Crystal Reports for VS2005 causes a Redistributable error for Windows 7

HI, I believe I also have a compatibility iossue with pre-bundeled Visual Studio 2005 (VS2005) Crystal Reports and Windows 7 using an XP development environment on a virtual PC.
I had built and published my VS 2005 desktop application code on a virtual PC running XP.After publishing the application executable to an application server for Windows 7 Kiosks machines to use. These Kiosks machines are used for Member Check In services. I discoverd that I get an error message when I attempt to print something from the application interface which says:
+"Please install the appropriate Crytsal Reports redistributable (CCRedist.msi) contaning the correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64, or Itanium) required. Please go to http://www.businessobjects.com./support for more information."+*
In attempting to resolve this issue, I went to the SAP site for help and discovered a help page on Merged Modules listed on one of the Web pages.
Next, I tried the suggestion one of the articles had mentioned about using CR2008 Click Once with VS2500 applications when deploying them. So I made sure that I unzipped this downloaded file and copied over the existing Click Once Bootstrap files, listed in the Windows 8 /Bootstrap/Packages, with those from the SAP downloaded files for 2008 Click Once.
Finally, I then rebuilt my application in VS2500 and published it using Click Once for the Windows 7 KIOSK to use.
Unfortunately, when I went to link and run the application's executable using the Windows 7 Kiosk in order to run it's interface, I still got the same error message when I tried to print out a member's Check In ticket. These tickets are created using VS2005 Crystal Reports.
Q) Did I do something incorrect when I used the SAP CR2008 Click Once merged module on deployemnt?
Thanks.
Tony

Hi All,
I have my application developed in VS2005 . When i am trying to print i am getting the following error:

I am using Windows 8 64-bit OS.

ClickOnce, Crystal Reports XI R 2 on redistributed right

I am running into two different problems that I believe are unrelated so I will place them in different posts.
Bottomline: my ClickOnce deployment does not correctly check to see if it needs to install the Crystal Reports redistributable.
I have a .Net/C# Windows Form application which uses the SDK to generate reports. I am using Visual Studio 2005. Early versions of my application used the Crystal Reports that is included with Visual Studio. I ran into a problem there that was fixed by moving to Crystal Reports XI. I am now using Crystal Reports XI Release 2 SP 3.6. I followed the steps in Note "1206112 - How to update a Crystal Reports XI Release 2 ClickOnce deployment package".
Frankly those instructions seemed strange to me because no changes were made to the product.xml file in regards to the checks made.
On the user's machines I have seen the following issues when they use ClickOnce to install or update my application:
Machines 1 and 2: ClickOnce decided it was not necessary to install Crystal Reports. User encountered a runtime error because the correct version was not installed. I cannot verify this anymore but I suspect they had an older version of Crystal Reports assemblies.
Machine 3 (and I suspect all machines): if you return to the ClickOnce webpage and install my program again it will install the Crystal Reports redistributable again and again... ClickOnce does not correctly understand that the redistributable has already been installed.
I first thought that the test of BuildNum against the value 240 just needed to be changed. However, on a clean machine (never had any Crystal Reports modules before) I installed the redistributable and it does not make the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports" Value="BuildNum".
So what is an appropriate check to see if the redistributable for Crystal Reports XI Release 2 SP 3.6 has already been installed on a machine?
Below are the contents of my C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\CrystalReports\product.xml file:
Thank you for your time,

I'm not sure what's going on with machines 1 and 2. This might be related to the issue you posted in your other thread, if you're creating packages from the non-working machines.
For the constant-reinstalling issue, I think there was a known issue relating to a registry key which never gets created. That can be rectified by changing the InstallChecks section of the product.xml file to look for a currently-installed product instead of that reg key. Give this a try and see if it works for you:
<InstallChecks>
<MsiProductCheck Property="CrystalRedist115_X86" Product="{A7FE99B6-E077-4F52-BC6A-E24C338F3C23}" />
</InstallChecks>
Note: I'm not sure if the product GUID changes per fixpack. That would be the million-dollar question.

Crystal Report 7 with Access 97 giving Error - 20536

Our client is getting an error at his machine.
Application is in VB 6.0 with Access 97 as database and while generating reports,it gives error "Runtime Error 20536 Unable to Connect: Incorrect Log On Parameters" .Report version is Crystal Report 7.
Also client has Win XP sp3 OS.
This error was not reproducible at our machines which has the same OS.
Please if anyone could help in this regard ,that will be really great.

Hello Prachi,
Crystal Reports 7 reached End of Life for patch support in August, 2002. CR7 was released in 1998 - long before the XP operating system was released. Back then Crystal Decisions rarely went back and added OS support for the older versions of Crystal Reports. There weren't major changes to Windows until Vista/Win7, so that's probably why it's working on your machine.
The KB article links that don't work can be found with manual searching. You can go to [http://service.sap.com/support|http://service.sap.com/support], click on the Help & Support link, and then click on the SAP xSearch link. Use the "C-number" listed in the document in the Search For field and click on Go. The KBA that corresponds to that particular "C-number" will have that "C-number" in the Keyword section of the article. Other articles may reference that "C-number" so your search may return more than one result. It is unlikely that the document with the links will be updated due to its age.
You can use a utility called Modules to see if you can find any DLL differences between the working and non-working machine. You can download it from SAP at this link: [https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip]. There are instruction in the ZIP archive. Run the utility on the non-working machine and the working machine. Save the two results and then compare them and address any differences.
I'm rusty on database connectivity issues so perhaps Ludek or someone else can throw in some additional suggestions related to OLE DB connectivity.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

Crystal Report XI R2 cause IIS to hang while calling ReportDocument.Close()

Dear Concern,
We are using Visual Studio 2008 (.Net framework 3.5) to develop ERP Web portal for our company. Crystal Report XI R2 has been used here for generating customized report.
I have written a CrystalReport utility to do all type of logon, parameter pass stuffs with the report. The utility itself implements IDisposable and following is my code at the Dispose method:
public override void Dispose()
_crReportDocument.Close();
_crReportDocument.Dispose();
But when my code reaches _crReportDocument.Close() then the IIS/ W3C hangs. I have waited for long time to the process to be finished but it never.
I also tried to move the code from my utility and directly close the report object from caller form but failed.
Can anyone please give me any suggestions regarding this issue? Is there anything wrong with this?
N.B. I have succeeded with Crystal Report X by using the same procedure.
Thank You.

Dear Adam,
Thanks.
The problem resolved after I have installed CR XI R2 Service Pack 4. Crystal Report 2008 of course is a better solution but I have to wait a bit for procurement.
Warm Regards,
Sultan

Crystal Reports with VS2005 - Load Report failed Error....

Post Author: rajeshvijayan
CA Forum: Older Products
Hi,
I am running Crystal Reports viewer on IIS6.0 and windows server 2003, which was installed using the redistributable package that comes along with Visual Studio 2005. We open these reports through a web based application 1 which is run on a different application pool on IIS. We have about 3 to 4 other web applications runing on the same IIS. All the other Web applications are working fine.
This web application 1 has 2 parts - one is the normal data display quiries from the back end SQL server 2005 and the other is the Crystal Reports which also quires data from SQL Server 2005. At times i find that these reports all of them throw an error - Load Report Failed. At the same time the Part 1 of this application does work fine in showing the data that is queried from the database. Moreover at this stage, I dont find any errors in the Event viewer. If i restart this application pool alone, the reports starts working fine again.
I had gone through a few of the news groups and have made all the necessary permission related changes like the TEMP Folder, ASP.NET temporary folder, the folder in which the crystal reports is placed etc but still the same error throws up after some point in time. Wanted to know if there is any special configuration required on the Application pool when it comes to Crystal Reports. We have bout 10 to 15 users using this application for testing and it only throws this error at times and not always.
Looking forward to any kind of solution from your side.
Regards
Rajesh

Yes I too have been fighting this problem. I was using a XML Data file and schema file for my u201Cdatabase templateu201D in the report. I would then run my query using the .NET SQLClient then fill the report with my dataset table using the SetDataSource method from the ReportDocument object.
I tried both embedded and runtime loaded reports all worked fine on my development machine but would NOT work on my production server. I use all the server installs, played with user rights, registering DLLu2019s still nothing. I went as far as creating a winform app to fix the problem. I then had exactly the same problem, I was catching the error and it originated from the viewer control in both winform and webforms.
What finally worked for me was to attach to the database using OLE DB instead of XML/schema (xml/xsd) datasource then pasting my SQL Query into the database connection command this gave me the fields to build the report. I actually used the u201CSet Database Locationu201D Dialog in Crystal Reports so I didnu2019t have to redesign my report. This dialog works very weird but I managed to figure it out. I then used an embedded report and all seem to be well. I think there is a problem with the Crystal Reports .NET Server Install and Merge Modules used with .NET with XML files, but I cannot be sure, all I know is this worked for me.
I am concerned that if my database server is moved or renamed my report might break because the server connection is embedded in the report, but for right now it is working. I thought that was the reason for using the xsd file was to eliminate the dependence on a server connection in the report.
Good luck and I hope this helps you fix your problem too. If it does please let me know I have see so many reports of people asking questions about this problem and it seems like most are left hanging.

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 2008 Trial crashes; crw32.exe error; any fix?

I downloaded the trial for Crystal Reports 2008 and I can open the application fine, but when I go to create a report and click on the u201CCreate New Connectionu201D for the database I get a Just-in-time error for crw32.exe and my application shuts down.
Iu2019ve been trying to look for a resolution in your forums but could not find anything. I check for updates it says there are none; I've uninstalled and reinstalled already didn't fix it; I've download sp1 manually and installed but no luck.
I do have MS SQL Server 2008 installed on my system, could this be causing some problems?
I'm running Windows XP, also have VS .NET 2003 installed, but I'm only wanting to use CR 2008 application.
Similar to this existing problem: An unhandled Win32 exception occurred in crw32.exe 5048. Crystal 2008 Crash
I cannot uninstalled SQL Server 2008 because I need it.

Hi Henry,
Crystal Reports 2008 is not officially tested with SQL Server 2008.
Try with this:
1. Reduce the 'Hardware acceleration' setting in Microsoft Windows.
2. To access the 'Hardware acceleration' setting in Microsoft Windows:
Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Display > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshooting.
There are typically six possible settings for 'Hardware acceleration': from 'None' to 'Full'.
If you are using Dual monitor run the CR application on primary monitor cause Dual monitor is not tested with CR.
If still the issue occurs then manually un-install and reinstall the application.

Shweta

Reinstall of Crystal Reports XI R2 Service Pack 3 Error

I needed to do a reinstall of Crystal Reports XI R2 and I am trying to reinstall the service packs. When I try installing SP2 it is saying it is already detected. When I try to install SP3 it is giving me an error that it canu2019t be installed on top of other business objects XI R2 products. Can someone tell me what is causing this and how I can get around it?

Hi
You have mentioned that "There are others in my company that after they installed SP3 they were able to successfully connect and I am still getting a login fail error."
So would like to know the version and type of database that the Universes are based on.off.
1) Please ensure that you have the exact version and type of the database installed on your machine, that your colleagues are using .
Say for e.g if the Universes are based off Oracle 9 database, then ensure that you have the Oracle client(version 9) installed on your machine.
2)Please make sure that you have been added in the user list in the database.
May be we could come close to narrowing down on the issue by checking these 2 things.

Crystal Report Many to One Query Config error when using DataSet.ReadXML me

When I build a dataset with this method numerous relations are automatically created. I then map these fields onto crystal reports with ADO.net data connection. However when I run the report the following error occurs:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.InternalException: Cannot determine the queries necessary to get data for this report.Details:
This query cannot be performed. The link order requires many to one query configuration, which is not supported. Please rearrange the links.
If I remove the links (relations) i get duplicate data on the report. Is there any way to resolve this or a patch for the error?

Hello, Mervin;
Since you are using ADO.NET dataset, is it possible to get all of the fields you need in one SQL Query outside of Crystal Reports?
If that is possible, you can use that dataset to create an XML or XSD file to use as the structure for your report.
VB
'Using the full path to the .xml file, include the schema
dataSet.WriteXml("C:\temp\test.xml", XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema)
or
dataSet.WriteXmlSchema("c:\temp\testXML.xsd")
Now create a new report with the ADO.NET(XML) connection and point to either the XML or XSD you created. XML is useful because you can view data in the report designer for final formatting of the report.
Now there is only one datasource and no linking is required in Crystal Reports. That should resolve the one to many issue.
Another useful tool is to group on the many and place all the fields normally in the detail section into that group header. Suppress the Detail and Group footer sections. The Group Header will now look like a Detail section and each distinct value will only appear once. You can group on one field or a combination (using a formula field) to get the results you need. Test this to be sure you do not miss anything you want to see.

Crystal Report Using ECC Data has Auth error in Infoview

We've created a Crystal report that successfully accesses ECC data from a function module in our Dev environment when the report is executed from within Crystal Designer. When we try to execute the same report against the same development ECC system from within InfoView we get the following error:
ERROR: The Database Logon Information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect.
The connection information is the same as it is in designer. We are able to successfully run Crystal Reports over BW data within InfoView. Any ideas about what might be wrong?
Doug

Ingo,
The consumers of the report do have ECC access for order and inventory management so licensing should not be an issue.
We were able to resolve the issue. The problem was with our version of SAP GUI on the BO Dev server.
We had to update our u201CServices.dllu201D and our u201CSAPLogonTree.xmlu201D file with an accurate version. Once that was done, the report executed as expected in InfoView using LDAP.
Thanks,
Doug

Crystal Reports 2008, Characteristic-Structure and LiveOffice Error

Hi,
I am trying to integrate a table from a Crystal Report (2008) in a powerpoint document using LiveOffice. The table uses a characteristic structure set up in the Bex Query. I.e. I created a structure for different nodes in a hierarchy to show the result on a row per node.
As soon as I am using groups in the table based on the structure, there's an error upon refresh of the liveoffice object. It says something like "successful (with warning)" and then "Missing parts: GroupNameStruc" (using the geramn version so I have to guess the translation). As a result, the table or liveoffice object now is empty.
When I use a group on a normal Characteristic which is not part of the structure (e.g. I have the year in free characteristics) there is no problem in liveoffice.
I read somewhere, one should use self defined technical names on the structure and it's elements, so I tried that too but with no success.
I don't see any other way than using a structure in the query, because I need to filter the nodes I need based on the underlying hierarchies. Since there's more than one hierarchy involved, I suppose I cannot even use the characteristic outside of a structure and then filter the hierarchies in Crystal...
Crystal Reports 2008: 12.4.0.966
Integration Kit: 12.4.0.966
LiveOffice: 14.0.2.364
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Philippe

Crystal Reports 2010 in IIS 7.5 asking for authentication

Hi,
We're in the process of moving from 2003 IIS 6 Web servers to 2008 R2 with IIS 7.5.
We also have a Windows 2008 server running IIS 7 and everything works fine on this server.
On the new servers when we go to our crystal reports viewer page we get prompted for windows authentication, then if you type in valid credentials or not you get the following error in firefox
XML Parsing Error: no element found

Crystal Reports 2008 FP 3.6 Installation Error

Hello. Not sure if this is the right place in the forum, but could not figure out a better one. Anyway, I am having major issues installing FixPack 3.6 on Crystal Reports 2008 (updated through SP 3). I keep getting error during installation for "Version is Too Low". Then install shuts down.
Any thoughts? I tried re-installing SP 3, and verified my version is correct to match SP3. It is 12.3.0.601.
If it helps, my IT group instructed the FP 3.6 installation order as follows. My prior CR set up was SP2 with FP 2.4.
1. Business Objects XI 3.1 SP3 - Done
2. Crystal Reports SP3 - Done
3. Business Objects Integration Kit SP3 - Done
4. Business Objects XI FP 3.6 - Done
5. Crystal Reports FP 3.6 - Error
6. Business Objects Integration Kit FP 3.6 - Not Done.
Any thoughts or assitance would be greatly appreciated.
