Crystal Report (9.0 - RDC] on Vista

I think i have not expressed myself appropriatly
(the last thread).
I have problems when i use Crystal Reports 2008,
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo and CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer on Vista .
But i haven't problem when i use Crystal Report (9.0 - RDC) on Vista.
(Interop.CRAXDDRT / Crystal Reports 9 ActiveX Designer Design and Runtime Library).
¿?It's supported¿?(vista)
What kind of problems can I find, if i use Crystal Reports(9.0-RDC) on Vista?
(now i haven´t)
Regards
(sorry, my english)

Dear Amit,
Sorry, but I think I'm still not expressing appropriately. Let me try once again.
OK, I know that CR2008 does not support RDC. Actually we are planning to migrate to CR2008 using the new NET libraries.
However, we have tested CR9.0(RDC) in Vista and we find that it works OK so far. My question is: is CR9.0 (RDC) "officially" working in Vista? Shall we find any compatibility problem for some Vista installation?
What I would like to know is whether our current software, that still uses CR9.0(RDC), shall work fine on any Vista platform or not.
Hope that I had expressed better this time !!

Error in crystal report XI release 2 in Vista OS

Post Author: cormalado
CA Forum: General
Hi All,
I am a Newbie.......
I have written an application where it displays the report.
I have two test machines, "Machine 1" in which crystal reports XI release 2 is installed and "Machine 2" where it is not installed.
Now when I run the application in the machine where CR11 is installed,it runs perfectly fine.(It has XP Operating System)
Inorder to make the application run on machine 2 where CR11 is not installed.(It has Vista Operating System) what should i do. (I don't want to install CR11 there.)
Now in order to run in the Vista machine, I need to register the DLL's which are made used to run and display the report as in Machine 1.
I got these DLL's from machine 1 where XP is installed which i felt are necessary to display the report.....correct me if I am missing something.
craxdrt.dllcrdb_ado.dllcrqe.dllcrtslv.dllcrviewer.dllcrxf_rtf.dllExportModeller.dllquerybuilder.dllu2ddisk.dllu2ftext.dllufmanager.dll
Now how should i register these.....i tries Regsvr32.exe to register, but was able to register only few and rest were displaying an error as
"LoadLibrary failed "    or    "Entrypoint not found".
I think there might be some dependencies for the DLL's mentioned above.
I got the above mentioned list of DLL's from CR9 since these DLL's were made used in CR9 with some different name, when i ran the application in Vista machine with these DLL's I was able to run without any problems.
Now my question is:
Are these the only DLL's which are made used to display the report in Machine 2 where Vista is installed and if not what are the other dll's.
And where shoud these be residing (Is it in system32 folder or ..\Program Files\Common Files\..... ?) and how should I register these DLL's ? (i.e the order of registering them.)
Any sugesstion would greatly be accepted.   Kindly help me.

Try psoting technical information.
You wrote an application, but you won't bother to say what language/environment??? Your first application, or first time you've asked for technical support?
And what edition of CR XI do you have, and is it CR XI SR2?
The Developer edition is required for what you are asking, and you can check the help file within for the file dependencies.
Might be a compatability issue, I think SR2 is required.

Crystal Reports XI R2 Appcrash in Vista but OK in XP

I have a Windows Form VB.NET application using Crystal XI R2 to produce reports. The application works flawlessly on other machines in Windows XP, but as soon as I try to load a report in Vista the program exits with the following message -
Description:
Stopped working
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: Manufact.exe
Application Version: 1.0.0.0
Application Timestamp: 487ed6c1
Fault Module Name: unknown
Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000
Exception Code: c0000005
Exception Offset: 050e3ed0
OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.256.6
Locale ID: 3081
This happens (only in Vista) whether the report is sent direct to the printer or to the Crystal Report Viewer and occurs at the crReport.Load (direct print) or New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument (viewer) statements.
Despite having Try/Catch blocks and exception handling in place I get no other error messages apart from the above.
I have downloaded and installed all of the CR XI R2 service packs up to SP4 on the development machine.
I have rebuilt with CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm dated 10/04/2008, re-installed but still doesn't fix problem.
I don't think it is a database issue because rest of program loads and displays data (from SQL Server) fine.

The app loads fine in Vista and the database is accessible. When a report is sent to the viewer I get the error message immediately after executing
crReportDocument = New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
The report viewer screen is visible in the background but no report is visible u2013 just the APPCRASH message.
If the report is sent directly to the printer, the error occurs directly after the statement u2013
CrystalReportsFolder=u201DC:\MANUFACT\REPORTSu201D
CrystalReportsFile=u201D\CUSTOMERINVOICE.RPTu201D
Try
oRpt.Load(CrystalReportsFolder & CrystalReportsFile)
I have checked the directory structure and everything in folder c:\program files\business objects\common\3.5\bin (e.g.crdb_ad0*.dll) is version 11.5.8.1237 .
All the CrystalDecisions and BusinessObjects files are in c:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\managed\ and are version 11.5.8.1237 except for CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll which is in folder c:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\managed\dotnet2 -Version 11.5.9708.1237).
Yes I am running VB.Net 2005 with the latest service packs

VB6 Crystal Reports 8.5 - RDC Component to Export Reports To Printer

Hi,
We have an application written in VB6 that uses the RDC in Crystal Reports 8.5 to export reports the printer. We are currently making some security changes to lock down several of our servers. Currently our custom print queue for Crystal runs in windows services as administrator. All the printers are installed as administrator. As soon as we change our application to run as a different account (ie. CrystalService) it no longer can find the printers. I was wondering if there is a way for the windows service to recognize the printers installed as administrator without re-installing all printers on all servers as the new user Crystal Service.
Thanks for your help and let me know if I can add anything to clarify the situation.

Hi Chris,
Other than re-installing under the new user account you can search Microsofts web site on how to change printer permissions. There is an article there that explains how to copy the Printer registry keys into the local user account.
Then it should all work for you, this is all a Windows permission issue, not a Crystal Reports Issue.
Thank you
Don

Crystal Report XI R2 and Windows Vista

Hi to all,
I'm working on an application written in Visual C++ 6.0 that print reports using the Crystal Report XI R2 SP4 engine.
One of my report contain a dynamic image: is a OLE object dynamically linked inside the report.
My application generate a new image and after that the report is printed.
Everything works well on Windows 2000 and Windows XP but with Windows Vista the image is stored inside the Virtual Store folder under my user profile and the reports seems to be unable to find/load the modified image.
So the report is printed with the image that is present in the standard software installation folder (under c:\Program Files\....)
Anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Enrico

Hi Enrico,
Can you let us know what is the format of the image you are using.
Thanks,
Naveen.

Crystal Report XI R2 - RDC supported on Windows 64-bit

Hello!
We are using Crystal Report XI R2 runtime RDC component on Windows 32-bit platform.
Is the RDC supported on Windows 64-bit platform?
Best regards,
A.

Hi Alessandro,
The version of Crystal Reports that comes with MS Visual Studio .NET, which is CR version 10.x, is 64 bit but is quite limited in it's functionality. Only some export types and database drivers are supported. It basically only allows you to view reports, no RCAPI functionalty at all.
I suggest not going that way. RDC is not 64 bit at all, it's old COM engine and will not work in 64 bit mode as I said above. The RDC is not supoorted using .NET also.
Thank again
Don

CRYSTAL REPORTS XI R2 SP5 and VISTA

Hi
Can you clarify if Crystal Reports XI release 2 Service Pack 5 works on Windows VISTA?
The point is that I currently use it on Windows 2000, .NET 2.0 and my organization is upgrading to Windows VISTA and I want to know if this version of Crystal Reports XI release 2 SP5 is compatible on VISTA.
Pls clarify

It is per the supported platforms:

I need Crystal Reports XI R2 RDC merge modules with JDBC driver.

I successfully connected to MySQL server from CR XI R2 designer with JDBC driver. My application is developed in Delphi, using Crystal Reports VCL.

How I to include and configure the JDBC driver?

I just done these steps. But following error occurs:

Crystal Report XI R2 version 11.5 not run on Windows Vista 64 bit OS

We have created the Windows Vista 64 bit Development Environment with u201CCrystal Report XI R2u201D version 11.5 . When we try to run report it gives following error
"An error has ocured while attempting to load Crystal Reports runtime.
Either the Crystal Report Registery key permissions are insufficient or the Crystal Reports runtime 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.bisinessobjects.com/support for more information"
Then we Installed Crystal Reports redistributable from u201CC:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Crystal Reports\CRRedist\X64\CRRedist2005_X64.msiu201D
and run the report we got same error.
Its working properly on Windows XP 32 bit Development Environment.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance

Couple of things to consider;
1) CR XI r2 is not 64 bit
2) The MSI you installed is for CR 10.2 which ships with .NET 2005, not CR XI r2.
3) To use CR XI r2 on Vista, you must have applied at least SP 4

Crystal Reports 8.5 does not work on Vista & Windows7

Any solution?

Cannot See ODBC System DSN's on Windows Vista 64bit in Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
I have installed Crystal Reports 2008 on my Windows Vista 64 bit PC and have setup an ODBC connection to my mySQL box which I wish to report on.
Crystal Reports however does not see the ODBC DSN's which I have configured.
I have installed the product on a 32 bit Windows system with no problems.
Is there a solution to this?
Thanks.

I have found the solutions;
My ODBC drivers did in fact install. Microsoft, in all their wisdom, has 2 versions of odbcad32. A 32 bit and a 64 bit. They are both named odbcad32.exe.
They put the 32 bit odbcad32.exe in the syswow64 directory. They put the 64 bit odbcad32.exe in the system32 directory. 32 bit apps will pick up the 32 bit registry setting and 64 bit will pick up the 64 bit registry setting. system32 comes before syswow64 in the system path so the 64bit software runs before the 32 bit software.
So, when I manually ran odbcad32.exe in the syswow64 directory, I was able to configure my connections and everything worked fine.

How to distribute Crystal Report XI R2

Hello Guys, I wanna to Distribuite my Application that have Crystal Report Files (RPT), I know that i need to couple the Merge Modules ( MSM files ) in a InstallShield for example, and when the application go install automatically the Merge Modules are installed too.
But I wanna know if I can put this Merge Modules in Client Computer without installing again the application, because the application is already running and work normally i just wanna put this reports without installing all application again.

I assume you've logged this in legacy because this is an RDC application, but I think you should clarify for us.
If this is RDC in XI R2, yes you can use the merge modules to create an installation package for your Crystal Reports runtime. It is best if you have this as an Add-on for your application because you don't want to add/remove your entire application if you need to update your Crystal Reports runtime.
The merge modules can be found here:

How to use Crystal Reports XI release 2 Preview with Lotus Notes Scripts ?

 Hi all, How to use Crystal Reports XI release 2 Preview with Lotus Notes 7 Scripts ? Thank's 

Hi,
we are using Lotus Notes and Crystal Reports for preview and printing reports from our Lotus Notes Applications. We use the RDC object model. For previewing the reports we export them in an pdf-file and then start the PDF Reader to show the Preview. This works fine.
But with Crystal Reports > 11 the RDC Object Model is no longer supportet, so we look for another way to preview and print our reports.
I try to preview a report build with crystal report XI release 2 in my thick client (Lotus Notes) using java reporting component JRC, this report uses an native xml file as datasource. If the datasource is saved with the report everything works fine, but otherwise I have the following error:
JRCAgent1 detected an exception: javax.xml.namespace.QName: method getPrefix()Ljava/lang/String; not found
I also tried the .jars from Crystal4Eclipse. Doesn't work. When I use Eclipse to view the report everything works fine. The class QName exitsts in the jaxrpc.jar and in the xbean.jar, but only in the xbean.jar a Methode getPrefix exists.
This is what we tried:
Works fine with RDC. Doesn't work with JRC until now.
Did this help you ?
Perhaps you con help me with the JRC, because I'm a java newbee so any ideas could be helpful.

How to set currency symbol correctly in crystal report

Hi all,
I am using the Crystal Report 2008, I have one issue regarding the currency symbol in the crystal report.
it seems the CrystalReport use the System Default currency symbol. e.g.
ProductA Cost: $1000
It displays,
ProductA Cost: £1000
in euro locale and $ in english locale
It doesn't make sense in business. The question is how do we set the currency symbol "$" to the report? I google some websites, the SetLocaleInfo may be one option, I would like to know the detail and if there are more solutions.
Thanks for your help

Before in our legacy application, we used Crystal Report 9 & VB
'Crystal Report Designer Components (RDC).
Set CrxApp As New CRAXDRT.Application
I can set the crxapp to nothing and recreate this design component.
Set CrxApp = nothing
After SetLocaleInfo, if we set the CrxApp to nothing, it will create the RDC and the currency symbol will be updated.
Now we are using Crystal Report 2008 and C#, the RDC is not supported in 2008
What can I do?
Any input is greatly appreciated.
