Crystal Report 2013 sp4 installation errors

Hi all,
I am encountering error in the last phase of the installation where the wizard is spending around 20 minutes and then displaying "installation encountered errors"
I tried installing on the dedicated VM. the installation is encountering problems. reviewing the installation log, it seems the central management Server CMS, is unable to start.
I tried solving the problem by:
- redownloading the installation package
- disabling the windows firewall
- Installing SQL server and using it instead of the SQL bundled with the crystal report server
- Changing default port of CMS during installation
nothing seems to solve this issue. please help! is there anything missing?

Hello Tony,
In addition to this, kinldy turn off Antivirus protection if is there.
Simillar issues are documented with its resolution in below forum, please go through it.

Can someone screenshot of these steps and please suggest if something else can be done.

Hi Pawan,
Search for the error and you should see many threads for this issue.
Anyway, this is what I found:

Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 Installation Error

Howdy Folks...
I have been trying to install the SP2 for Crystal Reports.
I get the following error...
"The installaion source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it."
Running the downloaded file, unpacks the contents, starts the installer, then the error message is displayed.
System is with Windows Vista SP2
Your help and advice is needed...
Thanks,
Jim

Yes, mapping the network drive on the install PC works, technically. Unfortunately, it doesn't resolve my core problem for two reasons.
1. I'm trying to make the install procedure as touchless as possible for an install base of potentially hundreds of users. Having them all map a network drive would defeat the purpose.
2. I oversimplified the explanation of my situation to make the question easier to ask. We actually have a home-grown, web-based client software distribution tool from which I'm trying to setup the installation. The network drive, and generally all details of the installation are transparent to the installer, so that's another strike against mapping the network drive.
Here's the command line script (nothing fancy) and the code of the supplemental .ini file that I'm using. (This assumes that the self-extracting Crystal SP2 file has already been extracted and that I'm working directly with the setup.exe, setup.ini, and package files.)
And to reiterate, this scripting procedure has worked like a charm for Xcelsius SP3 and Crystal SP1. It just falls flat on its face for Crystal SP2
Batch Script:
setup.exe -r Crystal2008SP2.ini
Crystal2008SP2.ini:

Crystal Reports Server 2008 Installation Error

Good day,
My name is Dominic Hung and I work at Business Objects. One of my clients is coming across an installation error on their evaluation of CRS 2008 and is detailed as follows:
They currently have the actual report writer (Crystal Reports 2008) on a desktop PC. It's not installed on the server.
We have the MySQL ODBC loaded on the local desktop as well as the server that is hosting CR2008 Server.
The credentials (userid/password) used in both the desktop and server's ODBC configuration is READ ONLY.
During the installation wizard for CR2008 Server, I key in the userid & password that I use when we create reports, but I receive an error stating that
CMS database error: STU000226
BusinessObjects Enterprise CMS: Unable to connect to the CMS system database "esc:10.127.214.22:3306". Reason: Database access error. Reason access denied for user 'jdcherry'@'% to database 'esc'
This is where everything stops and they can't go further. They are not sure why they are receiving the "access denied" error as shown above. They have no problem connecting to the MySQL database when they create a report using CR2008, the CR2008 SERVER won't accept my credentials during the installation.
QUESTIONS:
The "jdcherry" UserID (which I use) is READ ONLY on the MySQL database that's hosted on the Linux box. Does the userID have to have higher priviledges than just READ ONLY in order to validate the database credentials?
If so, what level of access is required?
Does the installation of CR Server update any of the tables that are stored on the MySQL database?
Do we need to install the Crystal Reports 2008 on the server in order for Crystal Reports 2008 SERVER to work?
What other workarounds can be done for the client? The windows server they have Crystal Reports Server 2008 installed on has web services enabled but are continuing to come across issues. Any insight for the client would be greatly appreciated.

Does the userID have to have higher priviledges than just READ ONLY in order to validate the database credentials?
The userID used when installing CRS must have dba previleges (create/drop tables) on the schema.
Does the installation of CR Server update any of the tables that are stored on the MySQL database?
You should create a new schema/DSN for the CMS db. The installation of CRS creates 8 new tables.
Do we need to install the Crystal Reports 2008 on the server in order for Crystal Reports 2008 SERVER to work?
No
All this information is in the BOE XI3.0 Installation Guide.

Crystal Reports 2013 java-error "java.lang.ClassCastException: class com.crystaldecisions..." when promoting

Hi,
when promoting "Crystal Report 2013" report (with data connectivity BW MDX Query) from BO DEV to BO PROD with BO Promotion Mgmt (LCM), we get the following error message in LCM jobs history:
Resolution Status=Overwritten, Dependency Status=All the required dependencies are included.,
Commit Status=Commit attempted and failed.,
Promotion Status=Failure : Object promoted. Update failed.
Error: java.lang.ClassCastException: class com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ByteArray:java.net.URLClassLoader@1d634758 incompatible
with class com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.PropertyBag:java.net.URLClassLoader@1d634758
The report itself is present on BO PROD, but the overwrite (BW DEV MDX Query-> BW PROD MDX Query) is not applied, so report connectivity still points to the BW Query on the development system :-( .
Moreover, the overwrite itself is detected when the job is "test promoted" ("active overwrite").
Before, we successfully were able to transport crystal reports 2013 with overwrite (the connection then pointed to BW PROD). No idea yet what suddenly changed that...
Any ideas what causes the error and what can fix it (no posts found, no SAP note, google also no hits)?
Best regards
Florian Pitschi

Update:
After more investigation, it looks as if the BO Server "CrystalReports2013ReportApplicationServer"
from time to time has an issue - not only when promoting, but also when viewing publications that contain Crystal Report documents or when executing them, the java class error or similar issue is thrown.
Did sb face similar behaviour and knows what is the root cause for "CrystalReports2013ReportApplicationServer" not working probably and throwing the java-class error? - it was running fine for several months, now, the class error showed up twice in one month.
We need to find out what is causing the issue (aleady checked tomcat and BO-logfiles...).
Best Regards
Florian

SAP Crystal Report 2013 - Connection error with Universe

Hi,
I've trying to connect Crystal Report 2013 with Universe but I'm getting below error. Please can someone help how can I resolve this error.

.Unx Universes are Not supported by the legacy CR Designers (including CR 2013).
For that you have the new CR for Enterprise.
Does a WebI report against the same Universe work fine?
Do other universes (.unv only) work fine from CR 2013?

Cannot load report from server in Crystal Reports 2013 Viewer

Hello,
I am having trouble opening a report that is hosted on a Crystal Reports Server (2013) from the Crystal Viewer. I've created and uploaded the reports using the report designer (version 2013). The reports have been uploaded using the "Save As -> Enterprise" to save to my enterprise server. This part works fine. I then navigated to the Crystal Reports Viewer to open my report (that I just uploaded w/ the designer) from the server. Depending on the report, one of two things happens:
1.) I get a loading bar at the bottom right of the screen that says "Operation in progress . . ." followed by an error message:
Unable to Refresh Report
A problem occurred while refreshing on the server. The report may not be configured properly for refresh.
Please contact your server administrator. (me)
2.) I get a loading bar at the bottom right of the screen that says "Refreshing <file name of the report> (<server name>)" followed by... nothing. The loading bar goes away and nothing happens. It goes back to the screen that shows when the application first loads (blank canvas).
I've taken some basic troubleshooting steps to try and rule out any potential issues that came to mind, but I've not been successful.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

SAP tab in Crystal Reports 2013 issue

We are using SAP Crystal Reports 2013 SP3 to build reports on BEX queries (BW 7.2). Creating a report via 'File' --> New connection --> BW MDX driver works fine, I can select bex queries & cubes and see the data. However SAP provided tab 'SAP' does not work as expected. When adding a new bex query using SAP--> Create new report from a query, I can see the list of queries and select one but it does not open and throws the following error -
"An error occurred while generating a new report templete.
No error"
Using the "File" option any change to the .rpt file forces BO admin to update "DB logon" information in CMC (currently i cannot save .rpt file directly on enterprise from Crystal client due to some issue) and we want to avoid this kind of maintainence using SAP authentication provided by using SAP tab, also the Crysal report prompts when run from BI launch pad request for prompt values twice (once for the report and once to pull list of values for each prompt) which can be avoided using SAP tab. I thought access to dev BW server is fine since the "File" tab works fine. Our BASIS team confirmed BOBJ dev servers have access to BW gateway. Am I missing something here, please help me with your experience and ideas to troubleshoot this as the only solution i could google was from a 2012 SAP recommended article to fix reginfo configuration files on SAP server
I reinstalled Crystal Reports client twice to make sure intallation was not the issue.
Thanks
GORO.

Regarding Crystal Reports 2013 SP1/SP3 runtime distribution clafrifications

Hi,
We are in process of migrating exsisting Crystal Reports from CR 2008 SP4 to CR 2013 SP1/SP3.
Iam unable to find the corresponding msms for the same for runtime distribution (to install on end user Boxs).
Can see latest as v.13.0.13.1597 (_http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824)
Please help out link where I can download msi (or msms) for Crystal Reports 2013 SP1/SP3 runtimes that need to be deployed on user PCs.
Also need advise
( i ) Can we install both runtimes (CR 2008 SP4 and CR 2013 SP1) on user PC at same time?
( ii ) We have already deployed CR 2008 SP4 runtimes on user PCs, is that sufficient? or do we need to install any other runtime?
( iii ) Will CR 2013 SP1 support old CR 2008 SP4 ?
Thanks & Regards,
Rajeshwar Rao

Crystal 2013 does not come with the SDK, instead you have to download Crystal for Visual Studio AND update your code to use it. You can't just install one of the .msi files or the .msm file (which are all available at the link you show above) and expect it to work with existing code.

Crystal Reports 2011 Demo Install Error

Downloaded the trial of Crystal Reports 2011 today (installer says it is SP2) and it will not install. Searched the forums and the 'net and not finding anything that appears to be applicable to my situation, so here goes:
Windows 7 64-bit Pro SP 1, all updates
Crystal Reports 8.5 and 9.2 installed
Visual Studio 2010 Pro with all updates
RAD Studio XE2 with latest updates
Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010
I run the setup as an admin, Windows 7 compatibility checked, etc. as suggested in other posts.
I am getting a Visual C++ runtime library error "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way."
I get this initially when the installer says "Installing Deployment Unit:" and the unit listed is:
tp.microsoft.vcredist-7.1-core-32,14.0.0.760
I have a screenshot, but the above gives relevant information. If I click OK on the error, I will continuously get it for all other files and then get the pleasure of getting it again when I cancel the installation. We have been considering moving to SSRS, but wanted to give the 2011 Crystal a shot since we have several hundred reports developed in it.
Thanks in advance for any help and apologies if I missed something in my searching. Any ideas??

Hello,
First thing is CR 8.5 is not side by side compatible, so uninstall it. I don't see this causing install issues but just an FYI...
I assume you downloaded it from the Trial version Page then or was it in Service Market Place?
SP 2 is both Full and Incremental so I'll start the download and test also. It may be they linked to the wrong file.
How big was the file you downloaded?
Also, have a look at this post: SAP Crystal Reports 2011: Error INS00140 and other install errors , there may be something going on with one of those MS Kbases causing the issue, or could be something new.
I checked with the PM for Cr 2011 and there should be both incremental and a full build available, possibly they did link it to the wrong one...
Thanks again
Don
Oh and check that you have .NET 2.0 to 4.0 Framework installed, CR requires is.

Unable to save reports to enterprise from Crystal Reports 2013 and Crystal Reports for Enterprise

Dear Expert,
when we tried to save report to enterprise, error happened:
"Failed to find a Report Application Server."
We closed BO server firewall.
We could check report from PC by browser.
But when we save report from CR 2013, then error happened.
Then we install CR enterprise and save report is ok from same PC.
We launch latest patches too.
Anyone see this before? Please kindly help~
Environment:
SAP Crystal Reports 2013
SAP Business Intelligence 4.0
Regards,
April.

April, since you have CR4E, you also have BI and thus free phone support included. My suggestion would be to create a phone incident and work with an SAP engineer on the issue. Only saying because it looks like you're somewhat anxious to get this going(?).

Crystal Reports 2013 SP3 crashing

Hello,
We installed Crystal Reports 2013 SP3 to all developers and they have been noticing that Crystal is crashing.
It basically crashes on different scenarios and Crystal freezes and shows the error Crystal Stopped Working.
I have gathered different scenarios like:
1. Report was open, doing nothing when getting error crystal stopped working.
2. Report was open, re-titled a column, saved the file click on refresh button to re-run query with same parameters and got the same error
3. Open the report set parameters for the past month to run it and get error not responding.
We have re-installed Crystal on different computers and the same issue persist, even in Citrix we have noticed this as well.
Has anybody seen this behavior and found any solution for this?
Thanks,
Daniel

Hello,
I got new logs, but shows exactly the same as before. The same error lines
But It failed few minutes ago, around 3.10pm and as you see the log the error show at 1.45, so I'm not sure if it's related to database issue.
I'm checking the database logs and show the same error message coming from multiple desktops (which we believe are all the crystal developers, but this probably means that they sometimes use wrong password for that in their report...)
This is what happened this time:
Crystal 2013 SP3
This time it failed when developer was trying to update a command object, it stopped working
Crystal 2013 SP5
In 1 day it stopped working twice (when you have to close crystal completely), and stopped responding multiple times (screen grays our and shows the stop responding)
Thanks,
Daniel
