Crystal Reports Dev8 install

I am trying to get Crystal Reports Dev8 installed along with Seagate Info Desktop 7.5. I have tried installing Crystal first and then Info Desktop first. After installing the two, when an .rpt file is double clicked, Crystal will open but displays a blank gray page. The .rpt file can be dragged into the window and will open or File->Open will also open it. I have tried all sorts of extension association and reassociation with no luck. Does anyone out there know how to remedy this?

Hmm. You're working with products that have been out of support for over 10 years... so answers will probably be quite hard to come by. My suggestion; download the latest fix pack or service pack for CR 8 and see if that helps. The downloads are here:
https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm
BTW., I'm not even sure if Seagate Info Desktop 7.5 was able to run version 8 reports, but that you can test easily enough.

Crystal Reports ClickOnce install fails after upgrade to run time 13.0.2

I realize this is very similar to two other posts but the ClickOnce failure was not addresses in the two threads I found.
Visual Studio 2010 V 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel
.NET Framework V 4.0.30319 SP1Rel
Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0 BuildVersion=13.0.2.469.Cortez_CR4VS (from ProductId.txt in the download folder)
Application was original developed using CR BuildVersion=13.0.1.220.Cortez_CR4VS
So since I upgraded this week, if a user clicks the Launch link on the deployment web page the application loads the appl;ication update and starts. Does not even check with Crystal Reports but everything seems to work.
The new version of the Crystal Reports runtime tries to install for users I have that enjoy clicking the run button. The install fails and points at a log file, the key part of which is
Installing using command 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe' and parameters ' -I "C:\DOCUME1\clyle\LOCALS1\Temp\VSDC8.tmp\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_2.msi" -q '
Process exited with code 1603
Status of package 'SAP Crystal Reports Runtime Engine for .NET Framework 4.0' after install is 'InstallFailed'
Uninstalling the previous version manually alleviates the failure as does manually running the msi on the target machine. But that kind of defeats the purpose of ClickOnce. Looking at product.xml that accompanies the runtime download I see it tests for the 13.0.2 version and bypasses the install if it finds it but it does not check for earlier versions.
Another thread I read indicated changing the switches in the install command would work but I am not clear on how to do that from ClickOnce, I cannot locate where the command is being given. Is there a way to get it to test for previous versions and delete them or force an overwrite using the ClickOnce?

Ludek,
Did this issue above every get resolved?
Here is what I have:
ClickOnce, Windows form app that uses Crystal. I upgraded to VS 2012 and Crystal right along
with it.
I only want the 32bit version to install, even on 64bit
machines. I have modified the
product.xml file to allow for this. Also
have some machines with version 13.0.0 and 13.0.1 of the Crystal ClickOnce msi
file. Would like to get everyone up to
13.0.6.
I am doing ALL this testing on clean VMWare installs.
Windows 7 x64 and Windows XP x86.
I force the 32bit install in the product file. (This I believe
is working correctly) And I do a version check, this is where the problem comes
in… Below, from the product file:
<InstallChecks>
    <RegistryCheck
Property="CRRuntime32Version" Key="HKLM\SOFTWARE\SAP
BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Crystal Reports"
Value="CRRuntime32Version" />
</InstallChecks>
Note to path in the registry. This path which is installed
by CR is different for Win7 vs WinXP, not sure why? In Win7 the path is:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP
BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Crystal Reports
Also if you have version 13.0.0 installed there is no entry
in the registry for the version number at all!
The log file also show that it can’t find the version if 13.0.0 is
installed.
Admittedly the error log shows that it is somehow finding
the version if it is 13.0.1 (nothing for 13.0.0)? But even though I have it set
to skip the 13.0.6 install if the version check is 13.0.1 or higher Crystal
attempts to install anyway, and it fails in the process, halting the entire
ClickOnce install.
In summary. I need to
be able to check the version currently installed and update it to 13.0.6. This fails and seems to be a bug?   Hopefully there is a work around.
Thanks,
Jim

Crystal Reports Server install from download

I have been tasked by my manager to install & evaluate Crystal Reports Server.
I have gone to the evaluation download site and downloaded the part 1 & 2 files.
Part 1 extracts and give an error message stating that the archive is incomplete. Once unzipping the part 2 there seems to be no setup.exe ?
Can you help me install this evaluation software ?

I have confirmed I am a local administrator, and there are no policies preventing installation.
I have installed this same software on other servers before.

Crystal Reports 2008 install on Windows Server 2008

I am trying to do a typical install of Crystal Reports 2008 on Windows Server 2003 and I keep getting an error that says "ReportConvTool.dll failed to register" and then the same error for other dll's, Myinfoview.dll, Encyclopedia.dll, etc.. What can be the problem?
I installed on a Vista machine with no problems.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

Hi,
I will not be able to provide the 'why' of this issue but per my research, these are how other users have done to get through this issue:
Please ensure that your Windows Server 2003 version is supported in your version of CR 2008 by going through the platform support document in our SMP
First scenario:
Continue with your installion ignoring the error message and manually register those DLLs afterwards
Second scenario
Continue with your installation ignoring the error message. Go to Add/remove programs and uninstall CR 2008 and reinstall it anew
Third scenario
Those DLLs indicates you have other BO products installed in that Windows server 2003. If it is just a test box, remove those products and reinstall them.
I've listed the steps from easy to complex and hopefully one resolves your issue.
Worst scenario, please log a ticket to Support through our Service Market Place (SMP)

Unable to install Crystal Report 8.5

Hi all,
I really need some help as I have problem installing Crystal Report 8.5 on another hard disk as my previous hard disk crashed.
I have tried the calling tech support hotline @ 800-4922129 but they said they are not able to find my company's name in their database.
It might be due to the merging of SAP + Crystal Report and this crystal report is installed way back in Year 2001.
The technical support personel said there is nothing she's able to help me if I do not have the customer no and the only way is for me to post @ the forum at this website.
My company is currently based in Singapore.
The only information I have is the CD Keycode,Product Keycode and Crystal Decisions Registration Number.
I have 5 license Key which was bought way back in Year 2001.
The problem arises during the installation after I entered the "CD Keycode" and they prompt me to enter the "License Key" which I do not have it.
Would really appreciate your fast response from you guys as I really hope to settle this issue asap.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ryan Teo

Crystal Report Viewer Control error

Please Help, I have a web application developed in .net 2005 which is using crystal reports developer product version 10.0.0.533.
This web application with crystal is working fine on my local machine with OS windows xp, but on the windows server 2003 the application web form is running into "couldnot load file or assembly 'CrystalDecision.VSDesigner, Version=10.0.0.3300' or one of its dependencies"
I have compared the assembly information of my local machine with that of the server and could not see the crystaldecision.vsdesigner version 10.0.0.3300 on the server 2003. I have uninstalled microsoft .net 2005 and crystal reports and installed crystal first and visual studio .net 2005 next and vice versa but still could not see that particular assembly available in the windows 2003 server.
Please suggest as what to do for the assembly to be available on the server so crystal report viewer control can be created with out error. Thanks for any help.

Hello Sunitha,
Visual Studios 2005 ships with a bundled edition of Crystal Reports. This bundled edition is based on the v10 code stream, but it is not CR10. It's CR.NET for Visual Studios and it's v10.2. Crystal Reports 10.0 and the bundled CR.NET 10.2 for VS2005 are not interchangeable.
The stand alone version of Crystal Reports 10 is not expected to integrate correctly into VS2005. If you have CR10 Developer installed on your VS2005 machine you can force VS2005 to use the CR10.0 assemblies, but it is not supported.
You need to clean up your application so that it's referencing the 10.2 version assemblies and then deploy the 10.2 runtime files. You can visit the [Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET Runtime Distribution - Versions 9.1 to 12.0|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/bobj/crystalReportsruntimeforVisualStudio.NET] Wiki for a nice overview of the various versions of Crystal Reports, as well as a listing of the runtime files to match the version of Crystal Reports that is being used. For VS2005 and bundled CR.NET look at the "CR 10.2 (VS .NET 2005)" section of the Wiki.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

Sub report group tree in main report Using crystal report 12

Hi experts,
    I have a strange requirement like, same data needs to be grouped two different ways in a same report. Like
Store1:
    Summary of sales on each item chart
Store2:
    Summary of sales on each item chart
.....it goes like this
Department1(multiple stores)
      summary of sale on each item chart - store1
      summary of sale on each item chart - store2
     --........ it goes
Department2
      summary of sale on each item chart - store3
--........ it goes
   Its in single report, the first part is grouped only with store and in second part the store is under department. How to do this in same report?
    I achieved this by creating a sub report to display the first part of data and in the main report sup report data plus the second part of data will be displayed. And its working well but now the problem is the group tree, I'm not able to see the sub report group tree in the main report.
   How to get the sub report group tree in the main report, Or is there any other better way is there so i can get both the data as well the group tree. Please help me to solve this. CryCryCry
I'm using crystal report 2008(installed separately) with Visual Studio2008 (.Net3.5)
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
    Yea both data source are same(Datasource is SQL Stored Procedure). I cant use like that, because my client needs the group tree also. In case if there is no group tree, we can create one more group and supress it conditionaly. But here the problem is there is no way to suppress any of the group item in group tree as we can do it in the detail section.
    So please me with some different ways and also , please clarrify the following doubts
1. Can we supress one or more items in the group tree.
2. Can we get the sub report group tree in main report(Everything is working when i used the sub reports except the group tree). So I'm trying for different ways to do, but none is helping me
Please help me

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.

Integrating Crystal Report 2008 Developer with Visual Studio 2008 Standard

I have Crystal Reports 2008 Developer version 12.0.0.683 on my computer. I also have Visual Studio 2008 Standard. I know the standard edition of VS 2008 does not have the bundled crystal reports, but since I bought the full version of CR 2008 separately, I figure I should be able to use CR within VS 2008. The problem I am facing is integrating Crystal Reports with Visual Studio, so I can create reports from within visual studio.
Crystal Reports was installed first and then Visual Studio. As per suggestions on this and other forums, I repaired my installation of Crystal Reports, but that did not help. I then ran Visual Studio integration manager, but when I run it, it only detects Visual Studio as the currently installed IDE, but does not detect CR 2008. I downloaded service pack 2 for CR, but have not installed it yet. I do not want to install it if it is not going to help. I would also like to avoid uninstalling my copy of CR if at all possible.
I am a newbie at development in visual studio. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rajib

Don't want to go against what Jason said as it may be correct - if we go strictly by the documentation provided (sorry Jason, Dan says...). However, here is something to try;
Uninstall CR. Look for any left overs; c:\program files\business objects\... and delete all of that.
Look in the registry for HKLM\software\business objects and remove the business objects entry.
Download CR 2008 from here:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
That is a trial version and I believe it is already at SP 1. Use your keycode to install. Once this is done, you should have the ability to use CR in .NET. I'd recommend you do apply sp 2 now also.

Crystal Report Print Engine API calls from Powerbuilder

I am using Crystal Report XI R2 with Powerbuilder 9.0. I am using Crystal Report API calls using crpe32.dll to display my reports. When i run my reports from my development machine where Crystal Reports is installed the reports run properly, but when i deploy my application on a server where Crystal Reports is not installed the report gives me error "Report has not been opened" , Error 599.
The database logon info is properly set in the RPT file.
I want to know whether it is possible to run reports without installing Crystal Reports and how do you do it?

Somehow, you will have to install the CR runtime...
Probably the best way will be to create a deployment project using a utility such as InstallShield, Wise, MS Visual Installer, etc. Use the RDC merge modules and add the crpe32.dll to the deployment project, ensuring the crpe32.dll is installed into the ...\3.5\bin directory. The Correct msm files are here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009381702008E/crxir2sp4_rdc_mm.zip
BTW., using the print engine APIs... Not something recommended, nor supported. Last header files for the crpe APIs shipped in version 9...
