Crystal Reports 2008 crashes in Windows 2003 terminal Services Session

Hi,
We installed Crystal Reports Server and Crystal Reports 2008 on a new Windows 2003 Small Business Server. Crystal Reports works when run at the physical console, but when accessed from Remote Desktop it crashes to the debugger when I try to:
a) open an existing working report that uses SQL Server 2005 parameterized stored procedure,
b) create a new report using any SQL Server 2005 parameterized stored procedure,
c) access help.
All the above work fine at the physical server but I need to access remotely using RDC.
I log in as administrator, I have tried turning off DEP and I am running RDC via the mstsc command both without and with the /admin switch to run in session 0 but there is still a difference between being at the physical console versus remote that CR does not like.
More: I have to drive a long way to get to the server to try things locally. For now, as a workaround, I have started crw32.exe at the physical server and I can use that when I log in via RDC - I just cannot start crw32.exe remotely and run it successfully. Also, when I do run remotely, I get the entire menu bar on startup with no start page, but running at physical server I get only the File, View and Help menus but I do get the Start page.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rob Hershfield

Cannot see System DSN in Crystal Reports 2008 on Vista/Windows 2008

I've been making quite a bit of progress in switching migrating our Crystal Reports 8.0 reports and apps to Crystal Reports 2008 on our Windows 2008 server, but am currently stuck on a DSN issue that I hope someone here can help me out with.
When I go to select a new ODBC data source in Crystal Reports 2008, the only ODBC data sources that show up in the list are User DSNs. These reports will be served via our intranet website, so I need to use System DSNs. The same is true on both my development computer running 64-bit Vista and the production server running Windows Server 2008.
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 (C#) for development along with Crystal Reports 2008 (not the Crystal Reports Basic that comes with Visual Studio).
How can I use a System DSN? Any help or advice will be much appreciated!

Hi, Paul;
The first thing to check is to ensure you are creating a 32 bit ODBC DSN, and not a 64 bit one. Crystal Reports 2008 is 32 bit only.

Hi David,
I've seen this before, your Video driver is out dated and you need to update it. Typically the makers of the mother board or video card, which ever one you are using, will have updates for your specific OS. Appears you are using the default Window generic video driver which may not support what CR requires or you have an older usp10.dll. You will likely get a new one if you install Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Also, Crystal Reports version: 12.1.0.883 is SP 1 and not SP 2., second number is the Service Pack, 12.x.x.x.
Download SP 4 and see if that may help:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009989492010E/cr2008_sp3_fullbuild.zip
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008782452011E/cr2008sp4.exe
Or incrementally:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009038092009E/cr2008win_sp2.exe
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008782452011E/cr2008sp4.exe
And you may need SP 3 or if you want to start off clean download the full build of SP 3 and then SP 4. Requires the keycode so make sure you have it, we can't give you a new one.

Crystal Reports 2008 crash when Select Page or Print Report

Hy,
I Have Crystal Reports 2008 on Windows Vista. When I select page or I print reports, Crystal Reports crash. I tried to uninstall Crystal 8.5 and Crystal XI that I was on the same computer and manually removed all entry in Registry. After this I reinstalled Crystall 2008 but the problem was not resolved.
So I tracked the dll called by CRW32.EXE and I found that the problem was on a DLL of Microsoft Office OneNote. I uninstall the Microsoft Office OneNote printer that Office Installation Program created for OneNote and now all work fine. I hope that this can help other people that have the same problem.
Ciao Filippo

Thank You for the information Filippo,
This is actually a known issue with CR 2008 when a printer driver is missing at least one file. Our developers are aware of the issue and are planning to release a fix soon.

Crystal Reports 2008 install on Windows Server 2008

I am trying to do a typical install of Crystal Reports 2008 on Windows Server 2003 and I keep getting an error that says "ReportConvTool.dll failed to register" and then the same error for other dll's, Myinfoview.dll, Encyclopedia.dll, etc.. What can be the problem?
I installed on a Vista machine with no problems.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

Hi,
I will not be able to provide the 'why' of this issue but per my research, these are how other users have done to get through this issue:
Please ensure that your Windows Server 2003 version is supported in your version of CR 2008 by going through the platform support document in our SMP
First scenario:
Continue with your installion ignoring the error message and manually register those DLLs afterwards
Second scenario
Continue with your installation ignoring the error message. Go to Add/remove programs and uninstall CR 2008 and reinstall it anew
Third scenario
Those DLLs indicates you have other BO products installed in that Windows server 2003. If it is just a test box, remove those products and reinstall them.
I've listed the steps from easy to complex and hopefully one resolves your issue.
Worst scenario, please log a ticket to Support through our Service Market Place (SMP)

Crystal Reports 2008 crashes in Visual Studios Basic 2008

I have Visual Studio 2008 Basic with Crystal Reports 2008 (Full) running on Windows 7 Pro - 64-Bit. I am running VS in visual basic runtime and I encounter this problem very frequently, however not all the time.
What appears to be happening is when I have any one of my 11 solutions open and I try to open a crystal report, Visual Studio says that it has encountered a problem and needs to restart. This happens whether I am running the program as and administrator or not. After VS restartes and I open my solution again, I attempt to open the same report and it opens without crashing.
This seems to be a direct problem with Windows 7 and crystal reports, because I never had this problem while developing these solution in Windows XP.
~Paul

Make sure you have applied Visual Studio 2008 SP1.
Make sure you have Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 applied (unless you are using datasets with date time fields, then apply SP1).
SP 1 is here;
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006555792009E/cr2008win_sp1.exe
SP2 is here;

See if the updates help.

Crystal Reports 2008 crashes when previewing image with graphic location

Any idea why? If I trun graphic location off, it works fine.
The code I'm using to pull image is:
sapserver\B1_SHR\Bitmaps\Versailles\" & {RSM_Inventory_Images;1.PicturName}
Thanks.

Through Startu2014Run are you able to view the image by choosing the following path ?
sapserver\B1_SHR\Bitmaps\Versailles\" & {RSM_Inventory_Images;1.PicturName}
Also try to insert any image which is on your local hard drive and try. I think this is because, CR is unable to access the images which are on UNC.
Thanks,

Problems installing Crystal Reports 2008 Server on Windows Server 2008 serv

I attempted to install the Crystal Reports 2008 product on one of our Windows Server 2008 servers.
After installing disk 1
Crystal Reports 2008 Server attempts to open up in IE...... but opens up to a blank page
http://bmlfileserver:8080/CmcApp/
anyone have any idea why? why does it not prompt for the second CD?
Is this a compatibility with Windows Server 2008?

I'm attempting to install CRS 2008 on Windows Server 2008 as well, and I'm running into a few issues. Did you ever get yours resolved? I started by trying to use IIS, but I'm uninstalling it completely now and will try Tomcat instead. Which route did you go?

Sorry Rajiv. Not a clue and since
a) this is not a supported environment
b) CR 10 has been out of support for... 3+ years(?)
all I can suggest is an http sniffing utility like [Charles|http://xk72.com/] or [Fiddeler|http://www.fiddlertool.com/fiddler/] and perhaps [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx] which will tell you the dlls loading by the process.
Perhaps somebody else may have an idea?

Flash Player - Windows 2003 Terminal Services

We have terminal services users that are unable to use the Adobe Flash Player in their web browser. They keep getting the prompt that they need it. The administrator can view it even in terminal mode. I have done the user install, Add/Remove Programs option, changed the Registry keys to allow everyone read permissions and even full on the hkey classes root. It appears that new users that connect can view Flash correctly but existing users that already had profiles can't still. Any other ideas? Thanks for the help.

Did you ever get a resolution to your issue? I have the same issue
. I have tried following these steps

but the registry keys are different for Flash Player 10. I cannot find the correct key for version 10.

Excel 2010 is Crashes on Windows 2003 Terminal Server

Event Type:   Error
Event Source:   Microsoft Office 14
Event Category:   None
Event ID:   1000
Description:

Problems with Excel crashing can be caused by several things.
Firstly, could you please let us know if excel will crashes when you open blank excel file? Does this issue happen with normal users or administrator?
There are some resolutions you can have a try.
1. Make sure your office program is up to date.
2. Try to start excel in safe mode
3. Check if excel will crashes when change a user account to open an excel file
4. Perform a clean boot startup to determine whether a program, process, or service conflicts with Excel

How to configure Crystal Reports 2008 and IIS7 and Windows Server 2008?

I have downloaded and installed the trial for Crystal Reports 2008 on our Windows 2008 server. I can open Crystal Reports on the server just fine, but I get HTTP 500 errors when I attempt to view a report hosted on that server via the web.
As far as I can tell, the handler mappings in IIS7 are not configured properly, although I confirmed that the Crystal Reports 2008 install did add several handlers. I read that I must configure the application pool to enable 32-bit applications. I did that and am still getting the same error. Documentation seems sparse and I've spent the better part of the day searching the forum here with no luck. What am I missing?

Don,
Thank you for the quick response!
We will ultimately be using ASPX/C#, but this simple case has a very basic report with no databind, just a single text label that reads "test succeeded" and I'm attempting to access it by direct URL (i.e. "http://192.168.99.21/crystalreportviewers12/test.rpt"). This works on our Windows 2000 server running Crystal Reports 8.
I've also tested with a simple test.aspx file with only the line "Response.Write(System.DateTime.Now.ToString())" and that works just fine. This file is in the same folder as the test.rpt file.
If I leave the Application Pool set for the "Integrated" managed pipeline mode, I continue to get a rather generic "500 - Internal server error". If I switch it to "Classic", I get the following error:
Failed to Execute URL.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

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
