Many issues in Crystal Reports for VS 2005 Pro

Question

<p>Hi All,</p><p> Got a few questions...</p><p>I just upgraded to VS 2005 Pro from VS 2003 pro. I find that there&#39;s alot of "bugs" or perhaps someone could point out some possible common errors I might have done... </p><p>First thing that got to me was that a report that would normally take about 6Mb of space, now takes approximately 25Mb ?!? Why is this happening ? an app that would normally land me at about 30Mb is now 100Mb.</p><p>Second, for some reason, I can&#39;t add any images (such as jpg files) that are saved in CMYK mode... when I try, Visual Studio simply crashes. I have to convert all of them to RGB... Why doesn&#39;t Crystal support this ?</p><p>At times, mostly frequent, if I am in the process of editing a report in design mode, I click save first, then I try to run my appclication, and the system replied that I don&#39;t have enough memory (I run on a Centrino 2GHz with 2GB of RAM and 20GB free space on my hdd). So I have to close Visual Studio and restart it in order to run in Debug or Release mode... Am I the only one experiencing this ?</p><p>Thanks for any input you can provide...</p><p>Marty</p><p>&#160;</p>

I went through the Process monitor logs and did not find anything regarding "Access Denied".
The only thing that I saw was that during the CreateFileMapping operation for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Business Objects\2.7\bin\ExportModeller.dll" the result was "FILE LOCKED WITH ONLY READERS". This is the first DLL that failes to register. After that I canceled the install
I created a log file during the install and this is what I got regarding this DLL:
Action 11:08:24: SelfRegModules. Registering modules
SelfRegModules: File: ExportModeller.dll, Folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Business Objects\2.7\bin\
CustomAction +ExportModeller.dll.DB481AA8_4496_4AA8_BA55_B972BCC311F8 returned actual error code -2147010895 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
DEBUG: Error 2835:  The control ErrorIcon was not found on dialog ErrorDialog
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2835. The arguments are: ErrorIcon, ErrorDialog,
Error 1904. Module C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Business Objects\2.7\bin\ExportModeller.dll failed to register.  HRESULT -2147010895.  Contact your support personnel.
MSI (s) (90:D8) [11:08:57:562]: Product: PROACT Maint .Net -- Error 1904. Module C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Business Objects\2.7\bin\ExportModeller.dll failed to register.  HRESULT -2147010895.  Contact your support personnel.
Niether the Process Monitor log nor the Install log are much help to me. So, I am still open for suggestions what to do next.
