Crystal Reports 2008 FP 3.6 Installation Error

Hello. Not sure if this is the right place in the forum, but could not figure out a better one. Anyway, I am having major issues installing FixPack 3.6 on Crystal Reports 2008 (updated through SP 3). I keep getting error during installation for "Version is Too Low". Then install shuts down.
Any thoughts? I tried re-installing SP 3, and verified my version is correct to match SP3. It is 12.3.0.601.
If it helps, my IT group instructed the FP 3.6 installation order as follows. My prior CR set up was SP2 with FP 2.4.
1. Business Objects XI 3.1 SP3 - Done
2. Crystal Reports SP3 - Done
3. Business Objects Integration Kit SP3 - Done
4. Business Objects XI FP 3.6 - Done
5. Crystal Reports FP 3.6 - Error
6. Business Objects Integration Kit FP 3.6 - Not Done.
Any thoughts or assitance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Barret

Crystal Reports 2008, Characteristic-Structure and LiveOffice Error

Hi,
I am trying to integrate a table from a Crystal Report (2008) in a powerpoint document using LiveOffice. The table uses a characteristic structure set up in the Bex Query. I.e. I created a structure for different nodes in a hierarchy to show the result on a row per node.
As soon as I am using groups in the table based on the structure, there's an error upon refresh of the liveoffice object. It says something like "successful (with warning)" and then "Missing parts: GroupNameStruc" (using the geramn version so I have to guess the translation). As a result, the table or liveoffice object now is empty.
When I use a group on a normal Characteristic which is not part of the structure (e.g. I have the year in free characteristics) there is no problem in liveoffice.
I read somewhere, one should use self defined technical names on the structure and it's elements, so I tried that too but with no success.
I don't see any other way than using a structure in the query, because I need to filter the nodes I need based on the underlying hierarchies. Since there's more than one hierarchy involved, I suppose I cannot even use the characteristic outside of a structure and then filter the hierarchies in Crystal...
Crystal Reports 2008: 12.4.0.966
Integration Kit: 12.4.0.966
LiveOffice: 14.0.2.364
Any help is appreciated!

Crystal Reports 2008 Trial crashes; crw32.exe error; any fix?

I downloaded the trial for Crystal Reports 2008 and I can open the application fine, but when I go to create a report and click on the u201CCreate New Connectionu201D for the database I get a Just-in-time error for crw32.exe and my application shuts down.
Iu2019ve been trying to look for a resolution in your forums but could not find anything. I check for updates it says there are none; I've uninstalled and reinstalled already didn't fix it; I've download sp1 manually and installed but no luck.
I do have MS SQL Server 2008 installed on my system, could this be causing some problems?
I'm running Windows XP, also have VS .NET 2003 installed, but I'm only wanting to use CR 2008 application.
Similar to this existing problem: An unhandled Win32 exception occurred in crw32.exe 5048. Crystal 2008 Crash
I cannot uninstalled SQL Server 2008 because I need it.

Hi Henry,
Crystal Reports 2008 is not officially tested with SQL Server 2008.
Try with this:
1. Reduce the 'Hardware acceleration' setting in Microsoft Windows.
2. To access the 'Hardware acceleration' setting in Microsoft Windows:
Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Display > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshooting.
There are typically six possible settings for 'Hardware acceleration': from 'None' to 'Full'.
If you are using Dual monitor run the CR application on primary monitor cause Dual monitor is not tested with CR.
If still the issue occurs then manually un-install and reinstall the application.

Shweta

Crystal Reports 2008 viewer, print function, Comunication error

I installed cr2008 on a web server and isntalled sp0
if I bring up a reprot in smartviewer from a client it works and I can print
once I installed sp1, sp2 and or sp3 for crystal reports 2008 the print button in crystal reports viewer gives an error when I click the print button.
If I remove and re-isntall cr2008 and just installed sp0 the print button works again
Is there a fix to make the print button work in crystal reports smart viewer once sp1 or above have been installed
thank you

Translating the error message on bablefish I get:
Mistake with the store of the data bank information. Mistake in the file Report {C6512421-348A-4621-B1ED-895D28646A0A} .rpt
Which I'm sure is not 100% accurate, but it gives a good hint. As well, because of this:
"Do I need to install an additional / diffrent runtime than 2008 Runtime"
I wonder how you installed the CR 12 runtime on that computer? For more info on CR runtimes, see [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsforVisualStudio.NETRuntimeDistribution-Versions9.1to12.0] wiki.
If my suggestion above does not help, make sure the Win\temp directory can be accessed buy the application. Crystal Reports runtime needs to write and read files from the temp directory.

Crystal Reports 2008 Formula in Cross-Tab Error Not Supported

I have a crosstab that was created in Crystal XI and when I opened the report in Crystal 2008 I receive an Error "Not Supported" when I removed the fromula that was in the Crosstab the report displayed. The following is the formula that is within the crosstab:
If {VWR_PPS_VISIT_SCHEDULE.COHORT_NAME} = '(No Cohort)' THEN
    If DistinctCount({VWR_PPS_VISIT_SCHEDULE.COHORT_NAME},{VWR_PPS_VISIT_SCHEDULE.PROPOSAL_VERSION_ID}) >1 then
         {VWR_PPS_VISIT_SCHEDULE.COHORT_NAME}&" "&{VWR_PPS_VISIT_SCHEDULE.VISIT_NAME}
    else
        ""&" "&{VWR_PPS_VISIT_SCHEDULE.VISIT_NAME}
else
    {VWR_PPS_VISIT_SCHEDULE.COHORT_NAME}&" "&{VWR_PPS_VISIT_SCHEDULE.VISIT_NAME}
As I mentioned the formula works perfectly in Crystal XI but not Crystal 2008 which no sese at all. We are preparing to migrate from Crystal XI to Crystal 2008 and if this is an issue we may need to but upgrading off.
Any help with this would be gratly appreciated.
Thanks

Try adding brackets around the If statements.e.g.
If {VWR_PPS_VISIT_SCHEDULE.COHORT_NAME} = '(No Cohort)' THEN
If DistinctCount({VWR_PPS_VISIT_SCHEDULE.COHORT_NAME},{VWR_PPS_VISIT_SCHEDULE.PROPOSAL_VERSION_ID}) >1
then {VWR_PPS_VISIT_SCHEDULE.COHORT_NAME}&" "&{VWR_PPS_VISIT_SCHEDULE.VISIT_NAME}
else ""&" "&{VWR_PPS_VISIT_SCHEDULE.VISIT_NAME}

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:

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?

Our company has also been experiencing this issue with deployed versions of our software, and during my examination of the error I have made the following discoveries:
For us the error has only been reproduced on Windows 2003 running Citrix
The error does not occur on Windows XP, Windows 2003 or Vista without Citrix
For installation of our application we use the CRRuntime_12_0.msm merge module (version 12.0.0.683, file size 46790KB)
As mentioned in the first post this error is related to the files crxf_rtf.dll and cfxf_xls.dll being unable to locate its reference to the file libpng10.dll during load.
I have run the application with ProcMon (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx) attached on both environments that work correctly and that does not work and iIve made these observations:
During load of dlls Windows searches for references in the following orders (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682586.aspx):
1. The directory from which the application loaded.
2. The system directory.
3. The 16-bit system directory.
4. The Windows directory.
5. The current directory.
6. The directories that are listed in the PATH environment variable.
Looking at the ProcMon log for the environment where it works correctly (Windows XP, no Citrix) it looks like this . Numbers represent the search order mentioned above:
Load Image C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\crxf_rtf.dll SUCCESS Image Base: 0x3e640000, Image Size: 0x79000
(1) QueryOpen C:\Program Files\<our application name>\libpng10.dll NAME NOT FOUND
(2) QueryOpen C:\WINDOWS\system32\libpng10.dll NAME NOT FOUND
(3) QueryOpen C:\WINDOWS\system\libpng10.dll NAME NOT FOUND
(4) QueryOpen C:\WINDOWS\libpng10.dll NAME NOT FOUND
(5) QueryOpen C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\libpng10.dll SUCCESS ...
So you can see it finds the file in the "current directory"
Now, from the environment where it does not work (Windows 2003 Server / Citrix):
Load Image X:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\crxf_rtf.dll SUCCESS Image Base: 0x3e640000, Image Size: 0x79000
(1) QueryOpen X:\Program Files\<our application name>\libpng10.dll NAME NOT FOUND
(2) QueryOpen X:\WINDOWS\system32\libpng10.dll NAME NOT FOUND
(3) QueryOpen X:\WINDOWS\system\libpng10.dll NAME NOT FOUND
(4) QueryOpen X:\WINDOWS\libpng10.dll NAME NOT FOUND
(5) QueryOpen X:\Documents and Settings\<my user name>\WINDOWS\libpng10.dll NAME NOT FOUND
(6) QueryOpen ... loops trough all paths in the PATH variable, finding nothing
As you can see somehow the current directory is %USERPROFILE%\WINDOWS and not the Crystal Reports bin path in this environment at the time of loading the dll.
I have yet to discover why this is the case, but i tought i could share what I have found =)
The %USERPROFILE%\WINDOWS folder is not a standard Windows folder, and I think it is used by Citrix for some files (like win.ini)
This also shows why adding the bin folder to the PATH variable is a valid workaround for some, but for us this is not really a good solution as we need this to work out of our installer. We don't always have consultants do the installations for the customers and we cannot expect them to manually edit the PATH variable, and we don't want to add to the PATH variable in the installer unless this is the only way...
So, I hope this maybe can bring you closer to being able to reproduce it. I'm still looking into it, will post more if I find something else interesting

I have found another thread really interesting, might help you too.. here it is
There are a number of reasons this error can occur.   The most common is that the TNS connect descriptor can't be parsed correctly.
Read an article about this -- The main thrust was:
"You are using reserved symbols to identify the client computer. Sqlnet/Net8 has a character set for keyword value entries, which is restricted to single-byte characters. However certain single-byte characters are reserved symbols within Sqlnet/Net8. These reserve symbols are:
                  ( ) = \ " ' #
Sqlnet/Net8 passes client information, such as host, username, and program executable to the database during connection establishment as part of an 'exteneded' connected discriptor. Using a reserved
character can cause connection failures resulting in ORA-6413, Connection not open errors. In particular the open and close parenthesis symbols ( ) being used to identify the client computer.
This would be noticeable in the Sqlnet.log where the errors are shown."
This refers back to a bug Bug No. 813483
Problem: When a WinNT client machine is rebooted, the first connection attempt to the database fails with
ora-6413.
Diagnostic Analysis: connection fails on the first attempt after a machine reboot. Subsequent tries succeeds.
Reproducibility: every time.
The second issue:   Check your tnsnames.ora file if you are missing the "_" or "underbar / underscore" of any   line, this error will be returned. ( ie, like   ADDRESS_LIST or CONNECT_DATA
ie:
xxxx.foo.bar.com =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
        (ADDRESS =
          (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
          (PROTOCOL = TCP)
          (Host = server.foo.bar.com)
          (Port = 1521)
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID =xxxx))

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:

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

Error while trying to install Crystal Reports 2008 SP3

Has anyone else come across this error before when running the SP3 update installer;
Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Update is not allowed to install because a patch with a higher version was detected.
The installation then terminates. There has been nothing installed on this server to do with Crystal, aside from CR2008, SP1 and then the attempt at SP3.
ANY help appreciated
Edited by: Ludek Uher on Aug 18, 2010 2:07 PM

Priyanka,
I'm already extremely annoyed that a new server build requires installation of CR2008, then SP1 before SP3 will even allow installation. Adding SP2 into the mix just makes it seem like none of the developers tested anything (which I'm seeing from just about every software company I deal with these days).
Besides, the 'SAP Business Objects Support Software Downloads' page no longer lists SP1 or SP2 as available downloads, so I'm going to have to try Don's solution first.
Regards.

Crystal Reports 2008 - Error setting new datasource location

Hi All,
We are experiencing an issue while trying to set datasource location for our RM 3.0 reports in Crystal Reports 2008 designer. As per guide "SAP BusinessObjects Process Control 3.0 and Risk Management 3.0 - How to build and Personalize Custom Crystal Reports" (step 11), after opening the desire report we go to DataBase-->Set DataSource Location and when selecting our RM system (which actually has the BI content addon installed on it), we got the following error message:
"Some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source. Please verify the table required for any unmodified tables"
I'm new on this so I'm not sure if the table indicated in the original datasource should exist in my DB (new datasource) before doing this? If so, how those tables are imported or created in our DB?
Could you please help me on this issue?
Please let me know if any other detail or data is required.
Regards

Hi Don,
Thanks for the update.
Actually I've installed SAP Integration Kit and its Fixpack in both....BOE Server (which is the same as the SAP server) and in client pc. In all cases we have select a typical installation which supposes the required drivers are available. Also I've followed Ingo's documentation to activate and publish standard Risk Management reports (RM reports). Everything works ok with them. We are able to access reports through the application.
The issue appears when trying to customize one of these standard reports through CR Designer. For example if we select the "GRRM_Risk_by_Risk_Category" and try to customize it as indicated in the "SAP BusinessObjects Process Control 3.0 and Risk Management 3.0 - How to build and Personalize Custom Crystal Reports"...the table behind this report (table GRFN_CY_API_GRRM_R1) it's not in our RM System. My main concern or question is regarding this....Did I miss something while importing transports files, activating or publishing RM reports, etc....and thatu2019s the reason why this (and any other) table is not already in my system? I was not able to find where those tables are supposed to be or how they should be imported in my system. The odd thing is...that we are trying to customize and set the new data source for these reports to the same system from where they are being opened. Put in this way...RM reports have been activated in system A (RM System) and published to system B (BOE System). While customizing reports through CR Designer...we are actually opening reports from system A. These reports have as their original data source...a demo SAP system info (uxcir1p.wdf.sap.corp) and when we want to update this data source with our RM system....the error appears. The whole process is explained in the above mentioned guide for your reference.
Hope being clear enough..
Thanks for your help

Error in Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime Version = 12.2.3.467

Dear Support Team
 
 
I am making the setup for our application using InstallShield 2010.
 
 
I recently updated the crystal reports 2008 runtime to version = 12.2.3.467.
 
 
Based on this article
 
 
 
 
Topic of the week (October 15, 2009)
 
Date time field is blank when using ADO .NET dataset and Crystal Reports 2008, Service Pack 2.0
 
This is a new issue, very specific to CR 2008 and SP 2. Date time fields are stripped out of a report (or not
 
visible), if a report is consuming a .NET dataset which contains a date time field. A technical escalation has been
 
submitted and a work-around is detailed in note number 1392258
 
 
 
Since DateTime Column was not getting displayed in the deployment machine when running the report.
 
 
So I downloaded the Crystal Report 2008 FP2.3 and merge module for the same and installed on my development machine
 
 
where I am making the Setup.
 
 
I am able to make the setup successfully without errors, but when I try to install the setup on the deployment machine I am getting
 
the errors as
 
 
Error 1904.Module C:\Program Files\BusinessObjects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\CEReportSource.dll
 
failed to register
 
Same message pops up for N number of Crystal Dlls with message failed to register.
 
Even though as per article in your forums I am doing everything right.
 
I have correct Dll for VC++ 2005
 u2022
 
Microsoft_VC80_ATL_x86.msm; version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
u2022 Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
u2022 Microsoft_VC80_MFCLOC_x86.msm; version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
u2022 Microsoft_VC80_MFC_x86.msm; version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
u2022 Microsoft_VC80_OpenMP_x86.msm; version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
With exactly same versions as mentioned in the article.
 
 
I followed the article in your forum
 
Building a deployment project with Crystal Reports 2008 (12.1.0.892) SP1
 
Posted on Mar. 09, 2009 08:22 AM in Business Objects
 
The same sort of errors is coming but I am doing everything right as per that article.
 
 
To Inform you further before updating crystal reports 2008 runtime to version = 12.2.3.467.
 
 
Everything was working fine, only problem was that Date Time column was not displaying at runtime on the deployment
 
 
machine.

Dear Mr. Williams
I dont think this is the issue related to MS Installer. Still based on your suggestion I downloaded the latest MS Installer from Microsoft Website and Installed on my setup machine and made the new setup with zero errors and warning.
The deployment machine is having full rights and so there is no security issues related to installation even though to clear the confusion I installed the setup on three other xp machines the result was same even after installing the latest MS installer on those machines as well.
I wanrt to remind it again since I was facing the DATE TIME column Issue problem in reports on deployment machines so I updated the Crystal Reports TO CRFP 2.3 EXE AND MSM as mentioned in your forums regarding this known bug that if datetime column is getting from dataset then that column was not getting displayed.
From that time onwards I am unable to install the setup on the deployment machines and I am getting errors unable to register errors crystal reports dlls.
Apart from that I downloaded Crystal Reports 2008 Fix Pack 2.3 - Redist Install (cr2008_fp23_redist.zip) from the download page but i can't open it I am gettinig the error message doesnt appear to be a valid archive.
Please help me and provide me some solution regardeing the issue I am stuck with.
With Regards
Arshad
