Crystal reports version 12 vs version 11

my company purchased crystal reports version 11 and got version 12 in error of course version 12 is an upgraded version so it was a keeper-----our hosting payroll site only works with version 11 and they said it would not be a problem if we created reports in version 12 that they could still provide data through our ODBC connection
all our reports were created in version 12 and successfully produce data--but suddenly 1 report does not work and of course they now say that they can only run the report if it is built in version 11--
so the it would not be a problem now is, i feel they changed something on their side that is causing this particular report not to read, a tek issue...but they say by grace of ... was the way the report ever worked, but than why do all other reports still work now???
is there any way to use our version 12 key product to get a downgraded version 11 to create this report?
or open the report using version 12 and export it as a version 11?
or if i recreate the report would the glitch on their side go away?

Crystal 2008 (version 12) reports can be opened in Crystal XI (version 11) and saved there. If you don't have access to a copy of Crystal XI, could you possibly see whether the payroll company can downgrade it for you?

Crystal Reports for Eclipse Version 2 - XML, XSD Report. Need hep !!!

Dear all,
I'm using Crystal Reports for Eclipse Version 2
I have looked for "Programmatically Create Reports off of XML or Web Services Data Sources", then i found some ways to do this.
But all the time, we have to use both XSD and XML files for Report Data Sources.
My question is:
1. Can we just add XSD file to report to define or update the report data definition only (no report data) ?
2. Can we just add XML file to report to update report data only (do not change report definition) ?
Anyone who have solved it, please give me an example.
Thanks in advanced.

Crystal Reports 2008 Trial Version Runtime Error

Hello
Yesterday I've downloaded Crystal Reports 2008 (Trial Version). The installation was successful. I've got no error.
Anyway, I'm unable to start Crystal Reports. I get the following error:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime LIbrary
Runtime Error!
Program: ...ects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32x86\crw32.exe
Abnormal Program Termination
I've already tried all "solutions" mentioned in Re: Crystal Reports 2008 trial version ERROR (DEP, HW acceleration, etc.) but without success (I'm running Windows XP with SP2). I've also updated Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 resp. 2008 redistributables...
Can someone help me?
Thank you!

Hi Patrick,
Nothing Strange about it. You need local Admin rights to access registry and other parts and CR needs the same.
Check anti-virus or possibly firewall settings. When you installed did the installer ask you to allow All users to run CR?
You may want to check with your IT guys, they may have modified your local user group to not allow some rights.
Bottom kine is your PC security is blocking access that CR needs under your local user account.
When you do try to run it does UAC pop up a message to allow you to run CR Designer? If not then it may be you have customer settings for that also.
Search Microsofts site on more info on user rights.
Thanks

How to read Crystal Report file Design version programmatically

Hi,
I am working on a project where I need the read Crystal file header and extract information that which designer was used to create the (Crystal) report. This will help me do some specific task if the version of the crystal used is very old (say older than 7.0), relatively new (say between 7.0 and 11.0) and the latest (11.0 or later).
I have downloaded the SDK and all the dlls, but I just couldn't find any API or function using which I can get this info.
Could you please let me know if there is any way to read this information programmatically from a crystal file?
(I know this info can be seen in Crystal designer, but I need to do it at runtime).
Thanks.

Error in Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime Version = 12.2.3.467

Dear Support Team
 
 
I am making the setup for our application using InstallShield 2010.
 
 
I recently updated the crystal reports 2008 runtime to version = 12.2.3.467.
 
 
Based on this article
 
 
 
 
Topic of the week (October 15, 2009)
 
Date time field is blank when using ADO .NET dataset and Crystal Reports 2008, Service Pack 2.0
 
This is a new issue, very specific to CR 2008 and SP 2. Date time fields are stripped out of a report (or not
 
visible), if a report is consuming a .NET dataset which contains a date time field. A technical escalation has been
 
submitted and a work-around is detailed in note number 1392258
 
 
 
Since DateTime Column was not getting displayed in the deployment machine when running the report.
 
 
So I downloaded the Crystal Report 2008 FP2.3 and merge module for the same and installed on my development machine
 
 
where I am making the Setup.
 
 
I am able to make the setup successfully without errors, but when I try to install the setup on the deployment machine I am getting
 
the errors as
 
 
Error 1904.Module C:\Program Files\BusinessObjects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\CEReportSource.dll
 
failed to register
 
Same message pops up for N number of Crystal Dlls with message failed to register.
 
Even though as per article in your forums I am doing everything right.
 
I have correct Dll for VC++ 2005
 u2022
 
Microsoft_VC80_ATL_x86.msm; version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
u2022 Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
u2022 Microsoft_VC80_MFCLOC_x86.msm; version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
u2022 Microsoft_VC80_MFC_x86.msm; version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
u2022 Microsoft_VC80_OpenMP_x86.msm; version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
With exactly same versions as mentioned in the article.
 
 
I followed the article in your forum
 
Building a deployment project with Crystal Reports 2008 (12.1.0.892) SP1
 
Posted on Mar. 09, 2009 08:22 AM in Business Objects
 
The same sort of errors is coming but I am doing everything right as per that article.
 
 
To Inform you further before updating crystal reports 2008 runtime to version = 12.2.3.467.
 
 
Everything was working fine, only problem was that Date Time column was not displaying at runtime on the deployment
 
 
machine.
 
 
With Regards

Dear Mr. Williams
I dont think this is the issue related to MS Installer. Still based on your suggestion I downloaded the latest MS Installer from Microsoft Website and Installed on my setup machine and made the new setup with zero errors and warning.
The deployment machine is having full rights and so there is no security issues related to installation even though to clear the confusion I installed the setup on three other xp machines the result was same even after installing the latest MS installer on those machines as well.
I wanrt to remind it again since I was facing the DATE TIME column Issue problem in reports on deployment machines so I updated the Crystal Reports TO CRFP 2.3 EXE AND MSM as mentioned in your forums regarding this known bug that if datetime column is getting from dataset then that column was not getting displayed.
From that time onwards I am unable to install the setup on the deployment machines and I am getting errors unable to register errors crystal reports dlls.
Apart from that I downloaded Crystal Reports 2008 Fix Pack 2.3 - Redist Install (cr2008_fp23_redist.zip) from the download page but i can't open it I am gettinig the error message doesnt appear to be a valid archive.
Please help me and provide me some solution regardeing the issue I am stuck with.
With Regards

Problem with keydecoder.dll in Crystal Reports 2008 Trial Version

Hello,
My company is interested in purchasing Crystal Reports 2008 and has asked me to download and try the trial version. However, I have been running into a keydecoder.dll problem. Setup was smooth and here are the details:
Problem message:
"Crystal Reports: Application Error Couldn't load keydecoder.dll"
I have Windows Vista and I have already configured all permissions and administrative rights to the problem to full control. I have also attempted to drag the keydecoder.dll application extension out of win32_x86 to the file folder crystal reports 2008. I have also already attempted to reinstall and making a new program file location named 'Crystal Reports 2008'.
I'm running out of ideas and would appreciate some help. Thank you

Symptom
When attempting to start Crystal Reports XI, the following error message appears:
"Crystal Reports: Application Error - Couldn't load the keydecoder.dll".
Cause :
The error message occurs because the CommonFiles entry has the wrong path in the registry.
Resolution :
CAUTION The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk. It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files before you edit the registry. For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys And Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
To resolve the error message
Click Start > Run. The Run dialog box appears.
Type "regedit" in the Open: text field. Click OK. The Registry Editor appears.
Navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCLAL_MACHINESOFTWAREBusiness ObjectsSuite 11.5Crystal Reports.
Double-click the CommonFiles string. The Edit String dialog box appears.
Ensure that the path points to the location of <installation directory>Common3.5 in.
For example, the default location is the following: C:Program FilesBusiness ObjectsCommon3.5 in.
Edit the path as necessary.
Click OK. Close the Registry Editor.
Crystal Reports starts successfully.
Hope that helps!!

Crystal Report XI R2 version 11.5 not run on Windows Vista 64 bit OS

We have created the Windows Vista 64 bit Development Environment with u201CCrystal Report XI R2u201D version 11.5 . When we try to run report it gives following error
"An error has ocured while attempting to load Crystal Reports runtime.
Either the Crystal Report Registery key permissions are insufficient or the Crystal Reports runtime 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.bisinessobjects.com/support for more information"
Then we Installed Crystal Reports redistributable from u201CC:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Crystal Reports\CRRedist\X64\CRRedist2005_X64.msiu201D
and run the report we got same error.
Its working properly on Windows XP 32 bit Development Environment.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance

Couple of things to consider;
1) CR XI r2 is not 64 bit
2) The MSI you installed is for CR 10.2 which ships with .NET 2005, not CR XI r2.
3) To use CR XI r2 on Vista, you must have applied at least SP 4

Visual Studio 2005/2008 and Crystal Reports versions/upgrade questions.

I've tried posting this question on the MSDN forums and gotten no response.
I've downloaded and installed VS 2008 Beta 2.   The versions on the Crystal Reports files included are 10.5.0.1806
I'm currently using VS 2005, with the included Crystal Reports. The versions on those files are 10.2.0.xxxx. I've created an desktop app (in VB) which stores it's data in a database and uses the CR 10 runtime merge modules to generate a report.
I was considering upgrading the Crystal Reports version to XI. I would like to allow customers to modify my delivered report with their own licensed copy of CR XI. I am not providing any functionality within my app to create or modify the delivered .rpt or use it outside my application.
Questions:
Do I need to update the runtime files to CR XI to support rpt files modified with CR XI? Current runtime files are being delivered with the CR 10 merge module.
I see a Crystal Reports for Visual Studio upgrade to CR XI.
Can I update the merge modules to CR XI and still use the CR for VS2005 for development?
Does it make any sense to update CR for VS 2005? Or to get the full CR XI Developer edition? My usage of CR functionality is very limited.
Would there be any benefit to waiting for the release of VS 2008?   How does that change the scenario?
How does Crystal Reports for Visual Studio fit in with the Crystal Reports Lifecycle? It's not mentioned on Business Objects End of Life Dates page . Crystal 10 has a Patch EOL of 31-Dec-07.   Does this apply to CR for VS 2005? Where does 10.5 fit in?
My main concern is allowing customers with CR XI to change the format of my delivered .rpt to run with my app. Adding their company name, logo, etc.   My testing show a CR XI report still works with my current app. But, going forward, what should I deliver and what do I need to use to continue development?

To use Reports designed in XI, you need to use XI or higher runtime, running them in older versions may work, but you may encounter unforeseen issues doing so.
If you are to use VS2005 for development you need to use XI Release 2 (11.5) runtime.
If you are going to use VS2008 for development you need to use Crystal Reports 2008 with Service Pack 0.
The support end of life for versions of Crystal Reports bundled with Visual Studio are linked to what Microsoft's lifecycle for the product is. Generally if there is a workaround for the issue that is simple enough, there will not be a patch created.
The changes you are expecting the customer to do can be accomplished with our RAS SDK which is available without using enterprise starting with Crystal Reports XIR2 SP2.
