Cannot install crystal report server - please help

hello users,
i cannot install the server application. i put the dvd in the drive and choose german install and directly cames an error.
"Fehler bei der Übernahme der Transformationspakete. Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Transformationspfade gültig sind."
in english nearly:
"error by assumption of transformationpacket. make sure, that the transformationpath are validly"
sorry for my english but i am a long-established german

Hello Marcus,
I believe this is an 'error applying transforms' type of error.
Running the MSI installer from command line should typically resolves the problem.
From the cmd line, at the root of the CD drive, type:
msiexec.exe /i win32\businessobjects.msi TRANSFORMS=:1031
Please note that the 1031 indicates German. 1033 indicates English.
There is more information in the following SAP Note:
1202481 - Error Applying Transforms - Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.
Thanks.

Cannot install Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Client Tools on same machine

I am having trouble setting up Crystal Reports Server 2008 with Client Tools on a new Windows 2003 SP 2 machine. The Server 2008 package installs OK (built-in MySQL server, built-in Tomcat 5.5 server). Reports run okay. But my customer wants to run reports that use Salesforce as a data source, so I tried to install Crystal Reports Server 2008 Client Tools (needed for Salesforce support, apparently). I receive this error:
'Business Objects product detected: cannot continue with install'. Installation of Client Tools immediately terminates.
Oddly enough, when I uninstalled Server 2008, the Client Tools installed successfully. Then I tried installing Server 2008, and I got the same error message as with Server 2008. What the heck?
Any ideas on how I can get Server 2008 and Server 2008 Client Tools to live in harmony on the same machine? We were able to do this with a (otherwise overloaded) Win2K3 server before.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Typically the client tools are installed with enterprise by default. If not then you would want to use add/remove in control panel and select them. The installer thinks you are trying to install enterprise on top of itself and thus the error.

Tim

Invalid Key code Error while installing crystal report server 11

While installing crystal report server 11,i am facing an erro which says Invalid Key code Error.I had raised this issue to SAP customer support and attaching the conversation that we had.PLEASE HELP me to resolve the issue.
MAILS--Dear Mohit,
Thanks for the patience.
We have received the below update from the Licensing Team.
You received your permanent key in respect of these licenses - the key is for Crystal Reports Server XI.
You did not purchase these licenses for Crystal Reports Server, but purchased it for Crystal Reports and a 5-named user license for Crystal Reports was included as a special offer. The software included was version XIR2, but you elected to use version XI instead and received key .
You would need to enroll the licenses in maintenance if you want to upgrade them.
In case of any queries please create a ticket via the Service Market Place.

Hi,
I am raising this concern on behalf on Taxmantra project (Tata Consultancy Services noida).
We have bought licensed Crystal Reports Server 11 near by 2006.We are trying to install the crystal server but while installing ,we have encountered with an error message that:-
"The product key code you have entered is incorrect"
We are facing the same issue in 2006,I am attaching with this email the conversations that was held in 2006 to get the correct key code.
Please help us to resolve the issue as early as possible.
My contact number:
If you need any further information do let me know

Ajit,
By design, the product is not able to be installed under the superuser account.
1. Create a new user and specify a home directory for the user without a quota set.
2. Copy or move the installation files to a directory that the new user can read. I suggest you move the installation files directly into the new user's home directory.
3. Logon as the new user (or su - newuser)
4. run the installation shell script using that new user's account.
NOTE: Ensure the system meets the requirements from the supported platforms documents.

I installed Crystal Reports server 2008, i'm geting server not started erro

Hi,
I'm getting error with server not started or not available error (FWM 01003). If i check in CCM, i don't see any entry for CMS server entry. How to start CMS server??? Please advise me. i installed trail version of crystal reports server 2008.
thanks in advance!!!
Ben.

I am a consultant for Business Object products and experienced the same exact problem. We were installing Business Objects Edge, which is similar to Crystal Reports Server 2008, with MS SQL Server 2000 SP4 for the CMS System Database on a server that was named <Numbers>-<Letters>.
We discovered that some scripts that the installation and CMS run fail when the Server Name of the Business Objects Edge Server start with a number. When the CMS System Database is setup, a table called CMS_IdNumbers6 is created. It should have three columns, NameId, IdName and third column that is named after the server where you are installing Crystal Reports Server 2008, Business Objects Edge or Business Objects Enterprise. This column is called <ServerName>_iad_intensive_int_6400.
This column fails to get created when your server name starts with a number and subsequent scripts that insert records into this column fail. Renaming the server where we were installing Business Objects Edge to <Letters><Numbers> (no dashes either to be safe) solved the problem. We were successfully able to install Business Objects Edge. Please note: This is the server where you are installing Crystal Reports Server 2008 that needs to be renamed and NOT the MS SQL Server--just making a note because we had to go back and forth with our server team a couple of times on this point.

After install Crystal Report Server 2011, can not access control tools

Afte install Crystal Report Server 2011, can not access control tools from web or from application.
My server OS is Windows 2008 R2 SP1. I follow the default setting. How to fix it?
Error message is above.

Is Tomcat started? On your Start menu you should have an option to get to "Tomcat Configuration" or, under the CRS menu you can run the "Central Configuration Manager" to start Tomcat.
What URL are you using to connect to the web app? By default Tomcat runs on port 8080 so your URL should look something like this: "http://<servername>:8080/BOE/CMC" or "http://<servername>:8080/BOE/BI".
If Tomcat is running and you're trying to access it from another computer, check to see if the Windows Firewall is turned on for the server - if it is, turn it off for "Domain" access.
If Tomcat won't start, go to the folder where Tomcat is installed and then look in the "logs" folder. There should be a file called "stderr.log" which you can open in Notepad to see what types of errors might be occurring (you can ignore any errors having to do with "persisted sessions".) If there are other errors, post in the BI Platform space to get assistance.

Which server do I install Crystal Reports Server On?

I'm new to crystal reports server and preparing to install 2008. I've been through the Crystal Reports Server 2008 Quick Installation Guide for Window and it does not refer to which server it should be installed on. I'm currently running a SQL server Business One is located on, a web server for Web Tools and an Exchange Server. I'm assuming I would install it on my SQL server that has SAP located there also. Is there a recomended location or suggestions for specific location?

Hi,
not sure what you mean but let's summarize:
Task: Building reports that fetch data from SAP sources
Software needed: Crystal Reports Designer 2008 + BOBJ int.Kit for SAP (client installation option)
Task: Publishing and scheduling CR reports that fetch data from SAP sources
Software needed: BO Edge XI 3.1 or BO Enterprise XI 3.1 + BOBJ int.Kit for SAP (server installation option)
You mentioned that you want to install Crystal Reports Server 2008. It provides almost the same functionality as BO Enterprise and BO Edge but it DOES NOT support scheduling and publishing reports in the InfoView (kind of BOBJ portal) which fetch data from SAP sources.
I would suggest to install the BOBJ server software on a separate machine, as long as the machine resides on the same domain as your SAP server.

Installing Crystal reports server 2008 v1 with iis

Hi All
I have downloaded a trial version of Crystal reports server 2008 v1 to install on our server.
We are runnning server 2003 and have iis version 6.0 installed.
I have run the installation wizard on our test server but when i get to the "Select Web Application Server" screen i am not given the option to select "Deploy the application in WACS" as the documentation suggests i should.
I continued with the installation using the "IIS Web ApplicationServer option" and selected the default iis website to deploy to but when i try to run the CMC and InfoView I just get the message "Internet Explorer cannot display the Webpage"
We have asp.net v1.1 installed and Application server is installed in windows components.
Does anyone have any idea what may be causing my problems. It is my first time install ing CRS so i may have missed something.
Any help would be appreciated.

CRS 2008 requires 2.0 framework to run

Cannot install Crystal Reports 8.5 Pro - no Registration code

We want to re-install Crystal Reports Profession 8.5 because the old PC it was installed has been replaced. We have the CD and the keycode but cannot complete the process.The installation asks for the keycode and then all our details which we enter including a valid email but it seems to attempt to go a incorrect web address (displays http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/index.epx) and we get no registration code.
Searching and trawling about the SAP forums here didn't seem to help. Can anyone point us to the correct place to get a valid registration code.

Hello,
Is the old PC still available? If so you can get if from there. You could try contact Customer Services but I doubt they would be able to get you a new registration number. CR 8.5 is close to 10 years old and with the name changes none of those old servers are running now.... Try calling the number in the help about box.
Other than that you'll just have to put up with the registration nag screen.
Thank you
Don

Cannot Install Crystal Reports for Eclipse v2.0 on Mac OSX

I've tried to install the Crystal Reports plug-in to my Eclipse environment without any success. No matter what I try, I get the same error message:
"Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Missing requirement: 1271104370856 0.0.0.1271104370856 requires 'com.businessobjects.crystalreports.integration.eclipse.feature.feature.group [2.0.6.r916]' but it could not be found"
To the best of my knowledge, I've installed all the correct pre-requisites listed on the SAP website. I've tried every search I can think of and have found nothing that helps.
I'm at my wits end...please help!

Note that the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 plugin is not supported nor tested on MacOS, regardless of version.
Feedback I've gotten is that the installation fails for the embedded designer components.
The Crystal Reports Java SDK runtime components - the library used to run rpt files on desktop of web apps using Java - is supported and tested on MacOS 10.5
You'll note that the Supported Platform guide for CR4E 2.0 is specific in listing support only for the Runtime.

Log files are showing only start and stop time without any other details. Trace files are also empty.

UsmanRana

Hi UsmanRana,
Make sure your rep_myserver.conf file has the following line in it and that it isn't commented out:
<trace traceOpts="trace_all">
Then restart your report server and look in the "logs" subdirectory for the rep_myserver.trc file. It should show you what happened that caused the report server to shut down.

Cannot install Crystal report 2008

Dear All,
I am trying to instal CR_2008_SP01_for_B1 on my PC. I got a screen said "please wait while the installer finishes determining your disk space requirements" forever. If I hit cancel, it will cancel the installation. So it looks like the installation process is not frozen. It didn't give me any error message as well. I have windows XP and SQL2008. I have SAP8.8 PL16. I have around 10G free space on C drive. That is the only local hard drive I have. Can anybody let me know how to install Crystal? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Yuka

Hi Yuka.........
If you are not getting any errors while installation and taking time then I would suggest you let it run else if you cancel in between then it may corrupt dll files which are being created while installation. Because while installation a setup checks all those prerequisites which are required so it generally takes time.

Cannot delete itunes .msi not found and cannot install new one! please help

Please help me awhile ago i tried deleting then reinstalling th new version of itunes / quick time and after going through most of the installation process this comes up:
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below.
Use source:
C:\Documents and Settings\Jordan\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update\
I made a picture of it here:http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa233/djjordie/cannotfindmsi.jpg
Then i tried uninstalling it (somehow it says its installed in add or remove programs) and the same message came up.
After ages of trying to figure it out and deleting heaps of things, when trying to install now it says:
1.run or cancel (thats not the problem) i click run picture here:http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa233/djjordie/cannotfindmsi.jpg
2.then it goes to this picture here:http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa233/djjordie/preparingtoinstall.jpg
3. then straight to this picture here:http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa233/djjordie/preparingtoinstall.jpg
without the the rest of the installation process...
SO i need to be able to delete it complety (the problem there is the .msi not being found).
Then install itunes / quick time without the .msi problem or the skipping of the installation process with it saying errors occurred ect...
Please help it would be much appreciated!
DJJORDIE

WHen you get trouble with msi files you usually need the Microsoft Installer cleanup utility.
Here is a method for removal of iTunes and related programs with clean up and reinstall.
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.
