Crystal Reports 2008 SP0 on x64

Post Author: rickripe
CA Forum: General
Hi,
We have installed CR2008SP0 on Win64 and have been trying unsuccessfully to invoke the .Net objects through COM interop from classic ASP code. What we have done is create a .Net component that instantiates the necessary CR objects. When we attempt to do the Server.CreateObject from ASP we get the following error:
An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime. Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient, or the Crystal Reports runtime is 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.businessobjects.com/support for more information. at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.CheckForCrystalReportsRuntime()
We have installed the full version of CR2008 on the machine in question - so I would assume that no additional runtimes would be required.
Has anyone managed to get CR2008SP0 working correctly on x64? We've logged a support case with Crystal, but we've had no response from them as yet (3 days later).
Rick.

Hi,
CR 2008 is not supported on 64 bit OS.
You can use that on 64 bit matchine when you run application under 32 bit.
Following kbase from microsoft may help you in this regards:
"Running 32 bit application on 64 bit OS"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435"
Versions of Crystal Reports for which 64 bit runtimes are available for deployment on production or aserver machines are:
1. Crystal Reports For Visual Studio 2005 (CR 10.2)
- which is CR that comes bundled with VS 2005
2. Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008(CR 10.5)
- which is CR that comes bundled with VS 2008
Hope this Helps!

No SAP Datasources or SAP Toolbar in Crystal Reports 2008

I cannot see the SAP toolbar or SAP datasources under "Create New Connection" in Crystal Reports 2008 SP1.
After reading many threads on SDN and reistalling Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 and the BOBJ SAP Integration Kit many times I have not been able to get this to work. I have installed the following in order:
- SAP GUI for Windows
Release: 710
Build: 1046700
Patch Level: 12
includes the BW 3.5 AddOn and BI 7 AddOn
Crystall Reports 2008 SP1 which I installed all components except Legacy XML Export.
Business Objects XI Integration Kit XI 3.1 for SAP which I installed all desktop components and all server components excluding web content and SDK. This was a local install on my PC.
I have ensured that I have only one instance of SAPLOGON.ini on my PC.
I have not applied the transports yet because I want to see the SAP datasources and SAP toolbar in Crystal Reports before I progress.
We do not have Business Objects Enterprise and I'm not sure what "BOE 3.1 Client Tools" is referred to earlier in this thread. My understanding is that in addition to SAP and BW we just need Crystal Reports 2008 and the SAP integration kit.
We are on ECC6 and BW 3.5.
I hope someone can help.

Hi Stratos,
Thanks for your response. I finally got this working. My issue was that I originally used the Crystal Reports 2008 and BOBJ Int Kit downloads from the SAP support portal. I checked with another SDN user Steven Dierick - thanks Steven - for the version of Crystal Reports 2008 he was using (version 12.0.0.683).
I downloaded Crystal Reports 2008 version 12.0.0.683 and the BOBJ Int Kit from the downloads section of sdn and it works!! SAP Toolbar, datasources and everything.
Considering I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 SP0 are there any disadvantages of not using Crystal Reports 2008 SP1?
If I'm better off using SP1 where should I download Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 and the appropriate BOBJ SAP Integration Kit?
cheers,
John

Printing Extremely Slow Using Crystal Reports 2008 ActiveX Print Control

Problem:
We are trying to upgrade our existing Crystal Reports 10.0 ActiveX Viewer ASP based reports to the new Crystal Reports 2008 ASPX Report Viewer but are having print performance issues that have prohibited us from moving forward.
Environment:
Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition 32-bit with SP1
IIS 6.0 running ASP .NET version 2.0.50727
Crystal Reports 2008 SP0 with FP1
Crystal PrintControl.dll version 12.0.0.796 (verified on server and client)
Details:
Crystal Reports 2008 ASPX Report Viewer Object & ActiveX Print Control Report Printing Scenario
From a typical 27 page report, the user clicks the Print icon from the ASPX Report Viewer Object.
The Print window with the message Crystal Reports Print Control immediately appears on the screen. This window is on the screen for approx 30 seconds.
The Print Setup window finally appears on the screen. The user verifies the printer, chooses to print pages 1-5, and clicks the Print button from the window.
The Retrieving page 1 message appears in the Print window. The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
The Printing page 1 message appears in the Print window. The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
The Printing page 2 message appears in the Print window. The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
The Printing page 3 message appears in the Print window. The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
The Printing page 4 message appears in the Print window. The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
The Printing page 5 message appears in the Print window. The message is in the window for less than 1 second.
After 3 MINUTES of waiting the report finally starts printing.
Crystal Reports 10 ASP ActiveX Report Viewer Report Printing Scenario
From the same typical 27 page report that was used in the Crystal Reports 2008 scenario, the user clicks the Print icon from the ASP ActiveX Report Viewer.
The Print window Immediately appears on the screen. The user verifies the printer, chooses to print pages 1-5, and clicks the Print button from the window.
The Print window Immediately disappears from the screen and the report Immediately starts printing.
The entire print process takes only 3 u2013 4 SECONDS.
Even though we are trying to get the users to decrease the amount of paper used in report printing. They still do a significant amount of printing. The difference between the print performance using Crystal Reports 10 (3-4 seconds) and Crystal Reports 2008 (3 minutes) is totally unacceptable to our users.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there a known fix for it? This is the only thing holding us back from our upgrade and it has become very frustrating to us.
Much thanks to anyone that can shed some light on this.

Hi Brian,
Please have a look at [this|Crystal 11.5 Activex control for viewer; post.
However, have you tried with the No Printer options available in Print Options window from designer?

Crystal Reports 2008 runtime error while running on Windows Server X64

I have a .NET web application compiled as X86 in Visual Studio 2008 invoking Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 that's running fine at a number of sites running Windows Server 2003 X86.

When deploying this app to Windows Server 2008 X64 I get the error message below. 

I'm aware that there is an unanswered question similar to this already in the forum but my application is compiled for X86 and I've tryed installing a variety of run times including "crruntime_12_2_mlb.msi" and "crredist2008_x86.msi".

What combination of compile and run time is needed to get around this issue?

Thanks.

See [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567] wiki. I think I may not have that wiki updated up to FP2.5, so the FP2.5 msm is here:

Check the version of the CR assemblies referenced in your project. The use the wiki above to deploy the correct runtime.

Crystal Reports 2008 in Windows Vista x64 + IIS7 DOESNT WORK!!!!!! HELP!

Hi,
I´m developing an application with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and Crystal Reports 2008 Professional
(i´m not using the Crystal Reports 2008 for .Net basic)
As I have Windows Vista x64, my ASP.NET applications run under IIS7, but for my surprise, Crystal doesn´t work under Vista x64 + IIS7. I got the following error:
An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime. Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient, or the Crystal Reports runtime is 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.businessobjects.com/support for more information.
When I run the same routine in an Windows Application the error doesnt occur. It only happens under Web Applications.
I tested in a Windows Vista 32 bit and there´s no error....

Hi Fernando,
Please read and follow the [Rules of Engagement|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/rulesofEngagement] for future topic posts as yours violates the current policy.
You will need to build your application to run in 32 bit only mode. This note explains how to do it:

Crystal Reports 2008 x64 Runtime

When running a Crystal Reports 2008 and Visual Studio .NET 2008 windows application on a 64 bit Windows Server 2008 the following error message appears : "An error has occoured while attempting to load the Crystal Reports Runtime. Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient, or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly. Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi) containg the correct version of the Crystal Repors Runtime (x86, x64, or itanium) required."
I read in the forum that this error message appears because there are no 64 bit dlls for Crystal Reports 2008.
Well, I've installed either CR2008RedistSetup and CRRedist2008_x64.
When compiling the application in Visual Studio .NET 2008 I need to use the 32 bit mode or the 64 bit mode.
How can I do to solve it?

Only the .NET 2005 (CR 10.2) and .NET 2008 (CR 10.5) bundles are 64 bit. You must compile the app as 32 bit and use the 32 bit CR runtime. Runtime file links are here;
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567
More information re. 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Crystal Reports is in [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10d5fa88-2013-2c10-c9a5-f11963607d4e] article.

Crystal Report 2008 in Visual Studio 2008

Greetings all,
I faced a problem here when trying to implement a web application on a Windows Server 2003 Release 2 64bit. The web application is developed using Visual studio 2008 on a development PC running on Windows XP 32bit. The application basically will pass some parameters to the crystal report before loading it for viewing. When this application is implemented on one of our client's server which is running on Win2003 32bit, it was perfectly fine. However, when this same application is implemented on a windows 2003 r2 server x64, it somehow prompted an error on top of the page (just before the report viewer object) of the below message:
This field name is not known. Error in File [temp_location_of_rpt]: Error in formula '{Vendors.company_code}={?Company_Code} and ' This field name is not known.
As the application was working fine running under win2003 r2 x32, I configured the x64 server to enable the 32bit IIS mode on the server by running the below command:
cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32BitAppOnWin64 u201Ctrueu201D
Then proceeded with reinstallation of 32bit .net framework which surprisingly able to run the web application just fine (including viewing the report). When I deactivate the 32bit on the IIS (as the client needs to run the IIS on 64bit mode), the error appears again stating the formula error and field name not known when trying to load the report.
Anyone faced similar to this problem or any gurus and expers here can help? Would appreciate all help and guidance.

Hi Brian,
I did try to create a report without any parameters passing through the web application, in which merely to load the report that connects to the database and grab records for viewing but to my amazement, the rows of record displayed is max up to 1 row (even there are many rows in the database table). I am curious if the problem lies in the connectivity issue between crystal and oracle. Now I am wondering if there is anyone out there who manage to get the web application (visual studio) interfaced successfully with crystal report to load data directly from oracle running on IIS 64bit? Or even any other database engine where the web application is running on IIS 64bit mode?
For the time being, I am re-constructing the report to use XSD for the intention to pass the data through dataset from the web application to crystal report. It's a time consuming but I guess that's the only way to work around it.
Would appreciate if anyone have any leads to get the crystal report working on IIS x64 mode.
Thanks.

Crystal Reports 2008-Vista-ERROR-crw32.exe Entry Point Not Found in dll

Hi Experts,
I just installed the Crystal Reports 2008 (with SP0) on my Vista (Home) machine. When I try to start the CR 2008, I am getting the below error message:
Error Title: crw32.exe - Entry Point Not Found
Error Message: The procedure entry point ?PrintLegend@CMapXLegend@CSLib300@@QAEXJJJJJ@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library cslibu-3-0.dll
Here are the things I tried to resolve the above problem:
1) Uninstall and Reinstall the CR 2008. - No change.
2) I configured the DEP to accept Crystal Reports (Performance - Advanced - DEP allow).
None of these seem fix the problem.
Can you please help me kick start the Crystal Reports 2008?
Thanks,
Arun

Please try with this:
Run a command prompt as administrator. From the start menu, select "All Programs", then "Accessories" and right-click on the "Command Prompt" shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator". From here you can use the following command to disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) with the following command:
bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOff
Keeping your command prompt open, run your setup or other process being stopped by DEP. Then, to turn it back on again, do the same and run the following:
bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOn

How is the best way to install the latest version of Crystal Reports 2008

I have been downloading for hours all the service packs, hot fixes, fix packs and chasing my tail for way too long on this.
I keep getting errors about a file being out of sequence.... I assume there is a very loooooong list of fixpacks that need to be applied!!!    This is such a nightmare.
Is there a simple way to just install the latest version of 2008 Crystal Reports?
If I have to follow a long sequence of updates, is it written down anywhere?
The reason for this in the firstplace is because I moved to Visual Studio 2010 with .Net 4.0 framework and now none of my crystal reports work.
I am using the full version of Crystal Reports 2008 installation, not the one built into Visual Studio
HELP!!!!!!

When I try installing SP2 it starts the update and just locks up... no errors... just sits there. I let it sit for about an hour.
Is it compatible with Windows 7 ?
When I tried installing a fixpack, I kept getting errors that a file was out of sequence.   I will try uninstalling all of Crystal and just reinstall in this order:
1. Crystal Reports 2008 from CD
2. Install Crystal Reports 2008 SP2
3. Install FixPack 2.6
This is what I tried the first time and got all the errors, but I will try it again...   is this correct?
(I don't need to install SP0 or SP1 or any other Fixpacks.... Correct?)

Crystal reports 2008 sp3 : An error has occurred while attempting to load t

Hello,
Please forgive me for posting in the CR .NET forum because we are using the full Crystal Reports 2008 product and I did not see a category for it. If there is a better forum for this question, please let me know or feel free to move it.
We are having trouble deploying our crystal reports 2008 reports to a Windows Server 2008 R2 server in an aspx application...
I have been working on this issue for 4-days and cannot seem to make any progress, so I would really appreciate your help.
Our Environment:
Development Computer (32-bit, WinXP)
VS2008 (fully updated, was not installed with its Crystal Reports feature)
Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 (downloaded and installed "cr2008_sp3_fullbuild")
Database Server (64-bit)
"SERVER2" is a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 server, fully updated
Web Server (64-bit)
"SERVER3" is a Microsoft Server 2008 R2 Web server.
We have an application that is installed on the Web server and it pulls data from the database server.
The webpages are accessing the database properly. There is a ShowReport.aspx webpage that has the
CrystalReportsViewer on it. We send parameters and logon information to ShowReport.aspx. ShowReport
works properly on our development computer and the report looks good, but it fails on the web server.
We downloaded CRRuntime_12_3_mlb.msi (X86) from SAP/CR and installed it on the web server without any issues.
Our application pool on the web server for this application is set to 32-bit mode. When I launch the
application, it works properly with the database and displays data on web pages, but when I try to
view a report on ShowReport, I get the following error message:
An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime.
Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly.
Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi) that contains the version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64, or Itanium) that is required.
According to everything that I have read, I have properly matched the DLLs: On the development computer, "cr2008_sp3_fullbuild" was installed; On
the web server, "CRRuntime_12_3_mlb.msi (X86)" was installed. They are both Crystal Reports 2008 and not .NET. CR.NET was not installed on our development computer, so our application was built with full Crystal Reports 2008 SP3. On our development computer, .ENGINE is 12.0.2000.0 and
the same version is on the web server.
So, I am completely at a loss as to why we are encountering this error. Help, Please!!!
Thank you in advance,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Did you set your project for X86 mode only? If not do so and rebuild and deploy your app.
Thank you
Don

Crystal Reports 2008 Redistribution on 64 Bit Server

I have a small application that uses Crystal Reports 2008 in not-integrated mode. Meaning that the .rpt files are seperate from the web application and the web application has to know the absolute path to the .rpt files before it can run them. My question is how do I deploy Crystal Reports 12 to a windows server 2003 x64 server? I have installed the redist.msi and the reports won't work I keep getting the following error:

My only guess is that there is some configuration I am not doing on the server. Can someone help me?

I think the frustration is coming more from the combination of lack of support for x64 (quite surprising for such an established product) combined with a site that's very difficult to navigate and use (the BusinessObjects site).
We ourselves have also just invested a great deal of time in building some Crystal Reports for a pilot system for a large US Insurance Company and cannot choose to avoid a 64-bit target server. We deploy at the end of next week and though we can compile deliberately for 32 bit as outlined in your post, this causes all sorts of other issues with other assemblies we are using that are not binary compiled for a specific platform and that we cannot ourselves recompile.
To be concise, your posted solution is not really a solution unless a number of other assumptions are true that we all know in practical terms to be unrealistic for anything but the simplest of apps.
For us, pulling Crystal at this point is embarassing for the customer (they specifically requested that we use it) and for Business Objects, and creates a deadline crunch in our project plan as we convert to Telerik or some other x64 solution.
We will certainly follow up with phone support to see if there are other choices (doubtful), but given that you offer a trial version of Crystal 2008 I think it's remiss that there are no clear guidelines in a publicly-reachable forum that discuss in detail how to deploy completely to x64 including ensuring that other related issues to using a 32-bit compilation on x64 are mentioned/covered. I certainly can see that even an advanced developer would continue to hold out hope that there is some configuration option combination that will work.
Finally, can you provide any guidance on when Crystal Reports will catch up to Windows 2000, 2003 and 2008 and provide a 64-bit runtime?

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 Runtime, Windows Server 2008 64-Bit AND SharePoint2007

Hi Guys,
here i'm again.
Well I'm developing on a 32-Bit OS with Crystal Reports 2008. I've deployed my solution to SharePoint, but when i try to call a report in the aspx-Website i get the following error:
Exception Details: CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.LoadSaveReportException: An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime. Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient, or the Crystal Reports runtime is 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.businessobjects.com/support for more information.
Here are the technical details:
- Windows Server 2008 (64Bit)
- IIS7
- Microsoft Office Server 2008 (64Bit)
- Crystal Reports 2008 SP3
I've read, that there isn't a 64-Bit runtime version of CR2008. Then i tryed the two following suggestions i found in this forum:
1. Try to run the IIS-Application-Pool in 32-Bit-Mode -> This don't work, because SharePoint then throws a "Internal Server Error - Code 500" (no SharePoint Sites are available).
2. Try to compile the Visual Studio Project as 32-Bit -> This don't work, because SharePoint could not load the assembly
Well, are there any other hints, suggestions or experiences how i could get this to work?
Thanks in advance,
Christian

Crystal Report 2008 on Windows Server 2008 64bit

hi,
I tried to run a Crystal Reports Web Application on a Windows Server 2008 64bit but I got this error:
"Bei der Erzeugung des Reports ist ein Fehler aufgetreten.
Der Typeninitialisierer für "CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument" hat eine Ausnahme verursacht.
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.LoadSaveReportException: Fehler beim Versuch, die Crystal Reports-Laufzeit zu laden.
Entweder reichen die Berechtigungen des Crystal Reports-Registrierungsschlüssels nicht aus, oder die Crystal Reports-Laufzeit wurde nicht ordnungsgemäß installiert.
Installieren Sie die geeignete verteilbare Crystal Reports-Datei (CRRedist*.msi), die die erforderliche Version der Crystal Reports-Laufzeit (x86, x64 oder Itanium) enthält. Weitere Informationen erhalten Sie unter folgender Adresse: http://www.germany.businessobjects.com/support/default.asp.

The System:
- Windows Server 2008 Standard 64bit SP2
- Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
- Oracle Client 10gR2 64bit
- I tried Crystal Report 2008 Runtime, Crystal Report 2008 Runtime SP1, Crystal Report 2008 Runtime SP2, Crystal Report 2008 Runtime SP3.
- Crystal Report Basic Runtime for Visual Studio 2008 (x64)
On a 32bit-system or 32bit-mode (and 32bit Oracle Client) everything is working fine. But I have to use the 64bit Oracle Client, therefore, Crystal Report have to work in 64bit-mode.
Is it possible and what is to do to get it working, thanks,
Martin

It does work on 64 bit OS - as a 32 bit application. CR 2008 is 32 bit only.
See the article [Crystal Reports support of 64 bit Operating Systems|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10d5fa88-2013-2c10-c9a5-f11963607d4e] for more info.

Crystal Reports 2008 and Sharepoint Services in 64bit

Hi,
I have searched and post questions about the problems with the fact that thera are no great support for 64 bit. And still no solution. Why? Why? Why?
Now to my question. I have Crystal Reports 2008 in a Windows 2008 64 bit. Yes, I have got it running with the help of: Enable32bitAppOnWin64. But now to my problem...
I want to run Sharepoint Services 3.0 on the same server. But read on Microsoft.com:
The hardware and software requirements described in this article apply to both x32-bitu2013based and x64-bitu2013based systems. However, if you installed the 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 and then modified the Enable32bitAppOnWin64 registry key so that Internet Information Server (IIS) is running in 32-bit emulation mode, you cannot install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. To install either 32-bit or 64-bit Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 you must run IIS in 64-bit mode.
Does this means that I cannot run my webapp and Sharepoint Services on the same machine just because you havent find any solution to the 64-bit problem? What to do???

Raymond,
We have 64 bit runtime for Crystal Reports Basic that comes with Visual Studio .NET 2008. The version number for CR Basic is 10.5.
It sounds like you are out of luck if you want to use Crystal Reports XI R2 or Crystal Reports 2008 because there are no plans to release native 64 bit assemblies in those versions.

Crystal Reports 2008 SP0 on x64
