Crystal 2008 Runtimes Upgrade

Previously, using InstallShield, I have installed the original version of the Crystal 2008 Runtimes as a prerequiisite to my application. I am now looking to deploy a new version of my application and with this I would like to include the SP1 (Fix pack 1.7) Runtimes version. I have downloaded the redistributable installer (CRRuntime_12_1_mlb.exe) but this does not upgrade the existing Crystal installation instead shows a message saying that the original version must be uninstalled first.
Can anyone tell me if there is a different installer that can be used to upgrade an existing installation of the runtimes?
Cheers,
Chris

Hi, Chris;
Our runtime file installs have always been designed to not allow the "upgrade" option. You will need to uninstall the previous install first.
Regards,
Jonathan

Crystal 2008 Runtime error on Windows Server 2008

I have a simple ASP.Net web applications that is using reports developed in Crystal 2008. My server OS is Windows Server 2008 and has the Crystal 2008 SP1 runtime controls installed. When I run the application it works fine until I actually try to run the report. As the paremeter screen is attempting to load I am getting several script errors on the page.
_de is undefined, object not specified, bobj is undefinded are the major messages. I have researched for several hours and have had no success. I have come to the conclusion that the web page does not know where to find the .js and .css crystal files or does not have the correct permissions to access the files.
One thing that I found online and tried was to add a line of code in the HTML that specified the script as java and the location of the JS file for the viewer. This helped but still had errors.
BTW....This application runs fine on a Windows Server 2003 SP2 OS.
Anyone had the same issue? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Forgot to mention my development environment is VS 2008.

Crystal 2008 runtime backward compatibility

Hi All,
I am in need of a little help. I am looking for a listing of what crystal runtime versions are supported running on the same client workstation. I have a .NET app that uses Crystal 2008, during testing I placed my App on a Client machine that uses another App that uses Crystal 7.
I am getting an error when running my App that uses CR 2008, error saying that runtime cannot find my u2lcom.dll.
I find that the Crystal 7 runtime places a copy of the u2lcom.dll in the System folder and that if I rename this file, my App with CR 2008 runs fine, but the old App that uses CR 7 does not.
Are these runtimes not meant to run on the same machine?
I would appreciate any help on this.
Thank you in advance.

And to add to Jonathans notes in CR 7 most of our runtime was in a folder called \windows\crystal. Back then there wasn't much control over where developers could put the runtime. Some took the easy route and simply copied them all into the \windows\system32 folder. Not a good practice as you have discovered.
The way CR looks for the runtime is beginning in the Icon's working folder, then in the \system32 folder then down the PATH statement. By moving them all to the applications folder they are sure to be found by the hosting application. This include crpe32.dll which we put into the \system32 folder, move it to the app's folder also.
And because CR 7 did not support side by side it's also recommended that you put in version checking to make sure the correct version of crpe32.dll is being loaded. May be too late for the CR 7 app to do this so it may have problems.
Also, u2lcom.dll is the bridge dll that allows custom COM UFL's ( VB UFL - crufl*.dll ) connect to CR.

Alignment issues after Crystal 2008 SP1 upgrade

We are upgrading PeopleSoft tools from 8.49 to 8.50.11, for HR ver 9.0 and Crystal from ver 9 to ver 2008 SP1.
Many of our Crystal reports that are run through the Process Scheduler into Excel are now having formatting issues such as headers wrapping vertically within a column, or extra rows/columns being added.
Some cells in excel are merged and headings shifted over into another cell not lining up with the fields they belong to.
We have run the Crystal conversion utility that came with the upgrade, but report are still not lining up. Has anyone experienced this and is there a solution.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Did you check with Peoplesoft if they support the upgrade? Since this is a PS issue please post your question to Peoplesoft support. They are an OEM Partner and will ask Support if they have any issues.
Thank you

Word issues with upgradeing reports built in 10 to crystal 2008

We have a bunch of reports that were built and running with 10. We are trying to upgrade our servers to run with crystal 2008. The reports built in 10 have been working when run with the crystal 2008 runtime. With the exception of a problem when opening a report in word. I have figured out if I change the page set up in word to be landscape the report will now show fine. Also if i edit the actual rpt to be much narrower than the original, it will execute correctly in word. Has anyone else had this problem? Word will run very slow and there will be blank pages in between a multi page document.

Hi Bill,
Not sure what version you are using, get SP1. In the report designer if you got the Page Setup options try checking on Dissociate Formatting Page....
If you are using RAS and SP1 you can do this in code something like this:
System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument pDoc = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();
PrintReportOptions rasPROpts = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptionsClass();
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions MYPRTOpts = new PrintOptionsClass();
if (rdoCurrent.Checked)
                pDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
                MYPRTOpts.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
                MYPRTOpts.PaperSize = (CrPaperSizeEnum)
                         pDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes[cboCurrentPaperSizes.SelectedIndex].Kind;
                MYPRTOpts.PaperSource = (CrPaperSourceEnum)
                         pDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSources[cboCurrentPaperTrays.SelectedIndex].Kind;
     // added the below line to verify the changes work.
                MYPRTOpts.PaperOrientation = CrPaperOrientationEnum.crPaperOrientationLandscape;
                // new API added to allow changing printing options
                MYPRTOpts.DissociatePageSizeAndPrinterPaperSize = true;
                MYPRTOpts.PageMargins.Left = 1;
                MYPRTOpts.PageMargins.Right = 1;
                MYPRTOpts.PageMargins.Top = 1;
                MYPRTOpts.PageMargins.Bottom = 1;
Thank you

Crystal 2008 SP3 - incremental or cumulative?

Hi Experts,
Our software packages include pre-requisites like .Net runtime and Crystal 2008 runtime (among others). We currently have Crystal 2008 CRRuntime_12_1_mlb.msi as a pre-requisite. Our next major release requires Crystal 2008 SP3 as a pre-requisite. I have the CRRuntime_12_3_mlb.msi file which is SP3 for Crystal 2008. Do I still need to have the base Crystal 2008 runtime in the packages or does Crystal 2008 SP3 include previous service packs?
I.e. do our customers need to install Crystal 2008 base, Crystal 2008 SP1, Crystal 2008 SP2 and then Crystal 2008 SP3? Are these service packs cumulative?
If it helps, the CRRuntime_12_3_mlb.msi file is 58211KB in size, where the CRRuntime_12_1_mlb.msi is 42557KB.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Alicia,
You should only need to use one of the runtime MSIs when updating your deployment package. If you're moving to CRRuntime_12_3_mlb.msi, then you do not need the CRRuntime_12_1_mlb.msi.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

Deploying Crystal Reports 2008 runtimes without using MSI/MSM

Post Author: windentdev
CA Forum: Deployment
We are having multiple issues with using the MSI or the Merge module to deploy the 2008 runtimes.
Specifically, one of the issues is that PrintControll.dll will not register and causes the runtime package to fail.
How can we deploy these run times w/o using the MSI or merge module??
We just upgraded from Crystal Reports 11.5 and this is becoming a burden to our project. Are there any whitepapers on what is needed or any other instruction that may assist us in a sucessful deployment of these runtimes?

Post Author: Justin Azevedo
CA Forum: Deployment
I eventually found the problem. I used depends to trace the printcontrol.dll and found that it requires msvcr71.dll to be installed in the system folder. This is a Visual C++ 7.1 (.net 2003) library. It looks like Business Objects forgot to put this into their runtime installer. That is why it works on some computers and not others. Some computers have this dll file installed as part of other software (including other crystal reports versions). I created a patch installer that basically drops this dll file into the system folder. Once that is done, then the runtime installs correctly.
If you would like to recreate this problem, try installing the CR2008 runtime (MM, EXE, or compact) on a FRESH copy of Windows. It will error out everytime.
If anyone reading this would like my patch, please send me an email.

Runtime for VS2008 & Crystal 2008

I'm upgrading my applications from VB6 and CR8.5 to VS2008 and CR2008. I have made a test application in VS2008VB and finally got the thing to working on my computer. I then tried on another computer that didn't have CR2008 installed and it wouldn't work. I need to have this capability with VS2008 and CR2008 in order to finish the conversion. Several CR reports have already been converted and can no longer be displayed with the VB6 program. What do I need to do?
I have worked on this issue for a week and need to get it resolved quickly.
thanks for your cooperation and support

Not sure if this will bring you the answer(s) you are looking for.
The MSDN for Visual Studio 2008 has a Crystal Reports Deployment.
The following is the link to the information within MSDN Document Browser: ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.v90.en/crystlmn/html/topic405.htm
Section: Crystal Reports Runtime Components
In Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio, you can use .msi files for both ClickOnce deployment and Windows Installer deployment. The .msi file contains the components that enable clients to view applications that use Crystal Reports. If you use the .msi file on the target machine, the Windows Installer provides the Crystal Reports runtime files that are required by a deployment project. The .msi files are included with the Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio installation.
The following are the .msi files used in Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008.
Runtime
Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 (x86)
Location of MSI C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\CrystalReports10_5\CRRedist2008_x86.msi
Runtime
Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 (x64)
Location of MSI : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\CrystalReports10_5\CRRedist2008_x64.msi
Runtime
Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 (IA64)
Location of MSI : C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Crystal Reports\CRRedist\IA64\CRRedist2008_ia64.msi
Section: Common Language Runtime
To deploy Visual Studio .NET applications, the .NET Framework must be installed on the target computer, before you install the deployment project. When you create a deployment project, the .NET Framework is not included by default
Note
Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 supports the .Net 3.0 and 3.5 framework.
You can find the .NET Framework on the Visual Studio .NET Windows Components Update CD or from the Microsoft Web site. From the CD, the .NET Framework installer (an .exe file), can be redistributed with the deployment project.
Note
Ensure that your version of .NET Framework matches the runtime.
For ClickOnce deployment, you can include the correct version of the .NET Framework as a prerequisite setup to the published Web Site.

Mike Gouders

Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime, Windows Server 2008 64-Bit AND SharePoint2007

Hi Guys,
here i'm again.
Well I'm developing on a 32-Bit OS with Crystal Reports 2008. I've deployed my solution to SharePoint, but when i try to call a report in the aspx-Website i get the following error:
Exception Details: CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.LoadSaveReportException: An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime. Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient, or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly. Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi) containing the correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64, or Itanium) required. Please go to http://www.businessobjects.com/support for more information.
Here are the technical details:
- Windows Server 2008 (64Bit)
- IIS7
- Microsoft Office Server 2008 (64Bit)
- Crystal Reports 2008 SP3
I've read, that there isn't a 64-Bit runtime version of CR2008. Then i tryed the two following suggestions i found in this forum:
1. Try to run the IIS-Application-Pool in 32-Bit-Mode -> This don't work, because SharePoint then throws a "Internal Server Error - Code 500" (no SharePoint Sites are available).
2. Try to compile the Visual Studio Project as 32-Bit -> This don't work, because SharePoint could not load the assembly
Well, are there any other hints, suggestions or experiences how i could get this to work?
Thanks in advance,
Christian

Crystal Reports 2008 runtime error while running on Windows Server X64

I have a .NET web application compiled as X86 in Visual Studio 2008 invoking Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 that's running fine at a number of sites running Windows Server 2003 X86.

When deploying this app to Windows Server 2008 X64 I get the error message below. 

I'm aware that there is an unanswered question similar to this already in the forum but my application is compiled for X86 and I've tryed installing a variety of run times including "crruntime_12_2_mlb.msi" and "crredist2008_x86.msi".

What combination of compile and run time is needed to get around this issue?

Thanks.

See [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567] wiki. I think I may not have that wiki updated up to FP2.5, so the FP2.5 msm is here:

Error in Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime Version = 12.2.3.467

Dear Support Team
 
 
I am making the setup for our application using InstallShield 2010.
 
 
I recently updated the crystal reports 2008 runtime to version = 12.2.3.467.
 
 
Based on this article
 
 
 
 
Topic of the week (October 15, 2009)
 
Date time field is blank when using ADO .NET dataset and Crystal Reports 2008, Service Pack 2.0
 
This is a new issue, very specific to CR 2008 and SP 2. Date time fields are stripped out of a report (or not
 
visible), if a report is consuming a .NET dataset which contains a date time field. A technical escalation has been
 
submitted and a work-around is detailed in note number 1392258
 
 
 
Since DateTime Column was not getting displayed in the deployment machine when running the report.
 
 
So I downloaded the Crystal Report 2008 FP2.3 and merge module for the same and installed on my development machine
 
 
where I am making the Setup.
 
 
I am able to make the setup successfully without errors, but when I try to install the setup on the deployment machine I am getting
 
the errors as
 
 
Error 1904.Module C:\Program Files\BusinessObjects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\CEReportSource.dll
 
failed to register
 
Same message pops up for N number of Crystal Dlls with message failed to register.
 
Even though as per article in your forums I am doing everything right.
 
I have correct Dll for VC++ 2005
 u2022
 
Microsoft_VC80_ATL_x86.msm; version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
u2022 Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
u2022 Microsoft_VC80_MFCLOC_x86.msm; version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
u2022 Microsoft_VC80_MFC_x86.msm; version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
u2022 Microsoft_VC80_OpenMP_x86.msm; version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
With exactly same versions as mentioned in the article.
 
 
I followed the article in your forum
 
Building a deployment project with Crystal Reports 2008 (12.1.0.892) SP1
 
Posted on Mar. 09, 2009 08:22 AM in Business Objects
 
The same sort of errors is coming but I am doing everything right as per that article.
 
 
To Inform you further before updating crystal reports 2008 runtime to version = 12.2.3.467.
 
 
Everything was working fine, only problem was that Date Time column was not displaying at runtime on the deployment
 
 
machine.

Dear Mr. Williams
I dont think this is the issue related to MS Installer. Still based on your suggestion I downloaded the latest MS Installer from Microsoft Website and Installed on my setup machine and made the new setup with zero errors and warning.
The deployment machine is having full rights and so there is no security issues related to installation even though to clear the confusion I installed the setup on three other xp machines the result was same even after installing the latest MS installer on those machines as well.
I wanrt to remind it again since I was facing the DATE TIME column Issue problem in reports on deployment machines so I updated the Crystal Reports TO CRFP 2.3 EXE AND MSM as mentioned in your forums regarding this known bug that if datetime column is getting from dataset then that column was not getting displayed.
From that time onwards I am unable to install the setup on the deployment machines and I am getting errors unable to register errors crystal reports dlls.
Apart from that I downloaded Crystal Reports 2008 Fix Pack 2.3 - Redist Install (cr2008_fp23_redist.zip) from the download page but i can't open it I am gettinig the error message doesnt appear to be a valid archive.
Please help me and provide me some solution regardeing the issue I am stuck with.
With Regards

Subreport doesn't work when upgrading from Crystal 7 to Crystal 2008

I am using a subreport, whose input parameter is input to the Stored procedure.
This used to work fine in Crystal 7. But now we upgraded to crystal 2008.
The same code throws an exception. can any one please help?
Here is the piece of code of stored proc
ALTER PROCEDURE SUMMARYACTIVITY(@HcpID varchar(8)) AS
BEGIN
SELECT @HcpID, RX_PROD_ID, RX_PROD_DESCR, DATE_REP_TERR, NOTE, SAMP_VOUCHER, DISP_ORDER FROM #SUMACT ORDER BY DISP_ORDER DESC, RX_PROD_DESCR ASC
END
even as simple as select @hcpID is throwing exception.
I have another stored proc.
ALTER PROCEDURE PRODSUMMARY (@HCP_ID VARCHAR(8)) AS
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE #PDSUM
          HCP_ID               CHAR(8) NOT NULL,
          RX_PRODID          CHAR(4) NOT NULL,
INSERT INTO #PDSUM (HCP_ID, RX_PRODID,...)
SELECT
                    @HCP_ID, V.PROD_ID,.....from vw_pcp v
SELECT      HCP_ID, RX_PRODID, ..... from #pdsum
END
This works in crystal 7 and 2008.

Hi
Just a few points.
1. Are you opening the existing report (Created in CR 7) in Crystal 2008?
2. If yes,I would suggest you to create a new report based on the same stored procedure.Create a new DSN for the database that you are using and the create a report based on that DSN and pointing to the mentioned Stored Procedure.

Upgraded to Crystal 2008 - one of my reports now has no data

Upgraded to Crystal 2008, now at (12.3.0.601).
However one of my reports (which was previously developed in Crystal X1) is now coming up blank.
I've tested the data on the previous system and the report comes back correctly so there is not an issue with data.
The report is built using XML Schema files and assigning the datasource from VS2008.
When the application is built with Crystal X1, this works fine.
I've refreshed the report using crystal 2008 but no good.
Other reports which use SP's as the source are working fine!
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the quick response.
What I mean by 'I refreshed the report in Crystal 2008' is that I opened the report in Crystal 2008 and verified it.
I did not have to do this with the other reports.
I cannot test this in the designer as the data gets assigned from the application.
However, the old version of the report with the same data works fine.
Note - there are no error message. The report displays with no data.
There are no code change made so everything points to the report which is strange.
Other reports work correctly but this one is different as it uses XML source.
Thanks.

Where do the Crystal 2008 SP1 runtime files reside on a machine?

Crystal XI runtime files could be located in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\bin folder
Where are the Crystal 2008 SP1 runtime files located?
Thank you

They are in: C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
Each version will be a new location so that Side by side installs do not over write other major version dll's.

Hi David,
Can you verify you are using Crystal Reports 2008 Developer or CR for .NET 200x? Different runtime distribution files for each.
This looks like it could be a permission issue. First thing we do is copy our key code dll to the hard drive and register it. If that fails then the install will indicate it's invalid.
Make sure you are logged in as the local PC Administrator and that you have full access to the system, sometimes IT departments modify the Admin profile.
Also that DEP is set to Essential Services only, search forums for more info on Data execution prevention on how to configure.
Thank you
