Native XML Driver Deployment

Question

For a while we had trouble using the native xml driver, but it has been worked out here:
VB6 & XML Datasource using Native XML Driver
In that thread there was mention of deploying the driver, and some extra work that needed to happen. I found those instructions repeated again here for another user:
https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/1428
We have followed the instructions of coping the required files and java runtime to a new test client, but our reports do not launch.. we get this error after a good 30 seconds of hang-time,
Invalid Argument Provided
I've doubled checked the instructions and all files are copied, and edited the crconfig.xml to point to the new j2re bin folder. There doesn't appear to be many discussions with this error, what does it mean? Thanks.
Note that we are using the RDC, Native XML Driver, Crystal Reports XI R2 SP4.

Answer 1

Ok I went over the process again, and am a little confused -
Install the Java (JVM) 2 Runtime Environment (this is essentially the Java Framework needed to launch the crdb_xml native driver 1.4.2 from the java sun web site at:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html.
Create a java folder inside the " C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\3.0";.
Copy over the Crconfig.xml(C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\java) file from the development machine to the deployed machine in at the following path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\java" path. Open the crconfig.xml ; this file in Notepad and search for the line <JavaDir>. If JRE is installed to C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_12\bin then the value should be look like this <JavaDir> C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_12\bin</JavaDir>.
Create a folder called lib in the "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\java".
Copy over the entire contents of the lib folder (especially the external folder) from the development machine to the newly created lib machine on the deployed machine. The point of this is to ensure that the crconfig.xml file contains all the files here which exist at the correct path which they now should because we copied over the lib and external directories.
Copy crdb_xml.dll, crdb_xml_res_en, and all the files with "crdb_xml_res_xx from your development machine to the deployment machine (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\bin).
Restart your machine and try accessing your web application. The reports will show up the data without any issue.
The above is written for CR XI release 1. You may have to adjust the path given above as you do not specify the version of Crystal reports you are using.
On my development machine,  there is no Crconfig.xml  at this location (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\java)   .  In fact the java folder is not there either, I only see bin and crystalreportviewers11 folders.  Can these instructions be confirmed for me as accurate? I do not even see a 3.5 folder under C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\
