Crystal Report Print Control install error

Hi,
I'm trying to manually install the crystal report print control active x file. After righ-clicking to install the printcontrol.inf file, i got the following error message; "The INF you selected does not support this method of installation" Any idea why I could not install?
I am running Windows Vista and have local admin rights.
Thanks in advance.

Umm, when I enter the following search terms in the search box at the top right corner of this web page:
print control activex crystal net
I get the following KB:
[1645006 - How to install the Crystal Reports ActiveX Print Control manually?|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333633343335333033303336%7D.do].
See if that helps. Note that since you do not mention version of CR, the KB may not be specific to your version of CR, but it should point you in the right direction, no matter what the version.

Problem of installing Crystal Reports Print Control(ActiveX)

Environment
Windows 20003 SP1
ASP.NET 2.0
Crystal Reports XI SP4
Background
I am converting ASP application to ASP.NET.
I used ActiveX Viewer on ASP.
Now, I decide to use CrystalReportViewer and PrintControl(ActiveX) on ASP.NET.
CrystalReportViewer.PrintMode = CrystalDecisions.Web.PrintMode.ActiveX
Problem
I want to make normal user (user which is in "Users" group) use PrintControl because of security reason.
But normal user can't use PrintControl.
Reproduce Procedure:
1. logon windows as admin user.
2. install ActiveX (PrintControl) after clicking print icon.
3. logon windows as normal user.
4. when normal user clicks print icon, nothing happens.
(small dialog for printing is displayed, but nothing happens.It looks like "hang". )
When I used ActiveXViewer on ASP, the following steps worked well.
1. logon windows as admin user.
2. Install ActiveX (ActiveXViewer) in report screen.
3. Logon windows as nomal user.
4. normal user (of cource, other admin users) can use ActiveXViewer without installation.
Could you tell me how to use PrintControl on normal user authority?

Thank you very much for your answer.
I solved it.
The cause of this problem is , the dll version string in print.js which creates <OBJECT> tag dinamically is different from dll file version.
i.e. the version string in <OBJECT> tag is newer than dll version.
As a result, each time user accesses HTMLViewer, cab file is downloaded and installed.
We modified the dll version string in print.js, and my problem is fixed.

Where can I find a copy of the Crystal Report Print Control

Hello,
Our users have access to a report portal developed in house which uses the Crystal Report Viewer to display the Crystal Reports created in Visual Studio 2010. the first time they open the portal and try to print the report the loading dialog box that comes up keeps spinning and spinning. The reason for that is that they don't have admin rights to the computer. I would like a copy of the driver so We can push it out to their computers. Any idea where I can find a downloadable version?
Thank You

Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 Install Error

When I try to install Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 I receive the following error...
The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available.
Insert the 'Crystal Reports 2008 SP1' disk and click OK.
SP1 was installed via the upgrade utility that launches with the software. I found the package folder in C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp but it did not contain the MSI SP2 is looking for.
I've tried installing SP2 by both letting the update utility attempt to automatically install it and by just downloading it from the update utility and running the installation manually.
Anyone experience this issue?

Try downloading SP1 and installing it from your local hard driver and then install SP2. I'll mention this issue to the install team and see what they say about your issue.

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.

Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 Install Error 1402 on Vista 64

I just downloaded and tried to install the Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 and when I try to run the setup I get a error 1402, could not open key error and the service pack rolls back. I also tried to reinstall from my original CD and I not get the same error. I have tried to run the install using the run as administrator and with Norton 360 disabled and I still get the error. How do I correct this problem so I can update and correct my version of Crystal Reports 2008 Pro?

Hi David,
The link above seems to only refer to deploying runtime. I suggest you un-install Crystal Reports, go into the registry and delete all of our keys. Assuming you only have CR 2008 installed and the usual warnings about backing up or exporting your registry before making any changes:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects
And
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects
And then download a full build of SP1 from this link:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006556612009E/cr2008v1win_rf.exe
Make sure you do have full Admin rights and check with your IT department to confirm they have not modified the local Administrator profile.
SP1 is DEP aware so it's not required to disable it.
Before you do all of the above You may also want to copy the SP to your local PC rather than running it from a network share point. Network delays can also cause issues like this.
Thank you
Don

Crystal Report Viewer Control error

Please Help, I have a web application developed in .net 2005 which is using crystal reports developer product version 10.0.0.533.
This web application with crystal is working fine on my local machine with OS windows xp, but on the windows server 2003 the application web form is running into "couldnot load file or assembly 'CrystalDecision.VSDesigner, Version=10.0.0.3300' or one of its dependencies"
I have compared the assembly information of my local machine with that of the server and could not see the crystaldecision.vsdesigner version 10.0.0.3300 on the server 2003. I have uninstalled microsoft .net 2005 and crystal reports and installed crystal first and visual studio .net 2005 next and vice versa but still could not see that particular assembly available in the windows 2003 server.
Please suggest as what to do for the assembly to be available on the server so crystal report viewer control can be created with out error. Thanks for any help.

Hello Sunitha,
Visual Studios 2005 ships with a bundled edition of Crystal Reports. This bundled edition is based on the v10 code stream, but it is not CR10. It's CR.NET for Visual Studios and it's v10.2. Crystal Reports 10.0 and the bundled CR.NET 10.2 for VS2005 are not interchangeable.
The stand alone version of Crystal Reports 10 is not expected to integrate correctly into VS2005. If you have CR10 Developer installed on your VS2005 machine you can force VS2005 to use the CR10.0 assemblies, but it is not supported.
You need to clean up your application so that it's referencing the 10.2 version assemblies and then deploy the 10.2 runtime files. You can visit the [Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET Runtime Distribution - Versions 9.1 to 12.0|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/bobj/crystalReportsruntimeforVisualStudio.NET] Wiki for a nice overview of the various versions of Crystal Reports, as well as a listing of the runtime files to match the version of Crystal Reports that is being used. For VS2005 and bundled CR.NET look at the "CR 10.2 (VS .NET 2005)" section of the Wiki.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

Crystal Reports: Print Engine Error when exporting a report

Crystal Report Print Engine API calls from Powerbuilder

I am using Crystal Report XI R2 with Powerbuilder 9.0. I am using Crystal Report API calls using crpe32.dll to display my reports. When i run my reports from my development machine where Crystal Reports is installed the reports run properly, but when i deploy my application on a server where Crystal Reports is not installed the report gives me error "Report has not been opened" , Error 599.
The database logon info is properly set in the RPT file.
I want to know whether it is possible to run reports without installing Crystal Reports and how do you do it?

Somehow, you will have to install the CR runtime...
Probably the best way will be to create a deployment project using a utility such as InstallShield, Wise, MS Visual Installer, etc. Use the RDC merge modules and add the crpe32.dll to the deployment project, ensuring the crpe32.dll is installed into the ...\3.5\bin directory. The Correct msm files are here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009381702008E/crxir2sp4_rdc_mm.zip
BTW., using the print engine APIs... Not something recommended, nor supported. Last header files for the crpe APIs shipped in version 9...

I couldn't use Crystal Report Viewer Control in my ASPX page.

Please I'm having a problem with crystal report viewer control which I couldn't resolve. I'm using VS 2008 and Framework 3.5.
I building an ASP web application and when I add a CrystalReportViewer to my ASPX page I'm getting the following
error.
"Error 20 Type 'CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalReportViewer' is not defined."
I think maybe because I'm not having the right reference file. I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 and also I installed the following
Service Packs:
cr121_redist_install
CR2008-SP1
CR2008SP1-Fixes 1 and 2
cr121_clickonce
I check all the reference files in my project and they are as follow:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine (12.0.2000.0)
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\managed\dotnet2\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework (12.0.1100.0)

C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\managed\dotnet2\CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll (12.0.2000.0)
Please Why I'm getting this problem? How I can resolve it?
Thanks.

If you have a viewer on one of your forms, delete it off the form and re-add it, ensuring that the crystalreports.web assembly referenced in your project is version 12.

Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer Error in 1 Workstation after upgrade of PL

Hi all,
We just upgraded SAP from 8.82 PL02 to 8.82 PL15.
Afterwards, in just 1 workstation, Crystal Reports layouts have Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer error I attach.
Before the upgrade this error did not happen.
No permissions or authorizations were changed in the workstation.
The Crystal Reports layouts remain working fine in server and in the other workstations.
In the workstation following are installed:
- Operating System Windows 7;
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5;
- SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for. NET Framework;
- Crystal Report 2008 Runtime SP6;
- Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Native Client.
All, but the operating system, are equal to the other workstations.
User has edit access to SAP folders, temp and access to the attach path.
We already uninstalled SAP client and client agent and re-installed it but with no avail.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Pedro Mariano

Crystal report print button greyed out in user citrix sessions

Hi,
We are running Citrix Enterprise Server 4.5 on Windows 2003 servers.
We have a ERP app called Epicor 7.3.6 installed on them.
Crystal Reports 9 is installed on all these servers and the epicor app displays and prints crystal reports.
Some users when logged into their Citrix profile session and running Crystal Reports from within Epicor application can not print the Crystal report because the Print button is greyed out.
We have compared users that can print against users who can not not print and not found anything at the network, file permissions, application permissions, printer setup setting level.
Also, if we were to take citirx completely out of the discussion, what might cause the print button to be greyed out in a crystal report when it is displayed (not the developer, but in the minmal window that shows the export, print, magnify options only).
Thanks
Chris

Check with Epicor. We don't know how Epicor implemented the solution so it's kinda like you asking a mechnic to fix your car, but he can't open the hood to see the engine.
A tip; this is more than likely due to permissions. So, compare between boxes thast work and don't work. Use [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx] to track permission issues.

Problem in crystal report viewer control's toolbar "export"button using SSL

Hi,
I would like to ask. My project is using BO XI Release 2 and VS-Studio 2005. Initially my project doesn't use SSL... At that time when i view the report with crystal report viewer control and can export (using built-in toolbar "export button"). Now project is using SSL and canu2019t export the error is
u201CInternet Explorer cannot download file from server.
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.u201D
Actually this error can solve "Cache-control" change to "no-cache". But I donu2019t know in crystal reportu2026
Anyone can help ???
Thanks

In Internet Explorer, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced and ensure "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" is unchecked.
Default is to have that option checked.
It was considered a IE security issue that IE saves all content to temp disk location unencrypted, even those pages served by HTTPS (for example, let's say you use HTTPS to download your bank info, and it's stored to temp disk for someone else to retrieve later). So more recent versions of IE implemented that option setting.
How that option setting works is strange - it downloads the file, saves to disk, then deletes the copy from the disk immediately, before passing it to the application responsible for the MIME type. So the application tries to open a directory path to a non-existing file.
Issue is specific to IE, and it's not something you can control via the SDK.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Fonts are not diplayed correctly in the Crystal Report Viewer control

Post Author: Farid
CA Forum: General
Hello,
I have designed a report in the Crystal Reports XI Designer (version 11.5.3.417) using the default printer. When I view it through the preview mode of the Designer, fonts are displayed like expected using the default printer driver.
Now, I view this same report at run time in the Crystal Report Viewer control on the same computer with the same default printer. Fonts appear then differently they were in the preview mode : sizes are differents and some texts are truncated. It seems that the default printer driver are not used.
Can anybody tell me if this behaviour is normal ? If it is the case how should I do to display a report in the Report Viewer using the default printer driver like I have specified it in the Designer.

You may want to select the "no Printer" option instead, this will force CR to use a higher resolution. Look in page setup, printer options.
