Merge Module deployment on Windows XP Spanish Language fails

Hello, I have a install package using merge modules for CR XI R2 SP4. When I install this package on Windows XP, everything works fine. However when I run it on a customer's computer who is running Windows XP in Spanish localization mode, the files never get installed to
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\....
The BO folder is never created. Is there a solution, do updated MSMs have this support? Thanks!

Enable installer logging as per [this|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223300] MS kbase and see what the logs tell you.

Crxi merge module deployment

Hi,
We are moving to 11.5. Do the merge modules write anything to system32? Supposedly, some clients are blocking access to that directory.
As a side note, when we used 8.5, we put a lot of crystal dlls in system32. Did they ever have to go there?
thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,
Yes there are still a few dll's that need to go there due to high depencies on MS dll's. No way around this. You'll have to ask your customers to allow access and be sure to be the local PC admin with full rights so the registry and other runtime can be registered, copied and written to. I can't say which ones for sure, if you use ORCA from Microsoft you can open up the MSI or Merge Modules and look for the path. Or enable install logging to see which ones, we don't have a list.
For 8.5 it did work, we did not recommend putting them there though, made it messy cleaning up on un-install.
Thank you
Don

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.

What merge module and/or drivers necessary to deploy app with CWNumEdit, CWGPIB, CWSerial, and CWButton

Thank you to Johnathan for getting me this far. I am the person who is trying to build and deploy an app
onto another machine, of which i do not know what is on it. I got my app to build and now i'm creating an
installer and adding merge modules based on the help....when i run the app on the target machine, it
still says "An unsupported operation was attempted". I am assuming that i still need more merge modules
and/or drivers...and i don't know which. I am guessing the controls that still aren't "supported" are the
ones that are from visual studio 6 support.....I am guessing that these controls are:
CWNumEdit, CWGPIB, CWSerial, and CWButton.
Could someone help me and point me in the right direction if i need to install drivers for these and/or
what merge modules they are contained in?
THANK YOU!!
K

Hi KBr,
If you are using any ActiveX UI components (like CWNumEdit, CWButton) you need to include the CWUI_OCX.msm merge module as well as the NIMesaDLL.msm and nimetautils.msm. Those merge modules you can find in the [Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules\] directory. The CWSerial and CWGPIB ActiveX controls are part of the cwinstr.ocx file located on the Measurement Studio CD as you have already found.
When building an installer, you can simply add the cwinstr.ocx file to your setup application, and specify that it should be register when installed. You just click on the cwinstr.ocx file once its part of the setup project and then configure the Register field in the Properties Window.

Crystal 11.5 runtime deployment required merged modules and minimum size

I have some deployment restrictions. The 11.5 runtime merged modules are about 80mb, which is very large for use.
1. Are all merged modules required? It seems as if not all of them are needed. Can I get a list of the required ones?
2. Is there anyway to minimize the deployment? Either through the msmu2019s or by breaking them apart?
Any help is appreciated!

Hi, John;
The only supported method of deploying our runtime files is to use the merge modules. All of them are required, except for the Mapping merge module, which would only be used if you are using the Mapping feature.
There is no way to decrease the size of the deployment.
Best Regards,
Jonathan

Merge Module for Windows Server 2008

Hallo,
I made a project with C# in VS 2005, and when I ran this project on a XP machine where no VS 2005 was installed, I needed to make a Setup-Project with a CrystalReportsRedist2005_x86.msm on this machine.
Now I want to run this project on a Windows Server 2008, and this Setup-Project can´t be run on Win Server 2008.
Is there an other Mergemodule for Windows Server 2008?
Every thing runs exept Crystal Reports!
Can somebody help me please???

it was just a beginner mistake, i just had to convert the VS 2005 Project into VS 2008 Project, and install the runtime on the target machine (CRRedist2008_x86.msi). and that´s it!
it was not possible with the Merge Module.
at first I tried to do it with CrystalReportsRedist2005_x86.msm on a Windows 2008 Server.

Crystal Report XI merge module in the setup and deployment project VS 2005

Hello,
We've purchased and implemented Crystal Reports XI into our software.
We are working on installation of our software. We included CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm into our setup package.
For English it's installs correctly. For any other language (like German) install package itself fails.
For user to see installation screens in German we created installation in German and then created transform for the language.
Install fails with the message "can't find p3smpen.dll in the package...."
This dll is related to the crystal reports. We wander if we need to include language merge modules for CR XI?
thank you

Hi,
What is the dll version of Crystal Reports?
Also give a try installing server install.
Sincerely,
Amit

Windows 8.1 MUI Deployment vs default metro app language

Hi,
I try to deploy a Windows 8.1 Enterprise image with 2 languages, but when the Windows is deployed, the language of the metro apps (Bing news, ....) are not in the correct language.
I have start my GOLD IMAGE with a Windows 8.1 x64 Enterprise French. After that, I have added the English Language Pack. I have make a sysprep to the windows 8.1 with the two language (original language is french). I have import the .WIM
in SCCM to deploy it.
When I deploy the WIM image to a new computer with the default language french (set in unattend.xml), the first time a user open a session on the computer, the metro apps are in english (Windows Store, Bings News....). I'm unable to have the metro
app deployed with the corresponding language.
When I deploy by default in english, no problem! I don't know what is wrong, normally, the initial OS is french and i'm unable to have metro app in french!
Thank you,
Steve

Hi,
Considering that it's related to local or language settings.
By the way, I would like to know which part in your Windows store or Bing app display as English, the settings and UI or only the content in these apps.
I recommend you change all local or language settings in the unattended file as French to see what's going on.

Is there a way to add VS merge modules to a TestStand deployment

I have a DLL I am going to install in the GAC. It is in a merge module (msm file). Can I get the Test Stand Deployment utility to pull it in and install it as part of its installer build?

I'm not sure if you could get the deployment utility itself to pull it in, but you could definitely modify the MSI file created by the deployment utility. The following tutorial is for CVI, but it lists ways of modifying an MSI file that you can probably use with the TestStand installer.

Problem installing with merge module

I use CR Developer, Product Type Full, version 11.5.8.826.
I use it to design RPT files that use XML and XSD files as data sources.
I deploy these RPT files to client machines that also run a web enabled app I developed using ASP.NET v.2
I built an installer with the CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm merge module.
However, when I install on a clean client machine with the MSI I created I get some weird database access error in the Crystal Reportviewer that's embedded in my ASP.NET webpage.
When I then install the entire CR Developer product on the client machine everything works fine.
So clearly, the merge module I use does not install and register all the files required to make my product work. Am I using the wrong merge module? Should I be using the four RDC merge modules?
It's clearly not acceptable to have install the entire CR Developer app. Also, I saw another thread where they were talking about copying the entire C:\Program Files\Business Objects\common\3.5\bin directory to the client machine. That cannot be an acceptable solution either, right?
I need a definitive answer how to deploy the correct runtime environment to make my RPT files correctly run using the Report viewer in my web pages.
To be clear, I do NOT use VS.NET 2005 to develop my RPT files. I do not use anything built into Visual Studio to build my RPT files. The only interaction with .NET is that I have a Reportviewer object embedded in one ASP.NET web page that visualizes the RPT files I previously created using the CR Developer app.
This is from my web.config file:
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=11.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.ReportSource, Version=11.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=11.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=11.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
This is the aspx from the web page that shows the report viewer:
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="true"
    CodeFile="ReportPage.aspx.cs" Inherits="Paladin_CReports.ReportPage" Title="Paladin Reports - Crystal Reports - Report" %>

Hi,
Give a try to five read permissions to IIS_WPG for the temp folder which is under your account(In case of web application) and in case of windows app give read permission to a user for c:\windows\temp and to the folder which contains crystal reports.
Need more info?
What meerge module you have downloaded?
Right merge modules are [here|http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/runtime.asp#06]
Note if appliaction uses RDC only then you need to install RDC merge modules.
Windows or web application?
Are you changing the XML schema?
Hope this help!!

Merge Modul CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm requires admin rights

Dear all,
I created a VB2005 windows forms application using Crystal Reports XI R2 viewer and managed somehow to include CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm in a clickonce deployment package. What really bothers me is that local admin rights are required for the CR runtime files during initial installation of the programm (updates work fine as normal user).
Is there a way to avoid this?
Can I install CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msi prior to the application with (different) admin credentials during user logon and removed the merge module from the clickonce package?
Any ideas appreciated.
Regards

With the parameter " /qb pidkey=your product key" Glenn delivered the key to a solution. Using the SysInternals-tool psExec I was able to install the CR runtime an my target machines remotly and the users could install my software with normal users rights without problems:
I used the scripts RemoteInstall.cmd which has one single line
C:\Programme\PsTools\psexec
target_machine -u Domain\pcAdmin -c
server\pathORshare\InstallCR2005-Runtime.cmd
and InstallCR2005-Runtime.cmd which contains these commands
c:
cd %Temp%
copy
server\pathORshare\CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msi
crystalreports11_5_net_2005.msi /qb pidkey=my product key
del crystalreports11_5_net_2005.msi
BTW: psExec supports a parameter @file with a list of target machines
Your anwsers have really been a great help.

Merge Module and Service Paks

Post Author: iboulder
CA Forum: Deployment
Hello,
Can anyone tell me what service pak the Crystal Reports 9.0 merge module is at? The merge module appears to be new than SP 3, but older than SP 7.
Also, can anyone tell me were to get the merge module for CR 9.0 service pak 7?
Thanks.
Sheryl

I don't know if you really understand yet.
Nothing in my application nothing at all uses the html css, etc.. files.
The report server does not.
My application does not.
If i was calling the report server to display my reports, i could understand. Or if I was viewing the reports in my application in the html viewer. But I am not.
The report server ( it is a web service - my web service nothing to do with your report servers) only opens the rpt file and gets information from them to give to my windows form app ( it never displays a single report ).
My windows app does view the report. But it does so in the activex control. Not in the web control. It does not need the cab files from the server, everything is installed during setup.
I don't care if you install every dll you guys make on my clients computer.
Dll's are understandable, and can't be messed with and clients understand. What I don't like is have 5 or so folders under my windows forms application that contains css, html and image files.
These are just messy and un-needed. Plus more update headaches.
I guess this is really not a big issue.
I just don't understand why a windows forms app has to include all the html files that a web application would need.
Oh well the install does work, and I am not going to go through all the mess that I have had in the past trying to figure out which dlls need to be copied and registered like I have had to do for years. So I guess it is better than it used to be, even if my computer is cluttered with useless files.
I hope I don't sound mad, because I am not. I have used CR for 10+ years now, and I like the product. I just would like to see some improvements on the msm.
Thanks for your response.
I really do appreciate it.

Keycode for License Merge Module

Hi, please help. I am supporting a legacy enterprise app written in VB6 + Crystal Report 10, now it is upgraded to Windows 7 and Crystal Report XI R2. I need to create a deployment package using InstallShield. But the Crystal License Merge Module is requiring a Keycode entry. Where do I get it? Can I assume to deploy my app within our firm is runtime license and should be free of charge?

Hi Jonathan
Before we get to the keycode;
Do make sure yo are using CR XI R2 SP 6 as this is the only SP for CRXI R2 that supported WIN 7. To see how to update to SP 6, see this blog.
As for the keycode. You can all sales at 866-681-3435 or navigate the registry to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\Keycodes

How can I make usable install stuff with this tools?
Thanks, soky

Can somebody tell me where I can find the log that will tell me whats going on with this module at startup.
You say the module gets loaded, as does lsmod. So there will be no error message, as the system thinks the module is working(which it probably is). The reason your wireless is not working may be another issue. In order for some things to work correctly certain things need be loaded before other things can access them.
anyway, all error logs are in /var/log, shouldn't take you long to look through them. They are dated.
