Crystal Reports Service Pack 1 installation

I am trying to install service pack one for crystal reports 2008. It downloads, and starts the install, but says it cannot find crystal_reports.msi, which is not in the dowload folder. I have to cancel, and it backs everything out. How do I get around this?

I first installed SP0, and now SP1 installs correctly

Crystal Report Service Pack Question

Hi,
I have some question regarding Crystal Report Service Pack for different version respectively :-
Crystal Report 9
1. I have SP5 and SP7. Can I just install SP7 without installing SP5 ?
Crystal Report XI R2
1. I have install a distribution of Crystal Report X1 R2 in a non-development server.
Can I install the latest SP6 into that non-development server ? Which SP6 I should install, preferably a link to that SP would be great.
NOTE: I am a VS.NET 2003 and 2005 developer.
Best regards
Joseph

Crystal Report 9
1. I have SP5 and SP7. Can I just install SP7 without installing SP5 ?
- Yes
Crystal Report XI R2
1. I have install a distribution of Crystal Report X1 R2 in a non-development server.
Can I install the latest SP6 into that non-development server ?
- no. From CR XI on, SPs are only meant to be used on development computers. E.g.; a computer that has the CR designer installed. To update your runtime computer, you will have to uninstall the current runtime and install the SP6 runtime:

Crystal Reports Service Pack 2

Do I need to install Crystal Reports Service Pack 1 and all the hotfixes before I install SP2 or is it all inclusive?

Hi,
It is not mandatory to install service pack and hot fixes for SP 2.
If we have the set up with crystal reports XI R2 with SP2 then we can install them directly.
Try to run the set up which we have and check with the version number 11.5.3.417 is with SP1.
Then we can install SP2 directly on SP1.
If we have only crystal reports installed on our machine then we have 11.5.0.883 version.
If we have SP2 installed on our machine then version no is 11.5.8.826.
Thanks,
Naveen.

Crystal Reports Service Pack and Fix Pack documentation

I've been maintaining a wiki that documents fixed issues, specifically targeted at the .NET developer. The link to that wiki:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=163843498
For now, I'll keep maintaining the wiki, but if it is a duplication of effort and not used, I'll take it down.
Ludek

Umm......thanks for the feedback Ludek. You've obviously taken the time to read the documentation.
My question:
Why doesn't the "CR2008 FixPack 2.8 Fixed Issues" document list any issues fixed in FP2.8. The last I heard Jason was asking about this.........
Also where is the documentation for Fix Pack 2.9?
Thanks,
Peter.

Crystal Report for VS 2010 Installation Problems

So I have been trying to get this working for 2 days now without luck. I work for a software development company and we have slowly started to migrate some of our solutions from VS2005 to VS2010. The solution I'm currently working on was originally developed in VS2005. We've migrated it to VS2010 and now want to add a reporting module which needs to make use of Crystal Reports.
I have downloaded CR from the following site: [HERE|http://www.businessobjects.com/jump/xi/crvs2010/us2_default.asp] using the "SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010 - " download link ([http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_13_0.exe]). I have both VS2005, VS2010, Crystal Report 2008 (which has no issues) installed on my machine. In terms of .NET Framework 4 the following shows up on my "Programs"
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Extended
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Multi-Targeting Pack
The machine is a 32bit Windows 7 Professional installation with 2.00GB of RAM. When I run the installer (as administrator) the WinRAR self extractors run as follows:

Crystal Report CRViewer and runtime installation

Post Author: maurizio
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hello everybody,
We use Crystal Report 9 Developer English.
We developed a Visual Basic 6 application under a Windows 2003 server computer using the crviewer object integrated into visual basic code.
We need to install the run time version of the application in Windows NT 4 sp6a computers.
We created an installation kit by the InstallShield of Visual Studio 6.
We can install the kit in the Windows Nt computers, but when we run the application it crashs when we try to produce a report. It looks like the runtime dll of Crystal Report 9 have not been correctly installed by the installation kit or are missing.
What dll we need to install more? How to install them? How to include them into the kit? Do u have a general installer of the runtime dll for Crystal Report 9?
It is possible to install all the Crystal Report 9 dll manually and where to copy ?
Please give us an help because our work it is stopped now since a week. We didnu2019t find any solution.
The best solution for us should be to have a dedicated installation kit for crystal report runtime dll.
Thanks a lot
Maurizio Carnesecchi

FWIW, we use InstallShield12 to build an installer for our app built in C++ and with CR9. That method has worked fairly well. I must admit that I have not tested on NT4 in a long time though and I doubt that anyone from BO will help you since there is no help to be had from MS in this case.

Office 2013 with Service Pack 1 installation error about "search path"

I have an automated installation technique that has worked fine with Office 2010 Pro Plus (32-bit), incorporating the latest Service Pack into the network administrative installation point (under \updates), adding 10 foreign languages to the network administrative
installation point, creating a custom .msp with the OCT (that goes into \updates too), editing the config.xml files, and then running setup.exe from that network administrative installation point. This works on 32-bit Windows XP clients and on 32- and 64-bit
Windows 7 clients.
For Office 2013 Pro Plus, I have built the network administrative installation point exactly the same way (original DVD files + languages + SP1 updates + config.xml updates), but the installation is failing with every type of client, all with
the same error message. The network administrative installation point is readable by the normal installing account, but I even get the same error when I login as me and initiate setup.exe manually, and I have all rights to this point.
Here's the critical point from a log file:
2014/03/11 11:53:49:691::[2372] DistributionPoint parsed. The distribution point is now set to: \\archive.ads.college.edu\archive\KBOXalt\Office2013

I cannot find any references to this exact error anywhere on the Internet. Can anyone tell me what this means, and how I fix it?

As automated, the utility that runs setup.exe maps a drive letter to
\\archive.ads.college.edu\archive\KBOXalt using a kboxmap AD account, which has read access to the whole \KBOXalt tree. I used that same kboxmap AD account manually to simulate what the utility does, and hit the same problem. But here's what's
odd: right next to that
\\archive.ads.college.edu\archive\KBOXalt\Office2013 directory is an
\\archive.ads.college.edu\archive\KBOXalt\Office2010 directory, both created the same way, and the Office 2010 installation has always worked perfectly using the kboxmap AD account. I don't understand why Office 2013 is only working for an account with
read/write access, where Office 2010 worked fine for an account with only read access. Especially when the Office 2013 resource kit documentation clearly states that the account running the installation should only have read access, nothing more. (All this
KBOX stuff comes from the fact that our deployment environment is a Dell KACE KBOX 1000. However, that plays no part in the problem: ignoring the KBOX 1000, I can manually recreate the problem every time.)

Crystal Reports Server 2008 Trial Installation Problem

I recently downloaded the trial version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 and ran into a problem with the installation key code sent to me. During the install, I enter the keycode and the install application says it is invalid. I'm attempting to install the Linux version on Red Hat Enterprise 5.2. I know that this is technically not a supported version of Linux but I would not expect that cause a problem with the key code.
Does anyone have any ideas on what is happening?
Thanks...

Hi Jeff,
I would suggest you to install Crystal reports on supported platform only.
To narrow down the issue you can try to install on other machine with supported environment so that it would be clear that the issue is with Keycode or not.

Weblogic 6.1 Service Pack 3 installation

I am upgrading weblogic 6.1 service pack 2 to service pack 3. Everything goes fine, except that after the installation the weblogic server says the license is expired. If i uninstall the service pack 3 it works fine. Since i have inherited this application, I am not sure where the license file is. I found a weblogiclicense.xml file in the web-inf directory. Can i use this somehow. Any help would be greately appreciated.
thanks,
-faisal

Try saving the license.bea file somewhere, install the SP, see if a different
license.bea is there and replace as necessary.
Why stop at SP3? Why not go up to SP5?

Windows XP Service Pack 3 Installation Failure on new Mac Pro

I'm unable to install service pack 3 on the windows xp installation I have on my Mac. The error dialog says "additional 4 megabytes of storage required". The error is erroneous - there's 80 GB free on the windows C: partition where it is attempting to use during the installation process.
Google searches reveal that boot camp version 2.1 is required to install sp 3. I've already installed the boot camp drivers from my new machines OS X install disk (which was quite new at version 10.6.4). Presumably these boot camp drivers are version 3.1 or 3.2.
After the SP3 install failed, I tried downloading and install 2.1 (hoping to install SP3 then progress through the series back up to 3.2). The 2.1 boot camp installer does nothing when run. Perhaps it's logging some info somewhere but I don't know where in windows to find it.
Boot camp 3.2 requires 3.1 as a pre-req. Boot camp 3.1 says the installation of 3.0 is required as a prerequisite. I can't find a copy of 3.0 out there on Apple's site.
I know XP is old but I don't dare run it without SP3 as there are at least dozens of security fixes in that patch if not hundreds.
Google searches also turned up that there is a fabled registry fix that will get rid of the "4 megabytes required" error but I wasn't able to find the specifics of that registry fix anywhere.
Any suggestions out there ?

Trouble with SP3 are numerous, though not 100%, sometimes it just wipes out an entire drive.
On Mac Pro, you have to remove all the other drives before starting the install.
Rather than XP, there is Windows 7 which has more and better security.
Ignore Boot Camp 2.0, the "or later" should be in there and of course Macs come with 3.0.x anyway.
You can't install any drivers that affect Windows until after Windows is up and running.

Crystal XI Service Pack - Install Recomendation

We are upgrading from Crystal 10 to Crystal XI (Release 1). Do we need to install all four service packs, or can we just install SP4?

Here's a link that lists the crystal version number with the associated service pack.
http://blog.crystalreportsbook.com/2008/04
I beleive the original version is the same as Release 1.
I use SP4 for release 1 on Crystal version 11.0.0.895 and it cleared up several problems.

Windows XP Service Pack 2 Installer

So I have a relatively simple application. I it just reads and writes CAN data using a Vector CANcase USB CAN device, and these drivers. I developed the source in LabVIEW 2012 SP1 in Windows 7 x64. I built the EXE and it works fine, I then made an installer. Under the Additional Installers I only included the NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 2012 SP1 f9. I unchecked all the components under it because I knew I didn't need them.
I tested the installer on my XP SP3 machine and it worked great. Then another user wanted the software and had XP SP2. I tried the installer and it said it requires XP Service Pack 3 or newer. So I opened the project I used to make the installer, and under the "System Requirements" it already had the oldest option selected which was Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later.
My solution is to update the PC and it is in the process of doing that right now. So for me this is fixed, but is this an issue? And anyone else that sees this issue you aren't crazy.
Unofficial Forum Rules and Guidelines - Hooovahh - LabVIEW Overlord
If 10 out of 10 experts in any field say something is bad, you should probably take their opinion seriously.

Yes, I've had the same problem. I believe it had something to do with .NET (on which some NI components rely?) only being supported by XP SP3.
If you read here - it mentions that the latest service pack may be required for some operating systems.
The one thing that is weird is that the 2012 LV Runtime apparently supports all service packs of XP but the 2013 Runtime only supports SP3. Actually, looking at the download page for the 2012 SP1 F9 runtime it says it only supports XP SP3 so during one of the updates they must have changed the minimum requirement.
Maybe you could try installing an older version of the LV2012 runtime which works with SP2?
