Deploying Crystal Reports runtime using merge module failed

Hi,
I am having a problem when deploying Crystal Reports using merge module runtime, included into MS Visual Studio web setup project, when installing my *.msi with CR runtime on a completely clean PC (with only MS Windows installed). Error: Failed to register one of the Crystal Reportsu2019 *.dll because it could not find Microsoft visual C++ runtime (msvcr71.dll was not in Windows\System32 folder)
I am using Crystal Reports runtime merge modules, which I downloaded from here: https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm
I tried both cr120_mm.zip (Crystal Reports 2008) and cr121_mm.zip (Crystal Reports 2008 SP1)
cr120 could not find msvcr71.dll, cr121 could not find msvcp80.dll.
Steps to reproduce:
-          In MS Visual Studio 2008 create a new empty Web Setup Project.
-          Add Crystal Reports merge module CRRuntime_12_0.msm or CRRuntime_12_1.msm
-          Build *.msi
-          Try to install this *.msi on a completely clean PC. I tried it on Windows Server 2003 R2 SP3, which did not have msvcr71.dll or msvcp80.dll files in C:\Windows\System32 or in any other PATH folders.
-          During installation there is an error u2013 failed to register one of the Crystal Reportsu2019 *.dll
I am looking forward to hear from you.
Thank you.

Error deploying Crystal Report XI R2 to Enterprise - Failed to read paramet

Error deploying Crystal Report XI R2 to Enterprise - Failed to read parameter object.
I know this issue has been addressed several times and the solution recommended was to install Service Pack 2. I have done that. It started working for me too; however recently I got some error saying some UDF***.DLL is missing. I re-installed Crystal Reports XI R2 and Service Pack 2. Unfortunately though, this error is back. I have restarted the machine n number of times but keep on getting this error.
My report file has dynamic parameters defined through command object (SQL Query). My understanding is that once I publish the report to BoE Enterprise, BO will create LOVs and BV's in the repository. Now that is not happening.
has any one else had this issue before and resolved it?
Thanks

Hi,
do you export your CR report in your BOBJ repository using an account with administrator rights?

Crystal Report XI R2 merge modules install Enterprise components... Why?

I am in charge of creating the runtime component insallation (we are using the RDC) and have used the merge modules for Crystal Reports XI R2 to create a msi package for installation. I used the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer for the creation of the msi. The installer seems to be adding some Business Objects Enterprise 11.5 components which is causing some of our users Enterprise 10 to stop working... It also seems that if they unregister the EnterpriseFramework.dll and register the same file associated with Enterprise 10, they are able to run with some minor issues (like colors not there, etc.).
The question I have; Is there a particular reason these Business Objects Enterprise 11.5 components NEED to be installed? If not, is there a way to keep them from being included in my installation package?
Any help is appreciated, I have been searching for similar issues on this for a couple days now and have found absolutely nothing of any help.

Maybe we need to back up a little bit. When you say:
Enterprise 10 to stop working...
What does that mean? What actually happens? Errors, behavior, etc?
Next:
At this point what would my options be for this issue (remove files from merge module)?
- I am not sure that removing the EnterpriseFramework.dll would be the way to go. Presumably the dll is htere because it is needed by the RDC(?). BTW., this is the only DLL with Enterprise in it that I see in the msm files.
Would this be a bug related to the merge modules, or are these files supposed to be included?
- Not sure, but the dll is installed into this directory: c:\program files\business objects\businessobjects enterprise 11.5\win32_x86. And it is a COM dll, so CE 10 should not even know that this dll is there. One good way to check is to use regsvr32 /u and unregister the EnterpriseFramework.dll. See if the CE 10 install starts to work now. You may want to re-register the EnterpriseFramework.dll of version 10.

Visual Studio 2008 Crystal Report 10.5 merge modules download

Hi All,
I'm struggling with this problem about 2 weeks and still cannot find the resolution.
I was developed a .Net application with visual studio 2008 and using crystal report to generate report.
It is working fine in my local machine. However, after I deployed the application to web server with microsoft server 2003 64bits server. The report cannot open and I get this error The type initialize for 'crystaldecisions.crystalreports.engine.reportdocument' threw an exception.
I try to install the redistribution package from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\CrystalReports10_5 but it doesn't work.
Please kindly to help me thank you very much

Deploying Crystal Report 11.5 without using .msm or .msi

Post Author: kquach
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi,
I am trying to deploy the Crystal 11.5 runtimes .dlls for my project. I want to deploy the assemblies without using the merge modules or running the .msi project (the .msi and .msm files contains a lot of assemblies that my project does not require). However, when I try to install only the .dlls that my project references, I get the following in my project when loading a report:
An 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.
If someone knows how to deploy the Crystal Reports assemblies with using the merge modules or .msi, please let me know.
Thanks,

Morning Keit,
I have deployed an application about 2mins ago and I had the same problem before I added the merge files. I have found an article [http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3129696&SiteID=1&mode=1] in a thread here. This link shows how to install the Runtime CR2008 on client machine to make things work.
I personaly thinks deploying applications using not only CR but other products as well is a nightmare, myself I prefer using web based applications as they do not need much requirements on client pc (that is if everything is pushed from the server).
The way I deployed my application is getting the appropriate dll files and added them into the application setup and also added a prerequiste of CR 2008 with Data access components 2008 (you can find this when you right click on the application setup --->properties -
>prerequsite button.
Once I clicked CR2008 pre, it added a Runtime file into my application setup folder, I ran the application at client pcs and it is working fine.

An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime in deployed applications

My reports use to work but now i'm getting the following error on all reports in all the applications on my server
An 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 Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi) containing the correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64, or Itanium) required. Please go to http://www.businessobjects.com/support for more information.

Difference between Crystal Reports Runtime Packages

Post Author: blueyoj
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi,
We develop an application using Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 and we need to deploy Crystal Report viewer as a part of our setup package. Under Runtime Packages page, I see the following merge modules and MSI.
Crystal Reports 2008 Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Crystal Reports XI Crystal Reports 10 Crystal Reports 9 Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2005 Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2003 Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2002
What is the difference between Crystal Report xx (version) and Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 200x?
If our application should support both 32-bit and 64-bit, does it mean that we need to create two separate setup packages and include proper Crystal Report? I can't find any merge module that supports both.

Babita,
request you to post the same in the BO forums for more relevant answers...

Deploying crystal reports 8.5 - error in exporting to RTF & PDF

Hi guys. I'm at my wits end, trying to get a valid build of a legacy app running reports under Crystal 8.5 going.
I've scoured google for days, and I've tried almost everything people have suggested. At the moment I've got the installer working, it installs and registers all the crystal dll's that everyone says are needed. However, when I try and and export a report to RTF or PDF (other options like excel work fine), it simply dies, doing basically nothing. The save to disk dialog just closes and nothing happens. If I rename or delete crxf_rtf.dll, the program will crash or hang, indicating that this is the file responsible for exporting to rtf.
However, the only machine in our office that this will work on is one with a C:\Program Files\Seagate Software\crtslv.dll file.. Same kind of test indicates that on this machine, the above file is being used for exporting. So, where am I going wrong? It seems ludicrously difficult to find a straight, no-nonsense guide on how to deploy crystal reports 8.5; the official documentation doesn't even mention it! What is the easiest way to do this?
I have tried several third-party options ( http://www.fryan0911.com/2008/09/crystal-report-85-runtime-files.html ) like these..
Any ideas?
Ok so here's a further breakdown with some more information; hoping it might help someone to come up with an answer...
If I install a crystal "distributable", like the one linked above, and then install my project (with all crystal stuff turned off in the installer), everything works perfectly apart from exporting reports to rtf.
If I make my own installer, following the Runtime.hlp and the crpe32.dep, and put all dll's in the windows/system32 folder (apart from two, can't remember their names), I get two different errors, depending on the version of crpe32.dll I use.
One gives me "Error 20599: Cannot connect to SQL Server", whenever I try and run a report.
The other gives me "Error 20000: N", whenever I try and run a report.
Anything sound familiar here guys? I have dll dependency headache.
Again, more info - I just checked out the PC's already in deployment (we had to re-do in the installer for some changes, the guys who did it originally aren't around anymore), and here is a list of the dll's installed on the machine.. what deployment method would this point to? And how can I replicate it? I'm not sure if I grabbed all the required DLL's from the client machine, as it didn't seem to follow the Crystal 8.5 deployment instructions, I could have easily have missed some? So I can't just use what I've got to create an installer and hope that it works...

Wow. I've never seen an app load all 3 SDKs in one go. the RDC, Automation Server, OCS and print engine APIs all in one (?!)Who wrote this app?
Don't know - the app was written years ago.. It's all a bit messed up, i'm just the cleaner :S
Once again, I have not a clue as to what SDK you are using.
What Sp1, SP2, SP3? Do you have links to these?
By SP3, I meant Windows XP Service Pack 3, 2, 1 - I've read around the net that Crystal 8.5 exporting breaks when you install sp3, and I thought that perhaps my deployments were failing because they were compiled on a sp3 box?
There is also CR 8.5 Service Pack 3 - apparently it can make CR work on Vista/Win7?
http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crystal_reports_en.asp
I have tried installing on dev machine, recompiling installer and running on test box - doesn't seem to help..
Do you have any machine where this actually works?
Yep, it's working on the clients machine - that is the one suffixed as "AA" in the linked difference file above
1st place to start is with a working app - is there such a thing? ^^
Next you want to know what SDK you are using.
Ok, so the VB6 app, under Project > References, lists : cpeaut32.dll
under Project > Components, lists: Crystl32.ocx
Is that any help?
Then you want to know what dlls to deploy.
Knowing the database connection type is good. - ODBC
Knowing the version of the db client that works is good. But that depends on having an actual working app.
Do you have CR 8.5 designer and are you able to run and refresh the report there?
Yep, I have 8.5 designer, and I can run and export the report fine.. But when I run MODULES on it, it's referencing C:\Program Files\Seagate Software\Shared\ExportModeller.dll & crtslv.dll.. Which don't exist on the client machine at this point in time..
I'd recommend you stop doing what ever you are doing, answer the questions and wait until I get back. As it is, you're all over the place and by the time I have a chance to reply, you're 1000 miles out in the bushes on your own. So, please answer the questions above and wait...

Deploy Crystal Report via ClickOnce without .msi

Hi,
I would like to know whether it's possible to deploy Crystal Report without requiring admin rights from the installer.
My program uses many 3rd party components. Most of them very heavyweight with licensing, COM objects etc but Crystal Report is the only one that needs a .msi install. Is it possible to include Crystal Report's dll with the application? I tried it but Crystal Report failed to load at the form saying there's something wrong with the installation (I didn't "install").

Only way to distribute the CR runtime is via the MSM or MSI files. For links to the msm and msi files see [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567] wiki.

App won't install with the prerequisite SAP Crystal Reports Runtime Engine

On installing with the following prerequisite checked:
SAP Crystal Reports Runtime Engine for .NET Framework 4.0
.. received this error:
Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\CRRuntime_32bit_13_0.msi
has changed since it was initially published.
Should I NOT use the prerequisite, and instead, use a merge module?

I ran a program with the exact same name, 2 weeks ago, on my VS 2010 Dev machine:
CRforVS_13_0.exe. (284 Meg)
Today, I followed your link, and downloaded the file with the same name, but different size: (1.5 Meg). I mean, a really major difference in size!
Because creating and testing installation packages is very time consuming, I want to verify what you have stated so that I completely understand before I change what currently works, which is for the client machine to separately install the CR runtime, to what you're proposing in including a prerequisite to my install package.
-> I should run this latest exe. It will add a prerequisite to the prerequisite list in Visual Studio 2010. The installation of this prerequisite will work, as the earlier one did not. And it will work for both 32- and 64-bit client machines.
Therefore, I can eliminate the need for the client machine to install the CR run time separately.
Please confirm, and then I will make the necessary changes, and do the install tests on client machines.
(Also, FYI the merge module did not work for me on a 32-bit client machine. So I removed it.)
Thanks, Peg

Crystal Reports Runtime 13 not found in sequence on App-V 5.0 SP2 Hotfix 5 client

My application uses a VFS installation of Crystal Reports Runtime 13. (i.e., the path to CR13 isn't specified as the Primary directory during sequencing, as my app uses that particular path)
On a test VM with an old App-V client (5.0.285.0) the application launches and can locate CR components successfully.
However, when we upgrade to the latest App-V client (SP2 HF5) the application fails to find CR.
The original application was sequenced with App-V 5.0 RTM (5.0.285.0). I've re-sequenced the app with the latest sequencer (SP2 HF4) but the error persists.
There is literally nothing in the Event Log and the app doesn't appear to report the error to Windows (it pops up a UI message saying CR 13 can't be located).
Procmon doesn't show anything meaningful, although I could have missed something whilst trawling through 16,000 lines of processes.
I enabled all App-V logs and nothing relating to an error can be found there.
I tried disabling DEP and following other advice in this earlier thread:
virtualizing-business-objects-crystal-reports-pro-110
OS: Windows 7 SP1, patched up to date.
App-V client: 5.0.3404 (SP2 Hotfix 5)
Anyone seen an issue like this?
I'm about to open a case with Microsoft Support, just thought I'd ask here first.
Regards.

Hi.
We raised a support ticket with Microsoft and with their help, found that the path length to the VFS installation of Crystal Reports was the issue.
I created an MST (btw, Crystal Reports MSI has numerous directory and registry entries that don't use best practice, so this took a while..) to reduce the path lengths.
As to why the RTM version of the client works (from our Microsoft support engineer):
"Regarding the “why”, between RTM and the next versions, lots of issues were corrected.
In this particular situation, the issue was related with the fact that the application stopped extending the buffer. Probably what happened was that a COM or Object Bug was corrected between RTM and SP2 and this had a negative effect on the application. What
this means is that, in fact, the application was not supposed to work in RTM as well, due to buffer being extended."
So in summary, if you have an application with a particularly long path structure, you may need to re-sequence for the SP2 version of the client.

Issue with New Release Deploying Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010

Previously I created a deployment project with Visual Studio 2010 using the Beta 2 release of the distributable. This worked fine and installed on a 32-bit XP machine.
I've since updated the project to use the new Release version of the distributable CRRuntime_32bit_13_0.msi. Now when I run the installed program it gives me the following message -
"An 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 Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi) containing the correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64, or Itanium) required. Please go to http://www.businessobjects.com/support for more information."
I've had a look at verious posts and added code to the app.config file so it looks like -
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
</startup>
and also tried targetting various .NET frameworks, but without success.
Am I missing something?

Hello,
More info, are you installing on the same PC as the Beta was installed on or a clean PC?
Your app must be set to the full framework, not the client version.
Are you installing by right clicking on your setup.exe and selecting run as administrator?
Setting that option in the app.config is only required if you are using that driver you found the info on.
Run ProcessMonitor and set it to filter your installer and see what it reports.
Thank you

Deploying 'Crystal Reports' on a 64 bit machine

Hi,
I am trying to deploy my application on a 64 bit machine.
I am using Crystal Reports XI release 2.
When I tried to deploy it ona 32 bit machine i simply added the
CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm file to my detup project and it worked.
However, when I tried to do the same thing on the 64 bit (with a 64 bit setup project)
I recieved a runtime error message:
"An 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."
after that it was said:
"Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi)
containing the correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64 or Itanium) required..."
I installed 'CRRedist2005_X64.msi' on the 64 bit machine and tried to run my setup with and without
the CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm file, and it didn't work.
What should I do next?
Thanks,
Arik

Hi Arik,
You need to use the CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm file for the application deployment.The 'CRRedist2005_X64.msi' is meant for the bundled version of Crystal for Visual Studio 2005.
You could refer to this [Business Objects Note.|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do]
In addition, you would need to enable the 32 bit mode of the ASP.NET 2.0 on the deployment server. This is because it is necessary to run the application under 32 bit mode. Please refer this MS Kbase article for more info - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435

Deploying crystal reports basic for visual studio 2008 for VB6

My application has a module in .net and other in vb6.
I have a problem on deploying crystal reports in client machines, for module in vb6.
The vb6 application uses crystal viewer control obtained from crystal reports basic for visual studio 2008.
What type of deployment should I use?
Currently, I have a setup with prerequisite "crystal reports basic for visual studio 2008".
But I think it misses the dlls crviewer.dll and craxddrt.dll, so I put them in setup and with the register COM options, and it works, but it's not working very well.
When I open a form that uses crystal viewer, the setup (I have created) is lunched and says that have to restart machine. Then it opens the report, but the next time I use the application it does the same thing.

Ok, thank's for the posts, they help so much.
So I'm going to discard vb6 and move to .NET, but... there is a problem:
Many reports have parameters that are asked before showing the report.
The Crystal Viewer that is used in VB6 version isn't the same used in .NET.
The viewer of VB6 asks the parameters in the way we want, however the .NET crystal viewer ask's the parameters in way that we don't like, because we have to do next -> next -> next...
The links above show the diferences:
VB6 -> http://picasaweb.google.com.br/paulo.gonc/CrystalReports#5249249283702618322
.NET -> http://picasaweb.google.com.br/paulo.gonc/CrystalReports#5249246459437178242
There is a way to configure Crystal Viewer, so that parameters asking form will work like the vb6 away?
