Crystal Report 2008 Installation Failed - Registering modules

HI Folks
I'm trying to install Crystal Report 2008 on XP Pro SP2. The installation stop on Registering Modules, even if I click Cancel,
it does not do anything it just hang there. I have to kill the process in Task Manager. If I restarted the installation,
it says that I have already an installtion process running. So I have to reboot and then restart the installation,
now it says that it will continue a previous uncompleted installation. But it hangs again at Registering Modules.
It does not even stop at the same file. I have done this process several time with always the same result.
Each time it stops on a different file but always during the Registering Modules process.

As well as that make sure you are a local PC administrator or belong to that group. Also check Microsoft's site to make sure you have the latest Microsoft Installer. I believe there is a test tool to check your PC.
Do you know what version of CR 2008 you have? There should be a ProductId.txt file to confirm the version. SP 3 should fully support DEP so if you don't have it download it from this [link|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009989492010E/cr2008_sp3_fullbuild.zip].
Then it should get past Microsoft's security. If it's your Anti-V as Stratos suggests then only option is to disconnect from the network and disable it, install and the reconnect.
The other common registration issue is due to missing dependencies or possibly updated dependencies that CR found but can't use. Some of our dependencies are specific versions.
Thank you

Crystal Reports 2008 installation fails

I recently re-installed Windows XP SP3 on my laptop and need to re-install Crystal Reports 2008.
I place the installation CD into the drive and the Auto-run application starts up and asks for the language to install.
I select English and click on the Install button.
After about 10 seconds I get a very cryptic error message.
Crystal Reports 2008 Setup Error
Crystal Reports Setup 2008 has failed.
If the problem persists, please contact Business Objects Product Support.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

It's likely a dependency issue. Make sure the .NET frame 1.1 and 2.0 are installed. GO to Microsofts site or possibly they are an option in the update page.
Thank you

Export from Crystal Reports 2008 viewer fails if run on separate thread

I have a windows desktop application written in Visual Basic using Visual Studio 2008. I have installed and am trying Crystal Reports 2008 to run a report. Everything seems to work well except that when I preview a report (using the viewer control) and click the export button found in the upper left corner of that control, I get the following message:
Error 5: Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode before OLE calls can be made. Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it. This exception is only raised if a debugger is attached to the process.
I am a little confused on what to do exactly. Is the problem because I am running in the Visual Studio 2008 IDE? It says this exception is only raise if a debugger is attached to the process. No, I tried running it outside the IDE. The exception wasn't generated but the application hung when the button was clicked.
It says the current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode. If the report is run on its own thread, is the "current" thread the thread the report is running on or is the main application's UI thread? I don't think I want to set my main application to single thread apartment mode because it is a multi-threaded application (although I really don't know for sure because I am new to multi-threaded programming).
My objective is to allow reports to run asynchronously so that the user can do other things while it is being generated. Here is the code I use to do this:
    ' Previews the report using a new thread (asynchronously)
    Public Sub PreviewReportAsynch(ByVal sourceDatabase As clsMainApplicationDatabase)
        Dim backgroundProcess As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
        ' Start a new thread to run this report.
        backgroundProcess = New System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
        Using (backgroundProcess)
            ' Wire the function we want to run to the 'do work' event.
            AddHandler backgroundProcess.DoWork, AddressOf PreviewReportAsynch_Start
            ' Kick off the report asynchronously and return control to the calling process
            backgroundProcess.RunWorkerAsync(sourceDatabase)
        End Using
    End Sub
    Private Sub PreviewReportAsynch_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs)
        ' The source database needed to call preview report was passed as the only argument
        Call PreviewReport(CType(e.Argument, clsMainApplicationDatabase))
    End Sub
    ' Previews the report. From the preview window, the user can print it.
    Public Function PreviewReport(ByVal sourceDatabase As clsMainApplicationDatabase) As FunctionEndedResult
        Dim errorBoxTitle As String
        Dim frmPreview As frmReportPreview
        ' Setup error handling
        errorBoxTitle = "Preview " & Name & " Report"
        PreviewReport = FunctionEndedResult.FAILURE
        On Error GoTo PreviewError
        ' Set up the crxReport object
        If InitializeReportProcess(sourceDatabase) <> FunctionEndedResult.SUCCESS Then
            GoTo PreviewExit
        End If
        ' Use the preview form to preview the report
        frmPreview = New frmReportPreview
        frmPreview.Report = crxReport
        frmPreview.ShowDialog()
        ' Save any settings that should persist from one run to the next
        Call SavePersistentSettings()
        ' If we got this far everything is OK.
        PreviewReport = FunctionEndedResult.SUCCESS
PreviewExit:
        ' Do any cleanup work
        Call CleanupReportProcess(sourceDatabase)
        Exit Function
PreviewError:
        ' Report error then exit gracefully
        ErrorBox(errorBoxTitle)
        Resume PreviewExit
    End Function
The variable crxReport is of type ReportDocument and the windows form called 'frmPreview' has only 1 control, the crystal reports viewer.
The print button on the viewer works fine. Just the export button is failing. Any ideas?

Hi Trevor.
Thank you for the reply. The report document is create on the main UI thread of my application. The preview form is created and destroyed on the separate thread. For reasons I won't get into, restructuring the code to move all the initialization stuff inside the preview form is not an option (OK, if you a really curious, I don't always preview a report, sometimes I print and/or export it directly which means the preview form isn't used).
What I learned through some other research is that there are some things (like COM calls and evidently some OLE automation stuff) that cannot be run on a thread that uses the MTA threading model.   The export button probably uses some of this technology, thus the message stating that an STA threading model is required. I restructured the code as follows to accomodate this requirement. Here is a sample:
' Previews the report using a new thread (asynchronously)
    Public Sub PreviewReportAsynch(ByVal sourceDatabase As clsMainApplicationDatabase)
        Dim staThread As System.Threading.Thread
        ' Start the preview report function on a new thread
        staThread = New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf PreviewReportAsynchStep1)
        staThread.SetApartmentState(System.Threading.ApartmentState.MTA)
        staThread.Start(sourceDatabase)
    End Sub
    Private Sub PreviewReportAsynchStep1(ByVal sourceDatabase As Object)
        Dim staThread As System.Threading.Thread
        ' Initialize report preview. This includes staging any data and configuring the
        ' crystal report document object for use by the crystal report viewer control.
        If InitializeReportProcess(DirectCast(sourceDatabase, clsMainApplicationDatabase)) = FunctionEndedResult.SUCCESS Then
            ' Show the report to the user. This must be done on an STA thread so we will
            ' start another of that type. See description of PreviewReportAsynchStep2()
            staThread = New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf PreviewReportAsynchStep2)
            staThread.SetApartmentState(System.Threading.ApartmentState.STA)
            staThread.Start(mcrxReport)
            ' Wait for step 2 to finish. This blocks the current thread, but this thread
            ' isn't the main UI thread and this thread has no UI anymore (the progress
            ' form was closed) so it won't matter that is it blocked.
            staThread.Join()
            ' Save any settings that should persist from one successful run to the next
            Call SavePersistentSettings()
        End If
        ' Release the crystal report
        Call CleanupReportProcess(DirectCast(sourceDatabase, clsMainApplicationDatabase))
    End Sub
    ' The preview form must be launched on a thread that use the single-threaded apartment (STA) model.
    ' Threads use the multi-threaded apartment (MTA) model by default. This is necessary to make the
    ' export and print buttons on the preview form work. They do not work when running on a
    ' thread using MTA.
    Public Sub PreviewReportAsynchStep2(ByVal crxInitializedReport As Object)
        Dim frmPreview As frmReportPreview
        ' Use the preview form to preview the report. The preview form contains the crystal reports viewer control.
        frmPreview = New frmReportPreview
        frmPreview.Report = DirectCast(crxInitializedReport, ReportDocument)
        frmPreview.ShowDialog()
    End Sub

Crystal report 2008 installation on top of BO XI R2

Hi,
      I would like to install the Crystal Reports 2008 with SP3 and Xcelsius2008 on top of BO XI R2 Version.
      Is there any disadvantage by doing this activity on XI R2?
      Could you please tell me the installation steps for crystal report 2008 and Xcelsius2008 on top of Business Objects.
Regards,
Sridharan

Nope.
Coz every tool installation has different Setup files.
You can install CR2008, Xcelsius 2008 etc..., on top of BOE. No issues.
Only it matters which datasources you have and it needs Integration kits also.
I-Steps: Follow and give text , Keycodes etc wherever it asks, nothing more.
Thank You!!

[Crystal Reports 2008] - Logon failed in SAP system

Hi everybody,
I have installed on my notebook Crystal Reports 2008 trial version and the Integration Kit for SAP Solutions that I found on this web page: https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/18962
When I try to open a SAP Data Source, Crystal Reports finds the connections I have in my SAPLogon and ask me credential infos. I get the following credential error:
"You do not have the necessary rights to design reports against the SAP System"
The user I enter has full administration right on the system, which is a SAP R/3 Enterprise.
Thanks,
Valerio

Hello Valerio,
Please make sure you install the corresponding transports for the Driver you are trying to use in Crystal Reports.
The transports are available on the SAP Integration Solution CD.
thanks

Crystal Reports 2008 Installation Error

Hi,
I have bought CR 2008 from third-party vendor online. I am trying to install it on my Laptop (Windows XP SP3).
It asks for Language (selected English). Then after accepting License Agreement and entering Product KeyCode, Typical Installation option is selected.
System then checks for disk space requirements and after that it starts installing the CrystalReports. After few minutes the installation is hanged.
On screen I see that at the time of freezing it was registering modules like shortcut.dll or pdf.dll or LicenseKey.dll etc..Everytime I try to install it is different dll when installtion is stopped. I have waited for couple of hours hoping that installtion will be complete but it never finishes.
I have tried so many times but every time it freezes when it tries to register some dll.
I have then downloaded trial version from the Web and tried to install from there, but again I'm getting the same result.
Any help in resolving this issue is very much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
I assume you are trying to install the CR Designer 2008 V0 package. Unfortunately this is not compatible with Windows XP SP3. Talk to the online vendor and request the CR Designer 2008 V1 package (you can use the same poduct code to activate it).

Crystal Reports 2008 - Error 1904 - DLLs will not register

I have just tried to install Crystal Reports 2008 on a PC which is running on XP Professional 2002 (Service Pack 3) and none of the DDLs will register. I have administrator privileges on the local PC.
I could possibly try to register the DLLs manually but I don't understand why they won't register automatically.
I would really appreciate some assistance with this.

Install .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0 and then any patches Windows has for them.
Install the C++ runtime distribution from Microsoft, search MS's site for it, they have multiple links for each OS.
Download the latest Microsoft installer, you can go to MS's web site to get it.
Check with your IT department to make sure they have not pushed out a "modified" administrator Profile to your PC. Open up regedit.exe and confirm you can change any key in Current User and Software and anything. Be sure to copy the original so you can right the value back and the usual warnings about modifying the registry.
Download CR 2008 SP1 full build: https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006555792009E/cr2008win_sp1.exe ( requires and un-install of existing CR 2008 if any are on your PC )
Before running CR 2008 Install SP 3: https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
You could also try Disabling DEP, right click on My Computer, Properties, Advanced tab and Data Execution Prevention and make sure it's set to windows Processes only. Requires a re-boot if changed.
Disable any and all anti-virus and local firewalls, copy everything local and disconnect your network cable so you don't get anything nasty and try again.
If none of the above works then try someone elses computer, your system may be beyond repairing and could require an FDISK and starting all over.

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?)

Invalid export DLL or export format" with Crystal Reports 2008 to Excel xls

We are experiencing the same issue as reported in the sticky thread. I answered in that thread, but thought that I woudl open a new thread to keep track of this issue. I can give you the responses to your questions you have requested in that thread:
Server Operating System - MS Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP2
Version of the .NET Framework - MS .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
How did you deploy? - Installed CR 2008 SP1 runtime with msi package
If you deployed with CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi - what was the date of the file and its size? CRRuntime_12_1_mlb.msi dated Sept. 16, 2008 12:55:00 PM, size: 56,717,824 bytes
What is the file version of crpe32.dll on your server? You'll find this in the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory - File was created 9/13/08 11:21AM, 9451KB File Version: 12.1.0.882
How many libpng10.dll files are on your system? List all instances. - 1 instance is on the system located in C;\Program Files\Business Objects\Business Objects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory. It is dated 9/13/08 8:52:26AM 132KB version 1.0.30.1
Any additional comments - We have tried to export to PDF and this works successfully. However, we can not export to xls or rft formats.
CRXF_XLS.dll is 905KB 9/13/08 9:38AM Version 12.1.0.882
CRXF_RTF.dll is 509KB 9/13/08 9:35AM Version 12.1.0.882
We also have the CR XIR2 server runtime installed side by side on the server as we migrate from CR 2008 to CR XIR2 SP4 ( where this function does work currently).
Please let me know if you need anything additional.

I've included this sticky because we are seeing many posts in this forum regarding the error Invalid export DLL or export format when exporting to Excel and RTF in .NET applications using the Crystal Reports 2008 .NET SDK.
Issue
Exporting a Crystal Report to Excel or RTF format
.NET application using the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (version 12.0)
error Invalid export DLL or export format
We've been doing some testing in-house and haven't reproduced this behavior. In order to figure this issue out we will need your help. If you are getting this error please reply to this post with the following information:
Server Operating System
Version of the .NET Framework
How did you deploy?
If you deployed with CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi - what was the date of the file and its size?
What is the file version of crpe32.dll on your server? You'll find this in the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory
How many libpng10.dll files are on your system? List all instances.
Any additional comments
What We Know
The error invalid export DLL or export format may occur when exporting to Excel and RTF formats in .NET applications utilizing the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (v 12.0)
Other export formats like Adobe PDF, Crystal Reports, CSV all export with no error
Some customers have resolved this by adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to their environment path variables
This may have something to do with the file libpng10.dll. Both crxf_xls.dll and crxf_rtf.dll are dependent on it.
Thanks in advance for your co-operation. We hope to figure out what is causing this issue soon.

Hi,
I am also having the same problem, except that I am not using Crystal Report 2008 runtime but the actual Crystal Report 2008 installation on Windows XP SP2 with VS Studio 2005 (VC++). MS .NET Framework 2.0.
Cyrstal Report XIR2 was installed on the same machine but uninstalled before installing Crystal Report 2008.
So only one instance of libpng10.dll and found in C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
Crpe32.dll        3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
Crxf_xls.dll       3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
Crxf_rtf.dll         3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
crdb_oracle.dll 3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
libpng10.dll       3/1/2008 version 1.0.30.0             122880 bytes
There is no problem for exporting to pdf, html, word, csv, Crystal Report. If I create a testing report without any data from database, the testing report can then be exported also to rtf and xls.
Oracle 11.1.0.6 is the DB for the reports.
Adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to the path did not resolve my problem.
Any idea to fix this issue?
Thanks

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.

Error on installation (Crystal Reports 2008 and Windows 7)

Hello,
I'm trying to install Crystal Reports 2008 on a Windows 7 laptop. Receiving Error 1904, Module C:\PROGRAM FILES\BUSINESS OBJECTS\BUSINESSOBJECTS ENTERPRISE 12.0\win32_x86\ReportConvTool.dll failed to register. This seems like a premissions error, but I have full admin rights on this system.
We are starting training next week and I need to get the software installed.
Any help you can provide would be great!
Thanks!

I have been looking and found the exact error above.
So 2 of us have it but as yet there is not a fix.
I understand that SP3 will help, but my problem at this second is I can not get the productr toload for the first time.
Thus I do not think I can apply SP3.
Or (which is possilbe) am I wrong
I will give it a go
Thanks

Crystal Reports 2008 Setup Has Failed

Post Author: MWheeler
CA Forum: Upgrading and Licensing
I get a setup error as soon as I hit "install" on the English upgrade to 2008 on my Windows Xp Sp2 machine. I am running XI developer edition on this machine. The Window title for the error message is "Crystal Reports 2008 Setup Error" and the text is "Crystal Reports 2008 Setup has failed. If this continues contact http:
support.businessobjects.com". I tried to open a Support case on this, but the Create a Case screen didn't have anyplace to enter any data at all and ended up just timing out.

I have got the same error message.
I was unable to uninstall the program from the control panel.
Try to install Windows Installer CleanUp software, and uninstall with this program the previous version on Crystal Reports.
