Crystal Reports 2008 Merge Modules SP1 Fails when installing Wise 7.0

Hello all,
We are packaging our software solution .NET 2.0 Visual Studio 2008, with Wise Studio 7.0 using Crystal Reports 2008 Merge Modules (SP1). (We use CR2008 for reporting)
There is a point (fix service) in the installation when an error message appears saying, " cannot register Businessobjects.enterprise.sdk cannot be register because of dependencies.
We have tried installing in a XP, a Windows 2003 Server, and Vista. The three of them with the same error.
Any ideas???
Thank in advance.

Crystal Reports XI Merge Module Error

Hi,
I am attempting to create an installer that uses the latest (CRXIWIN_SP4) Crystal Reports XI merge module (CrystalReports11_RDC_Reportengine.msm).
When the installer is run an error often occurs (it only occurs on some machines and I have so far be unable to find a pattern as to which machines it fails on):
Error 1904.Module C:|Program Files\Busines Objects\BusinessObjects Entrprise 11\win32_x86\plugins\auth\secLDAP\secldap.dll failed to register. HRESULT -2147024770.
The dll in question (secldap.dll) is present on the machine at the point where the error occurs, but further inspection seems to indicate that a dependency is missing (though it's not clear what dependency).
The readme file supplied with the merge modules would seem to suggest that this is a defect in the merge module that has been fixed (ADAPT00409449).
Any help to sort this out would be much appreciated as I've run out of ideas!
Many thanks,
Simon Clarke.

Crystal Reports 2008 Fix Pack 1.7 - Redist Install - Corrupt

In an attempt to resolve ongoing issues with running Crystal Reports on my Development Server I tried to download Crystal Reports 2008 Fix Pack 1.7 - Redist Install today.
When I attempt to open the zip file, I receive an error stating the zip file is corrupt.

I have read the sticky, however it does not address my issue. I am not getting Crystal Reports run time errors or any other run time errors. Sticky states that I should not use the 1.1 - 1.7 redists if I have 'older' versions of Crystal Reports on my system.
I am stating that the zip file is corrupt. By that I mean, I cannot extract any files from the zip file because the zip file itself is broken.
When I try to open with 'WinZip' the error message I receive is:
"Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive."
I have downloaded the file twice.

Crystal Reports 12 merge module fails ICE validation during installation

Hi there,
I am using the CR 2008 merge module that I downloaded from this site, and am using MSI Factory 2.0 to install my product. The ICE validation fails during the build with the following errors.
C:\v9.wxs(6680) : warning LGHT1056 : The Directory table contains a row with primary key(s) 'INSTALLDIR' which cannot be merged from the merge module 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules\CRRuntime_12_0.msm'. This is likely due to collision of rows with the same primary key(s) (but other different values in other columns) between the database and the merge module.

Any ideas what this means?
Thanks,
Rod

Hi Falk, thanks for your interest.
Yes, I can build the setup, but I need to have zero ICE validation warnings in order to pass the Vista Certification process. It seems to me that the default merge module for CR2008 has been put together in a way that fails best practice - eg. ICE validation.
The merge module is simply added to a feature within the installer product, and if I turn on the switch to "Ignore ICE warnings", then the build works OK and I can install the product no problems. However if I turn off the "Ignore ICE warnings", then the build fails and stops dead.
The snippet I posted here was from the log file.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Rod

Crystal Report XI merge module in the setup and deployment project VS 2005

Hello,
We've purchased and implemented Crystal Reports XI into our software.
We are working on installation of our software. We included CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm into our setup package.
For English it's installs correctly. For any other language (like German) install package itself fails.
For user to see installation screens in German we created installation in German and then created transform for the language.
Install fails with the message "can't find p3smpen.dll in the package...."
This dll is related to the crystal reports. We wander if we need to include language merge modules for CR XI?
thank you

Hi,
What is the dll version of Crystal Reports?
Also give a try installing server install.
Sincerely,
Amit

Crystal Report 9 merge Module and its service pack 7.

Hello, My application is using Crystal report 9 and have its merge modules which are integrated in Installer. It has packages: rdcdesigntime.msm, rdcruntime.msm, reportengine.msm and Database_Access.msm which are already integrated in my application Installer. There are few issues which are fixed in its service pack 7 for CR 9(File: cr90win_en_sp7.exe).
Now my Q is:
1. Are there latest merge modules for CR 9 which has changes for SP 7 also incorporated? So that I can change modules in installer itself to have changes for SP7 also.
2. I couldn't get merge modules for CR 9 even from the site. From where I can get this?

Hi Neha,
Click [here|http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/runtime.asp#01] to download the availabe merge modules of CR 9.
Or
Click [here|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm] to get all the CR9 documents, mergemodules, fix packs etc. just you need to provide the "CR" as S/W product and "9" as a roduct version.
Also the Wiki [here|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsforVisualStudio.NETRuntimeDistribution-Versions9.1to12.0] is currently the best resource for CR.NET Runtime information.
Sincerely,
Amit

InstallShield 7.0 + Crystal Report 10 merge module

I previously posted an issue on CR10, running on Vista environment. As per feedback, CR10.5 supports runtime for Vista.
Now that we have this consideration, I just wanted to know if InstallShield 7 can include CR10 (10.5 or 10.2) merge modules to its package? We don't have license to upgrade to the newer InstallShield version, so I just wanted to know first if this is possible or not.
Thanks!

Hi, Frederick;
We do not have any specific information regarding which installer products work with our Merge Modules. Previous versions of our Merge Modules have worked fine with Install Shield 7, so there is no reason why the version 10 merge modules would not work.
The best advice at this point is to try it and see. If it does not work, you can provide any error messages here, and we can do what we can to help.
Regards,
Jonathan

Crystal 2008 Merge Module SP 2.2 - SP 3.0 Cannot Rebuild Setup Program

I have a project that did use Crystal Reports 2008 Merge Module sp2.2. We upgraded to Merge Module CR 2008 sp3.0 hoping for speed improvements. So far we cannot even build the setup program. The Installer is referencing CR 2008 sp2.2 AND CR 2008 sp3.0 merge modules now and then generates an error stopping the build process. We have gone through every referenece and even went so far as to delete the sp2.2 merge module. The installer still tries to add it. We have removed and replaced all referneces in the program for Crystal. Still same problem. We have been working with Installshield for 2 weeks on this problem but still no resolution. We had a terrible time figuring out all the dependencies for the CR 2008 sp 2.2 originally and eventually had to pay for Crystal support to even get this to work. I am very surprised at how hard it is to use Crystal Reports in a VB.Net project. Please help.

Hi,
WRT InstallShield, what version of InstallShield do you use and what type of project is it - InstallScript or MSI? There's an aritcle here on a couple of possible solutions for -5037 http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=Q109144&sliceId=
I've also seen a comment to turn off .NET dependency scanning for the components in the project, and add the components back in manually, to workaround the error.
For each new release of a Crystal merge module I replace the merge module in the location where the merge modules are held (e.g. C:\Program Files\InstallShield\2010\Objects), and then open my InstallShield MSI project, deselect the merge module in the Redistributables view and then reselect the merge module which refreshes the references to the merge module in the project. That said moving from CR2.2 to SP3 the merge module filename has changed so for SP3 this will be listed as a seperate Redistributable (or Object in InstallScript), but I've already built a setup using this without any issues, using this method of deselecting / reselecting the merge module.
WRT the Visual C++ libraries, I have to edit the Crystal merge module to change the ModuleDependency ModuleLanguage to language independant in order for the build to be successfull (as per this lengthy forum posting here 2008 SP1 Merge Modules). I'm sure you've already gone through all this pain!
Peter.

Where can I find the latest upgrades for Crystal Reports 2008

Hello all
My question is rather simple, I need to know. Where can I find the latest upgrades for:
1) Crystal Reports 2008 Merge Modules
2) Crystal Reports 2008 Runtimes.
Are they incremental upgrades ????
Thanks in advance..

Crystal Reports 2008 Missing Page Headers and Footers when Exporting Excel

After upgrading from Crystal Reports 9 to Crystal Reports 2008 we have noticed that when we export to Excel the document no longer retains the page headers and footers. After doing some reading I see that there is a property called ExportPageHeadersAndFooters that we can tap into. However, I am unable to get this to work for me. Below is my code, do you have any suggestions?
                ReportDocument rdReport = new ReportDocument();
                rdReport.Load(sReportFilePath);
                ExportFormatType exType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
                // create an instance of excel formatting options
                ExcelFormatOptions foFormat = new ExcelFormatOptions();
                foFormat.UsePageRange = false;
                foFormat.ExcelUseConstantColumnWidth = true;
                foFormat.ExcelTabHasColumnHeadings = true;
                foFormat.ExportPageBreaksForEachPage = true;
                foFormat.ExportPageHeadersAndFooters = ExportPageAreaKind.OnEachPage;
                // set up more exporting options
                rdReport.ExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
                rdReport.ExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
                rdReport.ExportOptions.FormatOptions = foFormat;
                rdReport.ExportToStream(exType);

I was able to get it to work but I had to do this.
ExportRequestContext expReqCntxt = new ExportRequestContext();
expReqCntxt.ExportInfo = rdReport.ExportOptions;
sExported = ((CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument)rdReport).FormatEngine.ExportToStream(expReqCntxt);

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.

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.
 
 
With Regards

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

Crystal Reports 2008 - Blank page on server only

Crystal Reports 2008 - Blank page on server only
My report is developed in the Crystal Reports 2008 Report Designer 12.0.0.683.
I have a .NET application that takes the report file, an ODBC connection and exports the resulting report to PDF. This application is deployed as an MSI and includes the Crystal Reports .msm merge module. The report uses multiple views and tables from a single database to create invoices in PDF format.
Problem: For one particular invoice, a blank page is being added to the end of the invoice. This blank page contains the report's standard page header. There is no missing data and no missing sections on the invoice. This is only occurring when the pdf is generated on a Windows Server 2008 x64 server where the application is deployed using the merge modules.
I have installed the application locally on my Windows Vista Business x86 system and the generated PDF does NOT contain the blank page at the end.
The blank page is not generated when previewing the report in Report Designer. For the particular invoice this is occurring on, footer F and footer G are blank and therefore suppressed.
Please bear in mind that this happens only for one particular invoice that uses this report file and does not happen from my local system using the same .rpt file.
The report is constructed of the following sections:
-Page Header (suppressed on page 1)
-Grp1 header A (watermark conditionally suppressed based upon a parameter)
-Grp1 header B (Keep together - always fits onto a single page)
-Details
-Grp1 footer A (Keep together)
-Grp1 footer B (Conditionally suppressed based upon data)
-Grp1 footer C (Keep together)
-Grp1 footer D (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section. New page before but (Not OnLastRecord))
-Grp1 footer E (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Grp1 footer F (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Grp1 footer G (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Report footer (Always blank. Suppress blank section)
-Page footer (Fixed static content, displayed on every page.)

Thanks for responding, Jonathan.
Is the same runtime installed on the 64 bit system? I notice from your version number that you do not have any service packs installed on the dev system. SP 2 is out and may help.
I have installed SP1 and SP2 this morning, resaved the report file and tried again but the same problem remains.
I'm not sure how to answer your runtime question. I am using the same application built with the same merge modules on both the dev machine and the production server. Of course, the dev machine has the additional complication of having Crystal Reports 2008 installed. Perhaps this is causing the difference?
Compare the printer settings between the two systems. Try installing the same printer driver on the 64 bit system.
Perhaps I am misinterpreting your suggestion, but I am not printing the invoices. I am only exporting them to PDF. It is the PDF that has the extra page. Is there a 'print to PDF' driver of some sort that I need?
Also, was the .NET application compiled as 32 bit, or Any CPU? Whichever it was, try switching it then recompiling to see if that helps.
I tried switching to Any CPU but this caused the Crystal Reports module not to load at all on the 64bit Windows server.
Thank you for your suggestions, but my problem remains. Is it worth trying with the redistributable msi rather than using the merge modules? If so, could you recommend which one I should use? I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional.

Crystal reports 2008 Fix Pack 2.4 Release Notes

It seems to be impossible to find any release notes for any of the fix packs. Can anyone point me to them?
Also if it's anyone from SAP reading this why are release notes not distributed in the downloads section or a link to them. It's a ridiculous situation not being able to find them, how are we meant to know if issues are fixed we raise or about fixes we should be installing and are not even aware of.
