Crystal reports no longer working in VS Studio 2005

I'm using VS Studio 2005 SP1. I can no longer create a new Windows Form solution using the Windows crystal reports application template.
The following message is displayed.
A 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 CR redistributable....
This is occurring on the PC I use for development. In the past I've been able to create these apps with no problems
ALso, I have an existing program that has CR reports. That app is no longer compiling.
Furthermore, the CR runtime is no longer available in the publish/prerequisites list in the existing application.
I've reinstalled VS. What should I do to have access to CR again?
I want to use the CR basic that is part of VS. I don't want to use a version of CR that is purchased and installed separately from VS. I cannot find on the pc CRRedist2005_x86.msi. Shouldn't I have that file on my since it is part of VS?
Where can I find that file? Also, is this the file that is used on the client machines. Some of the searches I've done imply this file should be installed on the development machine.

See if rather than doing repair or reinstall, you can do a custom install of CR only.
The CRRedist2005_x86.msi should be in c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\sdk\v2.0\bootstrapper\packages\crystal reports\
You do not install this msi on the dev box. It is for runtime distribution - mostly for web apps, but can be used for win apps too.
Check to see if the CR assemblies exist inthe GAC. These should have a version of 10.2.3600.0.
Check to see if this directory structure exists:
c:\Program Files\Business Objects\2.7\Bin and is there are dlls in that directory.
Check to see if this registry exists:
HKLM\software\crystal decisions\10.2\crystal reports\keycodes\cr ent
The above registry folder should have your keycode in it.
If all of the above checks out, the install is good and you are down to permissions. Use Process Monitor to find out that's up there. Process Monitor can be downloaded from here:

Crystal Reports XI stopped working error message on a Windows Server 2008

Hi, did you get this working? I'm really struggling to get up and running on 2008 R2, the CMS service just refuses to connect to the database. It also looks like the database wasn't created properly during the install. I set it up on an MSDE database, and when I look at it with sql management studio the database is there but there aren't any tables or anything else
Can anyone either confirm or deny that its possible to run Crystal XI on 2008 R2?
The error I'm getting when trying to start the service is:
The root server reported an error Initialization Failure. (Reason: Unable to connect to the database using the provided connection string. Reason: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified).
I've confirmed that the ODBC connections work (both 32 bit and 64 bit) via the built in test, but Crystal for some reason isn't happy

Total No of pages different in report printed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8)

Currently in our application, we are using Crystal Report XI R2 for generating the reports. We are in the process of upgrading the Crystal Report to SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). I updated that on my machine and all the reports work fine. I didn't have to modify any of the reports.
However when comparing the reports, we found that there are few reports on which the total no. of pages differ from the report displayed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). Comparing the reports, it looks all the data that were fit on one page earlier with version XI R2 doesn't fit on the same page with version 13.8, thereby increasing the page counts.
The fonts, page margins everything set on report itself. Nothing being set in the code.
Both the application is using the same report that is pulling the data from the same database. Our application is a web application.
Any suggestion, why this is happening.
Thanks.
Sanjay

I am not sure what is being compared here?
CRXI R2 designer to CRVS?
CR XI R2 in some version of .NET to CRVS?
CR XI R2 using RDC SDK to CRVS?
Also, is this happening on your development computer or after you deploy?
If you compare the the "Page setup" options dialog between reports that work and those that do not work, do you see any difference?
Is this a web or a win app?
Are you seeing the same issue when viewing and exporting - say export to PDF?
What is the printer driver used and it's version?

APPCRASH - "Crystal Reports has stopped working"- windows message

Hi,
I had installed Crystal reports 2008 using valid license keycode on Windows Server 2008 machine ( crystal software not registered it in Sap portal for additional support) This was used for crystal reports development in .Net for few days, After 1 month or little more , the crystal reports stopped working and when launched from Start -> Programs -> Crystal Reports 2008 displayed a windows error message " Crystal Reports has stopped working ".
Following is the details about Problem from windows message
Problem Event name: APPCRASH
Application name: crw32.exe
Application version : 12.0.0.683
Fault Module Name: x2rpclB5.dll
Exception Code : c0000005
OS Version : 6.0.6001.2.1.0.274.10
I Uninstalled and reinstalled the application with valid license keycode and registered as well, but still the error remains same when the application is started.
Kindly suggest on how to resolve this issue.

Please note that this forum is dedicated to topics related to custom application development or deployment with Crystal Reports in .Net. This includes full versions of Crystal Reports as well as those versions of Crystal Reports bundled with Microsoft Visual Studio .Net.
Reports design, Crystal Reports (exe) installation and other issues should be posted to the [Report Design forum|SAP Crystal Reports;
Now, looking up the DLL,(x2rpclB5.dll) it appears to be a Xerox printer driver(?). You mention that this started to happen recently, so the question would be; was a Xerox printer driver installed? Also, see if either uninstalling the printer driver or installing any available updates fomr Xerox will resolve the issue.

Crystal Reports XI crashes says "Crystal Reports has stopped working"

I'm on Crystal Reports Xi release 2 sp2, with windows 7, I also have visual studio 2008 installed.
When I try to add any fields or objects to a report in crystal reports it crashes and throws up a windows generic error message that says "Crystal Reports has stopped working" There is no additional error information besides that... I've tried a number of fixes, too many to list here, but no go, and apparently calling for tech support requires me to pay more money! ack. We've already paid for the product, I just want to use it..
Does this version of crystal reports even work on windows 7? if I could get a straight answer on that it would be a start anyway...
Sorry to be snippy, I'm just frustrated!!!

Upgrading to SP6 solved the issue. I originally thought sp4 was the newest because of this page: http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crystal_reports_en.asp
which is out of date...
Thanks for the quick fix.

Reports no longer work after upgrading to SCCM 2012 R2

I upgraded my SCCM 2012 SP1 environment to R2 and reports no longer work. I've removed the site role, waited a day, and added it. I've also verified the account (used by the reporting site role) has access to the DB and can logon locally. The
problem still persists. Here's a copy/paste of the error:

Any other thoughts on this?

So to be clear you have Done both the Mofcomp and Added the correct account to the Windows Authorization Access Group?
What is version of SQL are you using?
Is SSRS remote or local to CM12?
What service account are you using for SSRS?
Bases on the error message you are getting this within the console, Does the native SSRS report work? BTW I never recommend accessing the report via the console.

Crystal Reports 8 stopps working when printing

I recently upgraded to CR 8 along with several other co-workers. I am able to launch the app and create reports just fine, but when I attempt to go to anything that has to do with printers, the app errors out.
When I attempt to print directly from the app, I get a message saying that Crystal Reports has stopped working and it asks if I want to close or debug.
When I attempt to go to the Page Setup, I get an error message saying "Out of Memory"
Other team members do not have these issues.
I have tried re-installing the app, but am still getting the same problems.
I am able to export the report and print from there, but not directly from CR 8.
I attempted to instal Service Pack 3 and got an error message saying that I did not have a recent enough version of the app.

Hi Dave,
First off, please minimize any version confusion. You keep referring to Crystal 8 which is over 10 years old but you told Don you are using Crystal 2008. That would definintely cause problems.
If you are upgrading from XI r2 and you are getting that upgrade message, that leads me to believe Crystal XI wasn't properly upgraded on your machine. I think the 2008 sp3 upgrade is still seeing XI r2. This may also be the reason 2008 is crashing when you try printing.
When you open Crystal 2008, go to Help | About Crystal Reports. I'm interested in knowing the version number.
When you uninstalled Crystal, what version is listed in the Add/Remove Software? What version did you uninstall?
Did you get any error messages when you uninstalled?
Thanks,
Brian

Crystal Reports has stopped working

I just installed Crystal Reports 2013. I am using Windows 7. The program opens up and everything looks normal but when I open a blank report and try to create a new connection, it immediately gives me the error "Crystal Reports has stopped working" and closes me out of the program. I talked to support and they told me to uninstall and reinstall the program. I tried that but still get the same exact error. Another support rep sent me an update to try. I tried that with the same results. Can someone please help me with this?

Hi Try setting the DEP.
1) Click Start > Run, > type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
2) On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.
3) On the Data Execution Prevention tab, click Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select > then click Add to add the CRW32.exe (You need to browse to the executable file)

Error - Crystal Reports has stopped working

I have downloaded the CR 2011 trial, and I am trying to open a Crystal 7 report. The strange thing is that it was opening OK before, but has now stopped opening. Some of the Crystal 7 reports I have are able to be opened, and others are not.
The error is not helpful - Crystal Reports has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the CR 2011 trial, but this has not helped.
Has anyone had a similar problem?

Thomas,
Can you create a brand new reports against those Stored Procedures?
Are the .rpt files from CR 7 still have the old "last modified" date?
What if you try a middle CR version, like install temporary CR XIR2, open and save the reports and then try to open in the latest version?
Do you know if failing reports have any external links like Linked pictures, OLE objects, etc.?
Have you ever used Process Monitor utility? It may be helpful to identify what CR is trying to do.
Vitaly.

Which is the lowest version of Crystal reports that shall work on BW 7.3?

Hi,
Can you tell me which is the lowest version of crystal reports that will work with BW 7.3?
If given any reference document also it will be useful.
Regards,
Vignesh

Just adding to Vitaly's point that when you load CR 2008 Sp4, you also need to upgrade SAP IK to the same patch level i.e. SP4
You also have to load the respective transports for the service pack that you are loading.

Upgraded reports with left join no longer working in Visual Studio 2008

I've upgraded an ASP.NET project, which has lots of reports, from Visual Studio 2003 to Visual Studio 2008. Any reports that contain a left outer join relationship no longer work and it's driving me mad as I've spent hours on this now. Basically, the join fails because there's no rows on the right side of the relationship. I'm checking for nulls in the formula's and there's no record selection criteria. The report is pulling data from 2 stored procedures and a couple of tables. Any ideas?

Hi Ludek,
Thanks for your reply. I've already applied SP1 and I assumed it worked, but looking at it in depth I'm not so sure. The installer runs and says its configuring windows etc and it l looks like it finishes, but it doesn't display a message to say installation was successful. When I look in the event log there are warnings during the install, I don't know if I should be worried about them. They are as follows:
Error in Template (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\Web\VisualBasic\1033\AdoNetEntityDataModelVB_ASPNET.zip), file (ModelObjectItemVB_ASPNET.vstemplate). Invalid template element (TemplateID) value (Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.VSTemplate.ModelObjectItemVB_ASPNET)
Error in Template (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\Web\VisualBasic\1033\AdoNetDataServiceVBWebsite.zip), file (WebDataService.vstemplate). Unknown attribute (_locID).
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
As for the report itself, Its connecting to SQL Server and getting the data from 2 stored procedures and a few tables. There are no errors reported in the report, the only warning we have is when you close the database expert it says:
"More than one datasource or a stored procedure has has been used in this report. Please make sure that no SQL expression is added and no server-side group-by is performed." We've always had that message and it's never caused any problems before.

Crystal Reports 2011 not working in windows 2008 server CITRIX

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).

Crystal reports 2008 not working on 64 bit OS

Hello Everybody,
I have developed crystal reports in CR2008. My development environment is 32 bit OS with visual studio 2005 and it is working fine. When I deployed this applciation into 64 bit OS,application is working fine,but reports are not working/displaying.
Thanks
Ram

I moved your post to the .NET - SAP Crystal Reports forum. You'd never have gotten an answer on the CR Design forum
More info needed:
Exact version of CR (Help | About)?
Web or win app?
More details on:
reports are not working/displaying
Errors? Do you get the viewer? Or just an empty form?

Crystal Report taking long time to load for a particular prompt

Hi Abhilash Kumar,
Really need your help with one issue that we are facing with Crystal Report.
We have a particular Crystal Report that has a main report and three sub-reports.
The scenario is such that the main report and two sub-reports are based out from a universe.
The third sub-report on the other hand, is a combination of a sql query and a database.
The problem that we are facing is with a particular prompt that is taking a huge amount of time to load.
When we check the same query on the database, the results are being displayed. Also, once the report is run, Crystal report shows at the bottom of the page that the records are being read, but it taking time to display the results in the report structure in Crystal Reports.
Again, we have checked for a lot of prompts and everything works and loads data within seconds. It is with this particular prompt.
Could you please help us or guide us in this regard.
Thanks,
Jasmine.

Hello Jasmine,
Query executing at Database level generally gives the output promptly.
Below are the points which come into account in crystal report execution:-
1. The output in the crystal report comes after processing the all formulas used in report along with the complex structure.
2. The network issue also come into play in fetching the data from source(Database) to the report.
3. Adding the sub-report makes the report slower. If it is necessary to use, then use it with option "On-Demand".
At last "Crystal report shows at the bottom of the page that the records are being read, but it taking time to display the results in the report structure in Crystal Reports."
It means that the Data is already retrieved but report is taking time for processing then only report will be displayed.
Regards,
Raghwendra
