've identified so far, and restoring these files / folders appears to get Crystal Developer up and running and able to run reports.
    Does anybody know how to prevent this, or if this is a known issue and planned to be addressed in a future release of the merge modules?

    Hi,
    Thanks for your feedback Henry.
    I've downloaded the SP1 patch for Crystal Reports Designer, this appears to be the same one I already have installed, dated 28/09/08.  The problem is the current merge module for the SP1 runtime incorrectly removes some of the .dll's required by SP1 Designer if the merge module is subsequently installed / uninstalled with a third-party application from an ISV.  These .dll's should have been marked as Shared by the SP1 Designer patch install but have not, including the .dll's specific to SP1 (boezlib and uf12manager) along with a host of files in the Common\4.0\crystalreportviewers12 folders.
    I've tested around this area a few weeks ago and noticed that if the Shared reference count for these files in the registry is created before the SP1 merge module is installed / uninstalled (as it should have been by the SP1 Designer install) then the MM works correctly.  That is the reference count is increased when the MM is installed, decreased when MM is uninstalled but still remains > 0 and so these shared files are not removed.  This leaves the Crystal Reports SP1 Designer intact and working.
    I'll await the new install for SP1 Designer and give this a try in conjunction with the SP1 merge module install / uninstall.
    Also I've noticed the documentation you referred me to mentions the SP1 Runtime MSI will be refreshed to detect imcompatible software (to stop this corrupting an SP0 Designer install), but does not mention that the SP1 merge module will also be refreshed.  If the SP1 merge module is not refreshed, do you know if there will there be some documentation available for ISV's as to how to reliably detect any incompatible software on a target machine?  This will enable ISV's using the SP1 merge module to embed the same checks as used in your installations to prevent this corrupting any software on the target machine that is incompatible with the SP1 runtime.
    Many thanks,
    Peter.

  • Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer Error in 1 Workstation after upgrade of PL

    Hi all,
    We just upgraded SAP from 8.82 PL02 to 8.82 PL15.
    Afterwards, in just 1 workstation, Crystal Reports layouts have Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer error I attach.
    Before the upgrade this error did not happen.
    No permissions or authorizations were changed  in the workstation.
    The Crystal Reports layouts remain working fine in server and in the other workstations.
    In the workstation following are installed:
    - Operating System Windows 7;
    - Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5;
    - SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for. NET Framework;
    - Crystal Report 2008 Runtime SP6;
    - Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Native Client.
    All, but the operating system, are equal to the other workstations.
    User has edit access to SAP folders, temp and access to the attach path.
    We already uninstalled SAP client and client agent and re-installed it but with no avail.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Crystal 9 SP7 merge modules

    Post Author: paulhaines
    CA Forum: Older Products
    Has anyone yet made Crystal 9 merge modules that included the SP7 update?  I see the last one posted in the downloads section is still prior to SP6.
    We ran into an issue lately where the Crystal 9 viewer crashes after repeated attempts to the same report over and over.  One of our programmers installed the SP7 update on his PC and the issue was resolved.  However, when we package the last merge modules and deploy it to our users - they still get the problem.  If we force the SP7 install on their PC (which is only meant for a full install of CR9) and click past all of the errors on the backup -- it works!  The issue doesn't appear anymore.
    I'm going a bit nuts trying to butcher the old merge modules to include the SP7 updated files, but I'm finding a futile effort.  Does Business Objects have SP7 merge modules that can be put in the download area?  Or can I get a list of all the files that should be included in each merge module and I'll build it myself.

    Hello,
    It is unlikely that the CR9 merge modules are going to be updated any more.  SP7 for CR9 was released back in January 2006, and all patch support, etc. has expired for CR9.
    The work around is going to be to install SP7 on your client machines.  While BOBJ never recommended installing full SPs on a deployment machine in this case you really don't have an option.

  • Invalid GUID Strings in RDC Report Engine Merge Module

    The "CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Reportengine.msm" merge module for Crystal Reports XI R2 SP6 contains some invalid GUID strings that cause validation errors for installers that include that merge module.  Basically, there are three components in the merge module whose component ID GUIDs contain lower-case characters, and these lower-case characters violate Windows Installer rules as the characters should be all upper-case.  These three component ID GUIDs are {C3122AE7-7812-4ab7-8187-4AFA5C3FB819}, {5CCE2FBC-BC46-4fb0-91FE-10FBA2C713DE}, and {C9105D9E-BCCD-45c1-B0B1-BB8D2382D12A}.  To see the validation errors, open the merge module in Microsoft's Orca tool and run the validation command using the "Merge Module Validation Suite" option.  There will be three ICE03 validation errors with messages like "Invalid GUID string (Be sure GUID is all UPPER case)..."
    This problem seems to have been introduced in the CR XI R2 SP6 version of this merge module, as prior versions did not appear to suffer from it.  I also checked the CR XI R2 SP6 Fix Pack 6.1 version of the merge module, and it too has the same problem.
    Will the problem be fixed in the next version (Fix Pack 6.2?) of the merge module?
    Thanks

    Hi, did you get this working? I'm really struggling to get up and running on 2008 R2, the CMS service just refuses to connect to the database. It also looks like the database wasn't created properly during the install. I set it up on an MSDE database, and when I look at it with sql management studio the database is there but there aren't any tables or anything else
    Can anyone either confirm or deny that its possible to run Crystal XI on 2008 R2?
    The error I'm getting when trying to start the service is:
    The root server reported an error Initialization Failure. (Reason: Unable to connect to the database using the provided connection string. Reason: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified).
    I've confirmed that the ODBC connections work (both 32 bit and 64 bit) via the built in test, but Crystal for some reason isn't happy

  • Crystal Reports: Unexpected database connector error

    Hi experts,
    I have a Web Module DC that uses JSP to show Crystal Reports. In my report I use POJO as datasource. The POJO itself is a JPA entity and is located in other EJB Module DC that has dependency with the Web Module DC. At design time everything looks fine and I can retrieve the data I need from other EJB Module with Session Beans but as a result I see the following error: "Unexpected database connector error". The architecture is the following:

  • Crystal Report Export To Excel Error: "Error detected by Export DDL"

    I have a windows application in .Net 2003, whenever i export the crystal report on my development machine or other windows xp machines it runs smoothly, but when i deploy the application on client's machine having windows vista installed, it displays error of "Error in file........., Error detected by export DLL"
    pls help me.

    First thing to look at is the wiki [What versions of Crystal Reports are supported on Windows Vista in VS .NET?|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=64259646].
    Note that CR 9.1 is not supported on Vista. And if CR 9.1 is not supported on Vista, any earlier version of CR will also not be supported on Vista. That is not to say the app(s) will not work, they may - or not. You never know... and we have no experience with these types of installs as we don't need to have it.
    Next, have a look at KBase [1205312 - "Error detected by export DLL" while exporting to Excel after applying SP2 on Windows 2003 Server|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233303335333333313332%7D.do]. Not exactly the same OS, but I'd follow through on the suggestions in that KB anyhow.
    Finally, If this app works on a Vista box when a VB 6 app  is not installed, compare the dlls loaded between that box and the one that has both apps. Use [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] to do that.
    Other than that, only suggestion I have is to upgrade to a version of CR that does support Vista.
