Crystal Reports 2011 Installation Issue, key code not valid

Folks,
We have just purchased two licenses for the Crystal 2011 upgrade from DigitalRiver. The installation completes successfully, using one of the two "digital rights" keys that were provided in the confirmation email from DigitalRiver.
Upon launching Crystal Reports 2011 for the first time, though, we are being prompted with a License Manager window asking to add a key code for Crystal Reports. We enter the "digital rights" key provided by DigitalRiver, the same one used during the installation [copy and pasted from the email for accuracy] and receive the error message "The key code you just typed is not valid, please try again."
Canceling this window or clicking Ok simply closes the Crystal Reports application.
Any assistance in how to get the application running would be helpful.
Tested Environments:
Windows 7 Professional SP1, 32bit
Visual Studio 2010 w/ CR for Visual Studio 2010 installed
Windows Server 2008 R2, 64bit
Thanks,
Jeff

Follow-up:
We went through several iterations of installation and finally decided to mix things up to see if we could get a different response from the software. The items that we performed differently were as follows:
1. Ran the setup.exe as administrator [even though we have full admin access as the logged in user]
2. Hand typed the digital rights key rather than cut/paste from the email
3. Performed a custom installation rather than the default and de-selected all of the SAP and other software integration options.
The software ran fine without prompting with the License Manager.
My guess is that it was the removal of the integration pieces that allowed the application to run. We'll perform our next install with just that change and see if it is the culprit.

Crystal reports 2011 installation INS00140 "Invalid KeyCode" error.

I just purchased and downloaded the latest Crystal Reports 2011 (SP02) version and I am getting the infamous INS00140 Invalid KeyCode error. I have read and tried all the solutions that I could find in this forum, and some more quasi-solutions found on the web: I have tried the installation on 2 different XP workstations and even on a Windows 2003 server platform, TO NO AVAIL.
I have now spent a week 'Fiddling' around with this, and I am not IMPRESSED. Is there a REAL solution to this, anyone? I am not spending another week mucking around with this , and I need to know who to contact to get this RESOLVED...please.

Hello,
It is the crypt*.dll causing the problem. Some older program installed it into the system32 folder which is not MS Certifiable now. I found older versions of Adobe Reader put it in the \system32 folder but there may be others also.
What is in your PATH statement?
The problem is the version CR installs will be about 1.2 meg, older versions do not have the updates Cr requires and because what ever program is using it it's in memory so CR uses it which causes the install to fail. SP 3 I believe will have a fix from RSA and it will either be renamed and/or not sure what they are going to do to it to fix compatibility issues with older versions.
You could try just using the defaults in both the System and User:
PATH=C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;
Copy your path from the System Environment variables and then change it to something like the above and try again. Once Cr is installed then name it back. Problem is if that program that does need it runs first CR is going to break when trying to start it up. If that happens and it installs then try renaming the one in the \system32 folder and copy CR's in it's place. Change the PATH back and then re-boot and it may work. I believe the files is common for all and backward compatible so what ever program is using it should work with the one from the CR folder.
I'll pass this onto one of the guys here who is looking after these install issues and see if he has any more suggestions.

Crystal Reports Excel Export Issue - page footer not being displayed

We recently converted all Crystal Reports from Visual Studio 2003 to Visual Studio 2005 sp1, .NET 2.0, Crystal Reports for .NET. I have the latest merge modules from business objects. All reports & footers worked fine in VS2003 ... but now when I export to PortableDocumentFormat (PDF) or WordForWindows (DOC) the page footers appear correctly. But, when I export to Excel (XLS) like the code below, the page footers do not appear. We need to place a disclaimer at the bottom of every page of an exported excel document. I checked the print preview, and I tested printing the document ... the the footer is not being utilized properly by the Crystal Reports export.
System.IO.MemoryStream oStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream() ;
oStream = (System.IO.MemoryStream) report.ExportToStream(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.Excel) ;
Response.Clear() ;
Response.Buffer = true ;
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" ;
Response.BinaryWrite(oStream.ToArray()) ;
Response.End();

Crystal Reports 2008 - connection info in code not recognized

Application is vb.net using dynamic cascading parms and has been runnning fine in Crystal XI using VS2005. We upgraded to VS2008 and CR 2008 for compatibility with Windows 7. Now all reports do not recognize the data connection assignment that takes place in the code (they revert to the connection used at design time).
We set the connection (ci) which is later referenced as myConnectionInfo
          With ci
                .ServerName =
                .UserID =
                .Password =
                .DatabaseName =
                .IntegratedSecurity = False
            End With
And loop thru the tables.
            For Each myTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In myTables
                Dim myTableLogonInfo As TableLogOnInfo = myTable.LogOnInfo
                myTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = myConnectionInfo
                myTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(myTableLogonInfo)
            Next
The connection passes a TestConnectivity test. But rather than see the parameter form, a generic form displays with the ServerName filled and requests login info. If you do enter that manually(not normal), the CR parm form displays but dynamic parms do not have their combo box.
The report will run fine against the default data connection. The problem is the report no longer recognizes the coded connection change which is critical to reporting the proper information.

Hi Ludek,
I too am facing the same problem. My environment detail is CR2008/VS2008 (Note I have no service pack installed yet). If I have a report with no dynamic parameter the report works fine with connection information provided in code but with dynamic parameter its not working even after the workaround you specified. I am getting the error
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.InternalException - Failed to retrieve data from the database
Here is my code:
protected void logonReport(string dbServerName, string dbName,
            string dbUserId, string dbPwd)

Crystal Reports 2011 Upgrade edition not installing

Hi, I bought Crystal 2011 upgrade on Friday and have been trying to install it. It seems to complete the installation but in the end I get this error message after clicking on Finish button.
Missing installdir reg key for installiverse, required for uninstall.
Key: SOFTWARE\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Installer\aurora
Value: Path
Checking the Crystal Directory under Program Files showing only Chart Support subdirectory.
Need some help with this issue.

1. Download the latest version of the installation package for Crystal Reports 2011. To verify the version of extracted package, open productid.txt file located at: {installation package}\DATA_UNITS\CrystalReports\.
Make sure it is not less than 14.0.2...
2.

SAP Crystal Reports 2011: Error INS00140 and other install errors

Hi all,
There have been many customers who have downloaded the Crystal Reports 2011 installation package and have run into an error when the installer attempts to recognize the keycode being used. The error received is "The Product Keycode is not valid INS00140."
This thread is meant to track all current resolutions that have been determined based on troubleshooting with customers thus far. In addition, the thread will provide you with the list of things that we need to know in order to properly troubleshoot the issue.
Before attempting any of the steps below, please be sure that you are using the latest version of Crystal Reports 2011 which is SP02. You can download this version from the SAP [website|http://www.sap.com/solutions/sap-crystal-solutions/query-reporting-analysis/sapcrystalreports/index.epx].
Coy
====================
Resolution Options
Windows XP & Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable
If you are installing Crystal Reports 2011 on Windows XP, then you need to ensure that the following Microsoft patches are not installed on the machine. You can check this by using the Add / Remove Programs dialogue.
KB2467175
KB2467174
KB2467173
If any of these are installed, then please remove them before attempting to install Crystal Reports 2011.
Installing with Dashboard Design 2011 or Presentation Design 2011
If you are installing Crystal Reports 2011 on the same machine as Dashboard Design 2011 or Presentation Design 2011, then there may be a problem with the registry key that points to the location of the keydecoder DLL. To check this, launch run regedit and navigate to the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Shared Tools\keydecoder.dll
You want to make sure that the "path" key is pointing to the valid path for the keydecoder.dll. The correct path to the DLL should be: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x8keydecoder.dll.
Uppercase License Key
In addition to the above, you need to make sure that you are entering the license key in all uppercase characters. There is a current issue with the installer where it does not accept lower case characters.
Fix - Coming in SP02, but can implement manually for now
Locate the BCM-4-0.dll.2.Config file in the <install package directory>\dunit\product.crystalreports-4.0-core-32\actions
(replace crystalreports with crystalreportsjava for CR for Ent and xcelsius for dashboards)
Open BCM-4-0.dll.2.Config
Locate this line:
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="8.0.50727.0-8.0.50727.1434" newVersion="8.0.50727.4053" />
Modify the oldVersion number to make the line like this one:
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="8.0.50727.0-8.0.50727.4053" newVersion="8.0.50727.4053" />
This should allow you to install without issue.
Further Troubleshooting
If none of the above helps to resolve the issue, then we need the following:
The installation logs from the following folder: C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR USER NAME>\Local Settings\Temp\<DATE OF YOUR LAST ATTEMPTED INSTALLATION>
The results from attempting to run the keycode validator directly. You can find it under the folders that contain the installation package. For example, C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR USER NAME>\My Documents\CrystalReports2011\DATA_UNITS\CrystalReports\dunit\product.crystalreports-4.0-core 32\actions\isKeyCodeValid.exe -keycode <YOUR KEYCODE> -version 140 -property CR.EnableCR
You should submit a new forum post with relevant details about the error and provide links to download the logs generated by following the above steps.

1. Download the latest version of the installation package for Crystal Reports 2011. To verify the version of extracted package, open productid.txt file located at: {installation package}\DATA_UNITS\CrystalReports\.

Crystal Reports 2011 INS00140 error

I have been unsuccessful in installing Crystal Reports 2011. After I enter my name, company name, and key, it will pop up with the error after 30 to 45 seconds of waiting. I am uncertain if I have to uninstall Crystal Reports 2008. I have spoken to technical support. They gave me a few things to try however, the end result was the same. They mentioned to go back to the distributor and get another CD Key. I am not certain if that would even matter at this point considering I am not getting that type of error.
PC Spec:
Dell Precision T3500
Windows 7 Enterprise w/SP1
4GB memory
Intel Xeon W3550
Steps taken:
1. Downloaded latest files from SAP (53005711 and 51041020)
2. Made certain I did not have the MS KB2467175 update
3. Installed Visual Studio Pro 2010
Please let me know what else I can do to get this on my system short of reinstalling the OS.

I spoke with Sean Keaney. This is the email I got:
Hello,
Please follow the below steps to install CR 2011.
Symptom
The Product keycode is not valid. INS00140 Error appears in Validation Result window during Crystal Reports 2011 installation
Environment
Crystal Reports 2011 (patch level below SP02)
Reproducing the Issue
1.     Run Crystal Reports 2011 setup.exe
2.     Enter valid keycode when prompted
3.
Cause
This is known issue and fixed in ADAPT01538339.
There is a conflict between keycode validation process and Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Patch KB2467175
Resolution
The issue has been resolved in SP02, but as a quick fix uninstall the Microsoft patch, install Crystal Reports 2011 and reinstall the patch.
The link for patch download: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=2467175
Update: According to the latest information Microsoft replaced the patch with a newer security update.
If this does not work for your install please contact the team who provided the license key to you so they can check this against their records.
Should you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.

Hi All,
We are using Crystal reports 2011 in windows 2008 server which is CITRIX farm., having crystal reports 2011 runtime in it..
We are using .net applicationton to run the reports.
The crystal reports parameter popup is getting opened. But the calendar icon is not fuctioning ..clicking on the calendar control no pop up appears. no error too..
OK button is not responding. Cancel button too.
Can you please help us why we are facing this issue in CITRIX only. When we are using the same version in desktop, Crystal report is working fine.
Please feel free to ask if required any more details about my problem.
Regards,
Venkat.K

Ido's idea is excellent, only addition I'd like to make is the following:
You are trying to run a .NET app. However, CR 2011 does not install any SDKs. So, the directory specified by Ido is not correct. Assuming that by CR 2011 you actually mean "SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET", then the directory would be:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\Crystal Reports 2011\crystalreportviewers\prompting
If that does not help, use Process Monitor and see what the logs tell you (look for Access Denied messages).

Where are release notes for Crystal Reports 2011 SP10?

We've recently moved from Windows XP with an older release of Crystal to Windows 7 (64 bit) with Crystal Reports 2011. Where can you find what issues have been fixed? Despite finding a link with the text "Support and Feature Pack Release Notes" on the web page SAP Crystal Reports 2011 – SAP Help Portal Page, the document is for SP5. Where can you find issues known and fixed in each of the service packs (and known and not fixed)? I also looked at Analytics Knowledge Center and picked Crystal Reports and 2011 and the only release notes other than the initial release is for a FP3, which as near as I can tell is nowhere to be downloaded so I assume the SP1 replaced that...

Hi Eddie,
Release notes for SP10 are only available on the Service Market Place.
If you have an S-user ID, you may have a look at the document here.

Merge files or redist installer for Crystal Reports 2011

I cannot find packages for merge files or installer for the redistribution files for Crystal Reports 2011. I have found them only for older versions. In the download section there is somewhere a hint that they are at a different position but no information where.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you
Arne Ortlinghaus

Hi Don,
thank you. It is ok using the files you indicated me. But there are still some doubts.
What does happen on a machine where a designer 2011 (internal version 14) is installed and an application that uses the dlls for Visual Studio 2010 (internal version 13). Does this work without problems?
In a readme for the redistributables for Visual Studio 2010 I have found the following text which I cannot interprete:
If you have installed Crystal Reports 2011 or any of the SAP BusinessObjects XI 4.0 products,
you may notice that their installation contains the same "Crystal Reports 2011" and "SAP
BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0" folders as you see in this folder. Please note that the
folder/files names may be the same but most files have a different version, and are not
compatible with the Crystal Reports 2011 or SAP BusinessObjects XI 4.0 products.
Currently we want to upgrade our programs from Crystal Reports 9 to 2011 and we have many installations where for one machine the Crystal Reports Designer is needed together with our applications.

INTERNET CONNECTION NOT DETECTED message with Crystal Reports 2011

Hello:
We upgrade from SQL 3008 R2 to SQL 2012 SP1. Had trouble with Crystal Reports not opening reports. Information on the internet indicated that you had to reinstall Crystal Reports after upgrading SQL. We did a repair of Crystal Reports 2011. I have the box checked to check for updates when Crystal Reports starts. I am now getting INTERNET CONNECTION NOT DETECTED and the application will not check for updates. We have tried turning of the firewall and almost everything else we can think of. I have access to the internet from that server and IE9 works just fine. Can anyone help, please.
Thank You,
