Merge Module Problem - I think!!

I had tried the trail version of Crystal Reports XI and was able to make it work in my applications just fine. Now that I have purchased the product I have had nothing but trouble. I can not get it to work even with the previous application that I had it working in.
I have a Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Visual Basic Windows application. I have referenced the CrystalDecisions. CrystalReports.Engine, ReportSource, Shared, Windows.Forms. I have also referenced BusinessOffice.Enterprise.BIAR. I have created a setup application and it has detected the dependicies and included the merge modules. I have tried it using different downloaded merge modules and it still does not work. The error I get when I am trying to install the application is as follows:
An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'BusinessObjects.Enterprise.Desktop.Agnostic.dll,Version= "11.5.3300.0",Culture="neutral",PublicKey Token="692fbea5521e1304"
If anyone knows what direction to point me in on this one I would really appreciate it. I need to move on with this application!

Hi, I've had a similar problem in a project built in Visual Studio 2003, using Crystal Reports 10. I determined that on our build machine, the project was not being built with the right version of the referenced dependency: CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms. In our case, at compile time, the build machine would check the GAC for that file and found the version 9 copy that was available. At runtime, version 9 was not available but version 10 was installed (by design) and we received the same error as you.
To resolve the error, ensure that you are building using the correct version of your references. By 'correct', I mean use the same version at compile time as will be available at run time.
I hope that helps! (I realize you posted the question 2 months ago, only stumbled on it now looking for the solution to my own, different, problem)

3D Graph Merge Module Problem

I am using a 3rd party intaller (InstallShield Express) to produce my
distributables. Into my project i insert the required merge modules, such
as the run-time engine. However when i try to include the ComponentWorks 3D
graph merge module InstallShield cannot merge it into the build. Has anyone
else experienced this or know why this might be happening.

Tom,
If you are using .NET in this project then you may need the updated merge modules, you can get then here:
Unable to Import Merge Module Error When Building Installer in Visual Studio .NET with Measurement Studio 6.0 Merge Modules.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/36C5E45E15A6862D86256B79005F89BB?OpenDocument
Otherwise this should work just fine, here is the link to it.
Distributing Visual C++ Projects That Contain Tools for Visual C++ Components
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/41694B641CEFF03D862568B900546BCE?OpenDocument
Depending on the error that you get when you insert the merge module you may need to repaor the installation. Depending on the version that you are using you can go to add/remove programs and repair
it, if this is specific to the 3D graph then this could fix it.
Please keep me posted on this problem.

Having a print problem on a mailing label report using the merge modules.

Crystal Reports 2008 v 12.1.6.1116
when I print directly from Crystal Reports designer, the labels print correctly. If I print the report from our application software using the Crystal merge module, the top of page margin is not the same.
I am using Crystal Report 2008 Fix Pack 1.5 Merge Modules.
Any idea what might be causing this ? I do not see any settings in the CrystalReportViewer that would cause the top of page margin to change.
Note: We were using a previous version of Crystal Reports, version 11 using the merge modules and it worked just fine. After changing to the 2008 merge modules we are running into this problem.

Which Version of VS.NET you are using?
       VS 2008 v 9.0.30729.1 SP
. Which application you are developing desktop or web?
       Desktop
. Error messages you are facing?
        No error message, just the top of page margin is wrong
. Are you facing this error in development machine?
       The mailing label report works just fine printing directly from the Crystal Reports 2008 Design application. However is I try to print the exact same report using the CrystalReportViewer in the merge module, the top of page margin is different. Basically printing from the designer, there is some spacing at the top of the page, printing in the vb.net app the spacing at the time of is missing.
. Are you trying to deploy this application?
       Yes
. Operating System?
        The OS I have tried this on is XP Pro SP3 and also Vista Business SP1
. How are you deploying your application?
        We build a installshield setup to install the merge modules

Problem with the clientinstallation runtime and merge module

I'm using CR XI SP4 and as a data source I use a XML file that was defined
with a XSD.
From my application I generate a XML file and start CR through a Delphi
component.
As a parameter I supply a RPT file without data.
That's all working.
Now I want to start my application on a client. Therefore I have created a
MSI file from the 4 Merge files of SP4 and run the installation on the
client.
Used merging modules of SP4 :
1.      CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Designtime.msm
2.      CrystalReports11_5_RDC_License.msm
3.      CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Reportengine.msm
4.      CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Runtime.msm
Then the program crashes with a Windows error.
If I save the Data in the report it works. The data ist not up to date then.
If I install a complete CR XI it works, even when there is no data in the
report.
The data ist diplayed correctly.
What am I doing wrong?
What do I have to install on the client to make it work?
Thanks in advance for your quick help.

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?

Merge Modules and InstallShield

Post Author: dpsours
CA Forum: General
We are building an installation package with InstallShield 12 that includes merge modules obtained from "Merge Modules for Crystal Reports 9 RDC Deployments" on http://support.businessobjects.com/downloads/merge_modules.asp#01
We have merge modules for each language in our merge module folder but InstallShield only recognizes one set and there is no way to select languages. "rdc9_deployment.pdf" does not cover how to build an installer with multiple languages. If we want to include the localized resource dlls for Chinese, French, German and Japanese do we need to individually include those dlls in a separate component?

Well I think I stumbled on an answer. I took what you said about needing the NI-VISA drivers, combined with a bit of Google searching to discover that Network Variables require the LogosXT assembly to function. This lead me to install the LogosXT assemblies from the NI-VISA driver, which immediately resulted in my program working again.
From there, I did a bit more searching which brought me to this thread: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabWindows-CVI/logos-msm-in-CVI2013-SP2-depends-on-logosxt-msm-with-a-differ...
That thread lead me to realize that I was experiencing the exact same problem in my program, that the Logos merge module had a dependency on an incorrectly signed LogosXT merge module, which caused LogosXT to be excluded from the setup project and subsequent installs were missing the LogosXT assembly.
I was able to correct it by downloading the corrected Logos merge modules from the linked thread, replacing the existing modules in the Merge Modules directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Merge Modules\), and recompiling. After you replace the files, you'll see the LogosXT merge module appear in the dependencies in your setup project, indicating that the issue has been resolved.
Hope this helps.

Installshield Merge Module Rather Than Run-Time Engine

I create installations for our company using Installshield 11
Professional. At this point, the only way to install the
necessary files to run a Lab View application is to add the Lab View
7.1 run time engine into the setup.
What I am looking for is an alternative. I am hoping there is
some sort of merge module out there which can be added to Installshield
so I don't have to call the Lab View run-time engine installer from my
installer.
Does such a thing exist?
Or does anyone have any advice on how I can make a Lab View installer using InstallShield and make the installation unified?
I don't prefer the current setup I have where our software installation
begins, then the run-time engine installer takes over, and then our
setup continues.
Thanks for any help,
Adam

Hi Rolf,
It seems to me that you are explaining the problem I encountered after finding the merge modules which Chris led me to. That problem was which merge modules to use?
I have in fact been trying to identify which modules I'd need, and was
going to do it by trial and error. If there is an easier way then
I'll give your method a shot.
Is this what you are refering to in your message above?
Well,
I'm not sure I understand you correct, but yes I think that is what my
message meant. Basically if you look at the two VIs and try them out
you will more or less see how they work.
You can then try to create a small tool, that given a *.msm file as
input will tell you which other msm files you need to include in your
Install Shield installer. If that is easier than trial and error is of
course something you can depate over. Also note that the order of
inclusion of msm files in an installer seems to be important too. The
lowest one in a depency chain should be first I believe.
For your particular problem you would look at the LVRunTime.msm
file to get a list of all other modules you need to include in your
installer. I actually would suspect that Install Shield should have
some functionality to list dependencies of merge modules, too.

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.

Crystal report merge module

Hi Members,
We have an application developed in Visual Basic6, MSAccess(Datastorage) and Crystal Reports11 (for reporting), and working fine since years.
Now, we have developed the same application using Labview 7.1.
We are using Crystal Reports Ver.11 for report generation, and working fine. (Had to do this because we have invested a lot of $ for Crystal Reports.)
Now we want to distribute the software to our customers by giving them the setup. We are sucessfully able to generate the setup of Labview application and working fine on the customer PC, but it gives problems when generting reports on the customer's PC. We studied the documentation of Crystal reports, and found that they have Merge modules that needs to be included in the Setup. We have done it sucessfully in VB6, using MS-Installer, because they support including .MSM files directly.
We would like to know, how we can include those .MSM files of crystal reports in Labview Application builder,
or
how to include these .MSM files into our setup cd that is to be given to our customer.
Thanking you,
with best regards from,
Kiran V Sutar

P.S. : I have also posted this question on other forum at : http://forums.lavag.org/Crystal-Report-t13349.html
I hope this does not offend anybody, Since I am desparate to get a solution to this.

Sorry for the late reply. Just got back from work. I asked the previous developer. They told me they're using .NET to call the Crystal Report 2013 in VF. Yes we use the SAP Crystal Reports Developer Version for Visual Studio.NET. When i check they reference this C:\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\dotnet\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll. Back from my previous concern.
My concern is when i'm going to deploy my application to my client.Will it work if i'm going to add the merge module file to my package from this link SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads? Because it say its for Visual Studio and Framework 4.0.
Do i really need to change my target framework to 4.0 in VS2010 and add the framework 4.0 dependency in my package?
Thank you for your reply......

Crystal Reports XI - Where to find the Merge Module and the Install Shield?

Hi,
I'm using CR XI with Delphi 2006 and I'm having problems with the client side instalation of the program.They say I have to install the Merge Modules through an Install Shield programs.
Where to find this and how to use?
Thanks!

Hi,
Install shield is a part of MS Windows not with the BusinessObjects so I was not able to find any BO document on it.
I have searched over the internet and found some useful links about Install Shield for Windows:
http://gormanonline.com/blogs/msidle/archive/2008/05/02/basic-introduction-to-installshield-and-windows-installer.aspx
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InstallShield
Microsoft Windows includes registry-activated logging services to help diagnose Windows Installer issues. This article describes how to enable this logging service.
Open the registry with Regedt32.exe and create the following path and keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
Reg_SZ: Logging
Value: voicewarmup
You can use this example:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftwindowsInstaller]
u201CLoggingu201D=u201Dvoicewarmupu201D
The letters in the value field can be in any order. Each letter turns on a different logging mode. Each letteru2019s actual function is as follows for MSI version 1.1:
v Verbose output
o Out-of-disk-space messages
i Status messages
c Initial UI parameters
e All error messages
w Non-fatal warnings
a Start up of actionsr Action-specific records
m Out-of-memory or fatal exit information
u User requests
p Terminal properties
+ Append to existing file
! Flush each line to the log
u201Cu201D - Wildcard, log all information except for the v option. To include the v option, specify u201C/lvu201C.
Once activated, the log files that are generated may be found in your %TEMP% directory.
Hope this will give you a clarification about Installation Shield for Windows.

Crystal Reports 12 merge module fails ICE validation during installation

Hi Falk, thanks for your interest.
Yes, I can build the setup, but I need to have zero ICE validation warnings in order to pass the Vista Certification process. It seems to me that the default merge module for CR2008 has been put together in a way that fails best practice - eg. ICE validation.
The merge module is simply added to a feature within the installer product, and if I turn on the switch to "Ignore ICE warnings", then the build works OK and I can install the product no problems. However if I turn off the "Ignore ICE warnings", then the build fails and stops dead.
The snippet I posted here was from the log file.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,

Crystal 2008 Merge Module SP 2.2 - SP 3.0 Cannot Rebuild Setup Program

I have a project that did use Crystal Reports 2008 Merge Module sp2.2. We upgraded to Merge Module CR 2008 sp3.0 hoping for speed improvements. So far we cannot even build the setup program. The Installer is referencing CR 2008 sp2.2 AND CR 2008 sp3.0 merge modules now and then generates an error stopping the build process. We have gone through every referenece and even went so far as to delete the sp2.2 merge module. The installer still tries to add it. We have removed and replaced all referneces in the program for Crystal. Still same problem. We have been working with Installshield for 2 weeks on this problem but still no resolution. We had a terrible time figuring out all the dependencies for the CR 2008 sp 2.2 originally and eventually had to pay for Crystal support to even get this to work. I am very surprised at how hard it is to use Crystal Reports in a VB.Net project. Please help.

Hi,
WRT InstallShield, what version of InstallShield do you use and what type of project is it - InstallScript or MSI? There's an aritcle here on a couple of possible solutions for -5037 http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=Q109144&sliceId=
I've also seen a comment to turn off .NET dependency scanning for the components in the project, and add the components back in manually, to workaround the error.
For each new release of a Crystal merge module I replace the merge module in the location where the merge modules are held (e.g. C:\Program Files\InstallShield\2010\Objects), and then open my InstallShield MSI project, deselect the merge module in the Redistributables view and then reselect the merge module which refreshes the references to the merge module in the project. That said moving from CR2.2 to SP3 the merge module filename has changed so for SP3 this will be listed as a seperate Redistributable (or Object in InstallScript), but I've already built a setup using this without any issues, using this method of deselecting / reselecting the merge module.
WRT the Visual C++ libraries, I have to edit the Crystal merge module to change the ModuleDependency ModuleLanguage to language independant in order for the build to be successfull (as per this lengthy forum posting here 2008 SP1 Merge Modules). I'm sure you've already gone through all this pain!

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.

RemovePreviousVersions and merge module issues

I've created an application in VS 2005 that uses a setup and deployment project for distribution. It has a few rpt files included. They were developed just using the version of Crystal that came with VS 2005. When building the project for deployment the msi file was 2MBs in size. After I figured out that I had to include a merge module, the msi is now 27 MBs! The merge module I included is CrystalDecisionsRedist2005_x86.msm.
When we package a new version, that will serve as both an install and an update, we have to set RemovePreviousVersions = true. When we run this new msi on a computer with the old version of our software, it removes our software plus the Crystal stuff. Then it has to reinstall the Crystal stuff and then our software. This install takes over 5 minutes, which is WAY too long.
So, a couple questions arise from this. 1. Is there a way to make the Crystal stuff "permanent", like you can with other files within the setup project? This way it wouldn't get uninstalled and reinstalled every time we do an update. 2. Is there a subset of the CrystalDecisionsRedist2005_x86.msm that we can use instead that wouldn't balloon our install by 25 MBs and would still be enough for our reports work? This would also speed up the install if we had to uninstall and reinstall the Crystal stuff every time.
Thanks!

Is there a way to make the Crystal stuff "permanent", like you can with other files within the setup project?
- Not that I can think of. Not if you have to use RemovePreviousVersions = true. I mean, you just told it to remove previous version(?). You may want to fool around with setting the bin directory to read only, but I've never done that and have no idea if the app will work at all and what will happen when "RemovePreviousVersions = true" is attempted.
Is there a subset of the CrystalDecisionsRedist2005_x86.msm
- no there is not.
