CRVS2010 - Is it ok if previous version of CR is installed on target box

Hello,
I know this was not recommended during CRVS2010 Beta but i could not find any official document stating the same for CRVS2010 production release. Can you please let me know if it's Ok to have a previous verisons of CR runtime installed on the box/VM where we are installing "SAP Crystal Reports for .Net 4.0 runtime engine" or is it not recommended. 
FYI.  n earlier release of our product, we used to use Merge modules.
Since we do not have merge modules for x64 for CRVS2010, in this release of our product, installation of the "SAP Crystal Reports for .Net 4.0 runtime engine"  is being done as a setup prerequisite via our product's setup installer.
Thanks,
Gulab.

So far I have not heard of any issues that would impact your distribution. There are two known issues with side by side compatibility;
1) crqe.dll has a guid that is the same as that from version 12 (CR 2008). But I have not heard of this causing issues.
2) When developing an app and you have CR 10.5 (bundled with .NET 2008) and CRVS2010, the project will pull in both version 13 and version 10.5 assemblies. See Kb 1544693 and 1544532 for details (use the search box - top right corner of this page). This issue will not impact your side by side install.
As always, it is advisable to test your scenarios before deploying to a production box...

    Have Adobe Captivate 6 (not interested in upgrading)- Struggling to publish a simulation in a format that QMP can pickup - QMP needs a qml file. previous versions had no problem all had tick boxes for QMP in the Quiz - Reporting Settings but this version does not have. If i publish to Flash QMP does not see the file.

    Re:
    The quiz review button is inconsistent - sometimes it shows the ticks and crosses other times it doesn't - did you find a solution? I'd dearly like to be able to tidy up the ticks!

  • Previous versions of drivers; Screensaver Install; Active Protection Icon

    Hello,
    I'm having a few issues and was wondering if someone could offer some assistance. I have a X200 which is running Vista 64-bit OS. I just completed a clean install of Vista-64.
    Issue #1 (old *.scr file) - Is it posible to run my old Lenovo screensaver post-install? I saved it as a *.scr file to an external hard drive before deleting everything but the file will not work on my clean system by just copying it over into the appropriate folder. I get an error messasge when trying to preview it from within screensaver options. Does anyone have an excutable version of the "Think" screensaver (circa 2009/2010)?
    Issue #2 (Previous versions of Lenovo drivers) - In the past it seemed to me that installing new drivers on my system has caused certain components to stop working correctly. For example, after an update to the audio last year, I lost sound to my external speaker and just had audio when plugging in headphones. Does anyone know where I could find previous versions of drivers on a reputable website? Specifically, does anyone have a copy of a previous version (circa 2009-2010) of the Conexant Audio driver/software for Vista (64-bit) for the X200?
    Issue #3 ("ThinkVantage Active Protection") I installed this software and it is working normally. However, although I've selected, "Show active protection icon on the system tray" the icon is not displayed and I would like it to be displayed. Does anyone know what the problem may be? This happened to me before and I think I had to roll back the driver but I cannot do this right now since this is a new clean install.
    Thank you very much for any help you may be able to provide.

    hi.

  • How do I launch a previous version of Illustrator after installing CC

    Need to bring up old licensed copy of Illustrator in order to convert my old Freehand files.

    Dave,
    You can always install a newer version on top of an older one.
    As I understand it (and no less so with CC/CC2014 involved), installing an older version would get you into a mess in connexion with shared files, which would be changed sot they could no longer serve the newer one.
    But if you uninstall the newer/newest, and then start over and install the older/oldest first, you can install the newer/newest (in strict order) afterwards and have the shared files update/upgraded along the way.
    I think they want me to uninstall CC and then reinstall CS3, which is licensed, then use it to convert my files and then uninstall that and reinstall CC, etc.
    I believe they may have been overly woolly and/or unaware of your actual need to keep CS3 for future use.
    You can have all the versions installed, and even running, at the same time. There are some funny things with other applications, such as Acrobat, where you have to let the older one(s) go to have a newer one, or if you wish to keep an older one, abstain from the newer one (choosing whichever is less worse, or even least worst).

  • Do I need to uninstall previous version of Firefox before installing new version?

    I am worrried about installing new version (3.6.13 ) since old version (3.0.15) is working o.k. Can you advise?

    When you install a release version of Firefox (current version is 3.6.15), it will by default replace the existing version. There is no need to uninstall the old version first.

  • Unabe to install, told a previous version is trying to install ???

    i am trying to install firefox on my computer. the install stops everytime at the same stage that there is a previous install in progress. Firefox has been installed in the past. in fact i dont remember uninstalling it. when I look at the control panel to uninstall a program mozilla is not listed. i am stumped not as when i do a search for files related to firefox none are found.
    can you please help.
    regards
    john fitzpatrick

    Go to the Windows Task Manager, look at the "Processes" tab and terminate any running firefox.exe, plugin-container.exe and any install. Then try your install again if you bring up the install from the Firefox downloads then as soon as the install starts bring Firefox down using File > Exit, give it a minute then verify with the WTM that firefox.exe is not running.
    On Windows 7 only, you can bring up the WTM with "Ctrl+Shift+Esc".

  • I uninstalled previous versions of LR and installed the 2015 ver and it will not run. I get an error message; the procedure entry point .............

    I am unable to get LR6 to run. When I try to open the program it gives me an error message "

    If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
    First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
    At the command prompt:
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
    Restart the PC and try another reinstalll.

  • Uninstalling previous versions of CS before installing CS6

    Should I uninstall all of my CS4 programs before upgrading to CS6? If I decide to discontinue my subscription to Creative Cloud, can I reinstall my CS4 programs?
    Thanks,
    Adam

    Honestly you can have both , not a problem , and you can uninstall it as well , doesn't make a difference a big difference
    However , if you plan to uninstall , please de-activate the software first , so that you dont face any problem in future.

  • I cannot link text boxes in Pages 5.0 like I could in previous versions.  Solutions?

    In previous versions of Pages, one could create text boxes and then link them.  This was very useful for creating multi-page booklets with proper pagination, without having to use an expensive publishing software.  Linking of textboxes is no longer available in Pages 5.0.  Does anyone have a work-around for this problem? 

    Pages 5 has over 90+ missing features.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Trash or archive Pages 5 (after exporting any documents back to Pages '09 format) and review it in the App Store.

  • Previous version of Firefox killed Zone Alarm - has this problem been corrected?

    While installing the previous version update of Firefox it showed a box on the screen saying it had found an incompatible file in Zone Alarm Ultimate Security and was deleting it. No further explanation - and no way for me to say 'yes' or 'no'. Sure enough, the ZA panel showed that I was not protected. Unacceptable. Went to IE, with the MS firewall and anti virus, crossed my fingers, toes, eyes etc and got back on line. Finally managed to download Zone Alarm again - took a big chunk out of my monthly Verizon data allowance. Switched to Chrome, it plays nicely with ZA, but I would much rather use Firefox. So - has this foul-up been corrected. Is it safe to come back to Firefox? May 23, 2014

    Thanks for the explanation - and I must admit, somewhat more polite than my post. I don't want to have to again go through the trauma of having to keep my firewall/anti-virus program working properly, I guess I'm stuck with Chrome.

  • Can I uninstall previous versions of Adobe Apps in my creative cloud and still use the current 2014 versions of the same apps.

    I want to stream line the amount of applications on my MAC. I currently have the CS6, CC, and CC2014 version of the Adobe applications. Can I uninstall the CS6 and CC versions and still run the CC2014 version without any issues?

    Jim Fournier yes you can uninstall the previous versions.  Please see Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html for additional details.

  • Uninstall previous versions?

    Should I uninstall all previous versions of Lightroom after installing the CC version. I use a new catalog for every session, so I don’t have one huge catalog in each version.

    Size of the catalog has no bearing on your question. If you want to delete the older versions of Lightroom you can because they are not something that a newer version relies on. But I'm glad it's you who are doing the upgrading your situation. If you are keeping all those old catalogs every one of them will have to be converted to the new CC catalog format. I can't imagine why you would ever want to start a new catalog with every session.

  • Cannot install firefox 8.0.1 or a previous version on windows 7.

    after extracting the .exe file, it asks which user to run the program under, and then just goes away i.e. - nothing happens at all. i have tried uninstalling my previous version of firefox before installing firefox 8, but the problem persists. now even the older version of firefox is showing the same 'symptom' & refusing to install. there are no error messages popping up or anything.

    You can try to fix this problem by reseting your firefox. For more instruction, you can see this Article.
