Crystal Reports 8.5 - Windows 7

Hi,
I'm currently using version 8.5 of Crystal Reports tio develop several financial reports. I use the Report Distribution Expert to distribute the reports and the end users install on their machines by running the 'setup.exe' file. However, since some users have upgraded to Windows 7 (32-bit), we have had issues with them installing the reports. When going through the installation wizard, it comes up with the message' Setup system error'.
I have found a way around this problem, as the user doesn't actually need to install by running the 'setup.exe'. Instead they can run the resource itself (e.g. 'Report1.exe'), as long as the other files of the same name ending in '.crf' and '.rpt' are in the same folder.
Even though this is a workaround, can you can tell me if version 8.5 of Crystal Reports is supported with Windows 7 and if not, which versions are?
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Unfortunately CR 8.5 is 10+ years old and the distribution Wizard no longer exists as of CR 8.5.
For platforms on what version supports which OS always refer to this link:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/support?rid=/webcontent/uuid/e01d4e05-6ea5-2c10-1bb6-a8904ca76411
If you upgrade you will need to get a Developer to build you a simply report Viewer and distribution Package, it's relatively easy to do. You can find SDK samples here:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsSDKSampleApplications
Distribution is much larger now due to OS and platform updates and lots of other reasons.
You may want to look at third party Tools also.

Deploy Visual Basic 6.0 RDC application using Crystal Reports 9 on Windows Vista

Post Author: albe
CA Forum: General
When attempting to deploy a Visual Basic 6.0 Report Designer Component (RDC) application using Crystal Reports 9 on Windows Vista systems, the application fails after the first print or preview (that show normally) and an error occurred: -2147417848 Method '' of object '' failed.
The app use the RDC and Active Data; I verify that the problem is encountered when the app calls the 'SetDataSource' method.
I tried everything that came in my mind: reinstalling it a few times, with administrator priviledges, disabling uac, manually registering dlls, ...
I hope that this will be fixed, since Crystal Report 9 is the last CR version compatible with windows 98.
thanks in advance,
Alberto

After installing Crystal Reports XI on Windows 2003 server with one error..

After installing Crystal Reports XI on Windows 2003 server with one error... REGSVR sapldap.dll error. I had to regsvr it manually. Crystal still didn't run. Found out that Crystal Reports XI will not run until you change DEP to protect only windows program and services. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing your finding. Very much appreciated.
The DEP is a known issue and it is documented in [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do] note.
Crystal Reports XI was not compiled with the nx flag as it released before Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows 2003 Service Pack 1.
As for the sapldap.dll. I'm not sure where this is coming from. I do not see this dll on my install, however it does come with the SAP portal integration kit. So I'm not sure if that is flying around somewhere on that server(?)

Problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on windows application ("specified type is not valid ")

Hi
I am having problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on one of my windows application.
I am not sure how to put the Crystal Report Viewer 11 Control onto the tool box.
I could found a Crystal Report Viewer control on my computer, but it is version 8.5.
I have also found another one which is Called Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, i don't think it is the one I can use. As when I try to load a dummy report on to the Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, It return an error. "specified type is not valid"
Please see the Code sample below.
private sub loadReport()
 Dim r as New ReportDocument
 'v is the name of the Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Control
 r.Load("C:\Report1.rtp")
 v.ReportSource(r) <---It throw error on this line.
End Sub
Could you give me some advice about what have I done wrong, How to check if I have set up the Crystal Report Component correctly in my Visual Studio 2005 Standard edition.
Thanks in advances.
Many thanks
Chi

VS 2005 Standard and Express editions do not come with Crystal Reports; only the Professional and higher editions will have CR bundled. However, I believe you can purchase CR XI R2 Developer and it will give you the components you need to create a VS .NET 2005 application using the Standard edition.

Crystal Report Viewer and Windows Vista

Hi,
We are using RDC methodology for launching the crystal reports in the web using ASP.
The web server operating system is Windows 2003, Crystal Reports XI is installed in it. Report is not launching in only one client machine. For all the other client machines reports are launching perfectly. The problem is blank white activex control is displayed. I tried to register the crystal reports viewer (ActiveXViewer.cab available in the crystal installation folder) deliverables in the client machine but after installing the deliverables same problem persists.
When I click on the Crystal Report viewer Internet Explorer Exception occurs

Hello,
First thing to do is upgrade to [CR XI R2 SP4 full build|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100011802732008E/crxir2_sp4_full_build.exe]. Then get up to Service Pack 6 and you should not have problems with Vista.
CR XI R1 will not and has never been tested on that OS.
If you do not want to upgrade though use Process Monitor to watch for Access Denied errors. Also run IE in Compatibility mode.
Likely what is happening is your test PC doesn't have rights to install ActiveX controls.
Thank you

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 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.

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:

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

How to connect to a Unix from Crystal Reports running on windows?

Any idea on how to connect from windows Crystal Reports X1 client to a Unix box
file directoriesu2026 
 
Any suggestions would be much appreciatedu2026 

Edited by: DarkNight on Nov 13, 2009 10:42 AM

Hi Darknight,
What is it you want to find once you are connected? Since you posted this in the Database Connectivity forum I assume you want to connect to some DB or flat file on that server? If it's a DB then use the client to connect from windows. If it's a flat file then you should be able to use whatever connection utility you use to see the file system from windows. I don't know Unix so not sure but need more details.
Thank you

Crystal Reports 2008 on Windows 7

I have a client running Crystal Reports 2008 in a Windows 7 environment. The client states that when printing Crystal Reports, they will only print to his local printer, to the bypass tray. The client states that when changing the printer to any other network printer, the Crystal Reports will not print. The client also states that printing from other applications, such as his accounting software (Peachtree), Open Office, e-mail, etc. he is able to print to any printer without problems. Does anyone know if there are any outstanding problems with running Crystal Reports 2008 in a Windows 7 environment, or has anyone heard of this type of issue before?
Thank you,
Tammi

Thank you, Don. I have not verified if the client has downloaded and installed the Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 update yet or not, nor do I know which SP of Windows 7 they are running. I will forward this information to their IT person and have them confirm this for me.
To answer your other questions, I had disassociated the printer with the reports (we also check the NO PRINTER box before saving the reports). The client claims that the printing does not work in either the Crystal Reports Viewer, nor through the Designer. They are using this as a locally installed application (Windows not Web).
Thank you again for your suggestions. I will get them implemented right away, if they have not been.
Best regards,
Tammi

I found another thread similar to the error I am getting which recommended adding Everyone to the Permissions on the C:\Windows\Temp folder. With this set, when I try to navigate to the report on the web app I don't get the error as before - but the application just sits there and spins it wheels and nothing happens. When I take off this permission I am back to the previous error.
Theres nothing revealing in the eventlogs that I can see.
Do you think this could be down to IIS just not knowing what to do with a .rpt file?

Crystal Reports Supported on Windows Server 2008?

Right now, we have it running on Server 2000, but server is being replaced. Would like to go with Windows Server 2008, but, making sure application compatibility first. I have searched the internets, have even called, and cannot get a straight answer.
What Windows OS does Crystal Reports support? And by support, I mean "work without glitches".

Well, there's both gated and ungated content, but Crystal Reports, Crystal Reports Server and Crystal Xcelsius should all have ungated equivalents.
It's just that not everyone on this side of the web browser has got the message.
I do regret this.
The CR2008SP1 supported platforms (ungated) is found here:
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0d494c2-696b-2b10-e8b5-e7083c7be019]
Windows 2003 is supported, and Windows 2008 is supported starting with SP1.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda
