SAP Crystal Reports 2011: Error INS00140 and other install errors

Hi all,
There have been many customers who have downloaded the Crystal Reports 2011 installation package and have run into an error when the installer attempts to recognize the keycode being used. The error received is "The Product Keycode is not valid INS00140."
This thread is meant to track all current resolutions that have been determined based on troubleshooting with customers thus far. In addition, the thread will provide you with the list of things that we need to know in order to properly troubleshoot the issue.
Before attempting any of the steps below, please be sure that you are using the latest version of Crystal Reports 2011 which is SP02. You can download this version from the SAP [website|http://www.sap.com/solutions/sap-crystal-solutions/query-reporting-analysis/sapcrystalreports/index.epx].
Coy
====================
Resolution Options
Windows XP & Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable
If you are installing Crystal Reports 2011 on Windows XP, then you need to ensure that the following Microsoft patches are not installed on the machine. You can check this by using the Add / Remove Programs dialogue.
KB2467175
KB2467174
KB2467173
If any of these are installed, then please remove them before attempting to install Crystal Reports 2011.
Installing with Dashboard Design 2011 or Presentation Design 2011
If you are installing Crystal Reports 2011 on the same machine as Dashboard Design 2011 or Presentation Design 2011, then there may be a problem with the registry key that points to the location of the keydecoder DLL. To check this, launch run regedit and navigate to the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Shared Tools\keydecoder.dll
You want to make sure that the "path" key is pointing to the valid path for the keydecoder.dll. The correct path to the DLL should be: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x8keydecoder.dll.
Uppercase License Key
In addition to the above, you need to make sure that you are entering the license key in all uppercase characters. There is a current issue with the installer where it does not accept lower case characters.
Fix - Coming in SP02, but can implement manually for now
Locate the BCM-4-0.dll.2.Config file in the <install package directory>\dunit\product.crystalreports-4.0-core-32\actions
(replace crystalreports with crystalreportsjava for CR for Ent and xcelsius for dashboards)
Open BCM-4-0.dll.2.Config
Locate this line:
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="8.0.50727.0-8.0.50727.1434" newVersion="8.0.50727.4053" />
Modify the oldVersion number to make the line like this one:
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="8.0.50727.0-8.0.50727.4053" newVersion="8.0.50727.4053" />
This should allow you to install without issue.
Further Troubleshooting
If none of the above helps to resolve the issue, then we need the following:
The installation logs from the following folder: C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR USER NAME>\Local Settings\Temp\<DATE OF YOUR LAST ATTEMPTED INSTALLATION>
The results from attempting to run the keycode validator directly. You can find it under the folders that contain the installation package. For example, C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR USER NAME>\My Documents\CrystalReports2011\DATA_UNITS\CrystalReports\dunit\product.crystalreports-4.0-core 32\actions\isKeyCodeValid.exe -keycode <YOUR KEYCODE> -version 140 -property CR.EnableCR
You should submit a new forum post with relevant details about the error and provide links to download the logs generated by following the above steps.
Edited by: Don Williams on Dec 22, 2011 7:53 AM

Then try these:
1. Download the latest version of the installation package for Crystal Reports 2011. To verify the version of extracted package, open productid.txt file located at: {installation package}\DATA_UNITS\CrystalReports\.
Make sure it is not less than 14.0.2...
2. Where to download Crystal Reports 2011 installation from: - free trial from SAP Online shop http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx - from SDN Community page http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm - from Service Market Place http://service.sap.com/sbop-downloads Note: downloads from all above listed locations are fully functional product installations. Trial version defined by expiring key code, not by functionality limitations.
3. Copy the installation package to a hard drive if possible to avoid any networking issues.
4. Login to the machine as Local ADMINISTRATOR.
5. Temporary disable any kind of firewall, antivirus, network security etc., if possible.
6. On the latest versions of Windows, even if logged in as local Administrator, right-click the setup.exe and select "Run as Administrator". If do not have Administrator account, right click "Run as" Select current user and uncheck the "Protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity".
7. Make sure there is enough space on the computer. If not sure about the space, run "Custom" installation with minimum components. Non-mandatory components could be added at any time.
8. Finally, if there is an existing "InstallData" folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects rename it to "InstallDataOLD"

SAP Crystal Runtime 13 - free to use?

Hi,
We have a few third party systems that use SAP Crystal Runtime. What we have currently is version XI.
Just wanted to find out that if its free to upgrade to 13? Not aware of any licensing agreements we have with SAP given that we don't use any of the designer, analytics, dashboard tools. It's just really Runtime
I have tried downloading the latest version from the website below and actually tried installing and did not get prompted for any licenses or registration.
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads

Hi Kate,
You cannot simply update those older third party applications to the newer versions of our runtime. Only those creators of the application can do that.
Downloading and installing from the link you used will do nothing for those applications.
To get updates you need to contact the makers and ask them if they support version 13 runtime and they have to provide you with an update installer.
As for licensing, they are responsible to handle that part. If you want to have a look here's the link:

Differene between SAP Crystal Dashboard Design and Presentation Design

Dear All,
SAP Crystal Dashboard Design
SAP Crystal Presentation Design
Somehow I am failing in installation of the both versions to find the difference whereas the price variation between these two are so high.
Can anyone brief me the exact difference between above two.
Again inside the TAB of any one of the above we see there are 2 versions named Departmental and Personal Edition in which Personal Edition costs too high. Unable to know why such difference in pricing that too for personal edition.

Thanks
BaaRaa.

Hi Baskar,
To get the difference between the crystal presentation design & dashboard design, please check the below link.

Windows 8.1 is throws error when displaying SAP Crystal Reports 10.5

Hi there,
On windows 8.1 – 64 bit SAP Crystal Reports fails to work (even empty report):
“Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version 10.5.3700.0, culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=blahblah' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.”
Project that run SAP Crystal Report was compiled as 64 bit & 86 bit & ANY CPU, but all displayed the same error message. Is windows 8.1 64 bit missing any *.dlls? Or is there compatible CRRuntime engine with windows 8.1 64 bit?
I had this problem before on windows 7 but by changing solution Platform and Target CPU – solved the problem, however windows 8.1 seems to have a bug!
More Info about app:
VisualStudio2010
SAP BusinessObjects XI 4.0
Support Pack (several been tried): crruntime_64bit_13_0_7.msi

Post Author: JonathanP
CA Forum: .NET
Are you simply viewing the report, or exporting it?
The error doesn't tell us much. A windows application should not need any special permissions. Try giving the user full rights to the temp directory, as the report engine does need to write seme files there.

SAP Crystal Reports 2011 - Product keycode

Dear all,
I have been requested to install SAP Crystal Reports 2011 to use it as a reporting tool for our SAP ERP 6.0.
However, I got stuck when the installation program asks me for the "Product Keycode". Does anybody know if there is a temporary product keycode so we can evaluate this product before purchasing it?If so, where is it?
Once SAP Crystal Reports 2011 is successfully installed, do we need to install anything else in order to set up the connection between SAP Crystal Reports 2011 and SAP ERP 6.0?
Thanks in advance,
Marc

Since someone on your site obtained CR 2011, they should also have a permanent keycode...
Failing that, the only way to get a 30 day temp eval keycode is from here;
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
But you will still have to go back to who ever obtained your current CR 2011 and ask them for a permanent keycode.
Re. Connection to SAP ERP 6.0. You're better off asking in the SAP Crystal Reports Database Connectivity|SAP Crystal Reports - Data Connectivity; forum rather than in this forum.

SAP Crystal Server 2013 - Report Application Server failed

Hi,
Recently we have installed SAP Crystal Serve 2013, Installation was sucesfull. But the below servers are not started:
1) CrystalReports2013ProcessingServer - Running with Errors.
2) CrystalReports2013ReportApplicationServer - Failed.
We tried reinstalling the application and restarted the Server intelligent agent also, still those two servers alone are not getting started, other servers hosted in the applications are working fine.
Could anyone help me on this.
Thanks and Regards,
VijayanandSM

Hi Arvind,
I have downloaded the trial version of the application from the below link:
Small Business BI Solutions | Crystal Server Essentials | SAP
Can you please provide more details about the SAP Marketplace.
I will ask my clients to register and get the correct version of the installation setup. Currently we are using Windows Server 2008.
Thanks your reply.

SAP Crystal Presentation Design

I have recently purchased and downloaded SAP Crystal Presentation Design as this appears to be the first product that works with Windows 7 and Office 2010. However, every time I try hit the small icon to 'Send to Adobe Acrobat PDF' I get the following error message - 'Adobe Acrobat 9.4 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available'. Needless to say, Windows gives no solution to this problem!!
Has anyone else encountered this problem and, if so, did you find a solution? The only remote possibility I can think of is that I also have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro loaded on my laptop and use it frequently but I cannot believe this would create an Application clash.

Hi David - SAP Crystal Presentattion Design 2011 was released on the basis it worked with Windows 7 and Office 2010 - the Version is 6.0.0.0 and the Build is 14.0.0.760. I mentioned in my question that the only potential issue I could see was that I also had Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 installed but assumed that Presentation Design came with an integrated version of Adobe which ran independently to anything I had on my laptop. As a last resort I ran the 9 Pro repair tool and it appears to have fixed the problem and I can now view the Presentation Design output through Adobe! Bizarre, I know but I also recall reading somewhere that users had experienced some Office Application issues after installing versions of Adobe Acrobat. Anyway, thanks for your input but the problem appears to be resolved (at least for now!)

1st scenario
When in a runtime, it's keep appear a dialog box. This dialog box ask me to suppy Server, User ID, Password and Database. Once all information is supplied, my report display the data as expected
2nd scenario
I change my report using OLE DB (ADO) -> Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server -> checked on Integrated Security. I just choose Server, and Database. I assume me using Windows Authentication
When in a runtime, there's no dialog box as above. My report display the data as expected. really cool
Look's like, when report using SQL Server Authentication there's some problem. but, when report using Windows Authentication, it's fine.
I'm looking for comment. Please help me

Hello,
MS SQL Server 2008 requires you to install the MS Client Tools for 2008.
Once install then update all of your reports to use the SQL Native 10 as the OLE DB driver.
The try again, if it still fails search, lots of sample log on code in this forum.

How to use the distinct key in formula field in SAP Crystal Reports

I want to use the distinct key in formula field in SAP Crystal reports.
When i'm using it shows an error.
Please suggest me....

Hi,
Use DistinctCount keyword directly for your calculation instead of count(distinct(....
Alternatively, if you want to avoid duplicate records, under "File" > "Report Options" make the 'Select Distinct Records' as True.
Thanks,
Raghavendra
