Silent Installation For Crystal Reports Runtime Engine

Hi
I am now using vs2010 and I had created a setup package for my project.
I had added the merged module CRRuntime_13_0_1.msn into the setup project.
After building the setup package, I got the following items:
Project.msi
setup.exe
So, by executing the setup.exe, the program will check all the prerequisite. If those are not existed, the setup program will try to install.
Everything is fine. The program can detect the workstation missing the CR Runtime and installing it accordingly
Now, we want to deploy it to the whole company. We had decided to execute the setup package using a batch file.
So, we want to install the program silently. However, every time we call the setup.exe, it mentioned that we are required to accept the EULA from the SAP. The user is required to click the accept button on the screen and it is no longer a silent installation.
I had tried a number of method to suppress it but no luck. Is there a way to suppress the EULA?
Thank You!

Hi Tare,
CR for VS still uses the same installer as CR 2008 uses so see if this PDF for CR 2008 Silent Install works for you.
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/cr2008V1/en/xi3-1_cr_install_en.pdf
No Keycode required for CR for VS. And note you do need to change any paths specified or required.
I'll have to ping DEV to see if we support this, won't hear back from them until tomorrow...

App won't install with the prerequisite SAP Crystal Reports Runtime Engine

On installing with the following prerequisite checked:
SAP Crystal Reports Runtime Engine for .NET Framework 4.0
.. received this error:
Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\CRRuntime_32bit_13_0.msi
has changed since it was initially published.
Should I NOT use the prerequisite, and instead, use a merge module?

I ran a program with the exact same name, 2 weeks ago, on my VS 2010 Dev machine:
CRforVS_13_0.exe. (284 Meg)
Today, I followed your link, and downloaded the file with the same name, but different size: (1.5 Meg). I mean, a really major difference in size!
Because creating and testing installation packages is very time consuming, I want to verify what you have stated so that I completely understand before I change what currently works, which is for the client machine to separately install the CR runtime, to what you're proposing in including a prerequisite to my install package.
-> I should run this latest exe. It will add a prerequisite to the prerequisite list in Visual Studio 2010. The installation of this prerequisite will work, as the earlier one did not. And it will work for both 32- and 64-bit client machines.
Therefore, I can eliminate the need for the client machine to install the CR run time separately.
Please confirm, and then I will make the necessary changes, and do the install tests on client machines.
(Also, FYI the merge module did not work for me on a 32-bit client machine. So I removed it.)
Thanks, Peg

Merge files or redist installer for Crystal Reports 2011

I cannot find packages for merge files or installer for the redistribution files for Crystal Reports 2011. I have found them only for older versions. In the download section there is somewhere a hint that they are at a different position but no information where.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you
Arne Ortlinghaus

Hi Don,
thank you. It is ok using the files you indicated me. But there are still some doubts.
What does happen on a machine where a designer 2011 (internal version 14) is installed and an application that uses the dlls for Visual Studio 2010 (internal version 13). Does this work without problems?
In a readme for the redistributables for Visual Studio 2010 I have found the following text which I cannot interprete:
If you have installed Crystal Reports 2011 or any of the SAP BusinessObjects XI 4.0 products,
you may notice that their installation contains the same "Crystal Reports 2011" and "SAP
BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0" folders as you see in this folder. Please note that the
folder/files names may be the same but most files have a different version, and are not
compatible with the Crystal Reports 2011 or SAP BusinessObjects XI 4.0 products.
Currently we want to upgrade our programs from Crystal Reports 9 to 2011 and we have many installations where for one machine the Crystal Reports Designer is needed together with our applications.

Crystal Reports Runtime 13 not found in sequence on App-V 5.0 SP2 Hotfix 5 client

My application uses a VFS installation of Crystal Reports Runtime 13. (i.e., the path to CR13 isn't specified as the Primary directory during sequencing, as my app uses that particular path)
On a test VM with an old App-V client (5.0.285.0) the application launches and can locate CR components successfully.
However, when we upgrade to the latest App-V client (SP2 HF5) the application fails to find CR.
The original application was sequenced with App-V 5.0 RTM (5.0.285.0). I've re-sequenced the app with the latest sequencer (SP2 HF4) but the error persists.
There is literally nothing in the Event Log and the app doesn't appear to report the error to Windows (it pops up a UI message saying CR 13 can't be located).
Procmon doesn't show anything meaningful, although I could have missed something whilst trawling through 16,000 lines of processes.
I enabled all App-V logs and nothing relating to an error can be found there.
I tried disabling DEP and following other advice in this earlier thread:
virtualizing-business-objects-crystal-reports-pro-110
OS: Windows 7 SP1, patched up to date.
App-V client: 5.0.3404 (SP2 Hotfix 5)
Anyone seen an issue like this?
I'm about to open a case with Microsoft Support, just thought I'd ask here first.
Regards.

Hi.
We raised a support ticket with Microsoft and with their help, found that the path length to the VFS installation of Crystal Reports was the issue.
I created an MST (btw, Crystal Reports MSI has numerous directory and registry entries that don't use best practice, so this took a while..) to reduce the path lengths.
As to why the RTM version of the client works (from our Microsoft support engineer):
"Regarding the “why”, between RTM and the next versions, lots of issues were corrected.
In this particular situation, the issue was related with the fact that the application stopped extending the buffer. Probably what happened was that a COM or Object Bug was corrected between RTM and SP2 and this had a negative effect on the application. What
this means is that, in fact, the application was not supposed to work in RTM as well, due to buffer being extended."
So in summary, if you have an application with a particularly long path structure, you may need to re-sequence for the SP2 version of the client.

An error has occurred while attempting to load crystal report runtime 64

I am using Crystal Report 2008. Visual Studio 2008 Professional on a SQL Server 2005 X64 SP2

3) attempting to change target platform to X86 to run on the 64 bit OS. I have the following problems.
A) the configuration manager only have .NET as the platform. I cannot change it to X86
B) There is no project
file (any files ends with .proj) where I can modify manually to change the target platform. (I created website,not project from VS 2008)
Running the debug version (Control F5) from VS 2008 has no problem.
Please help

What assembly version of the dlls are you using (10.5 or 12.0)?
If you are using the 10.5 then you would need to run the 64 bit runtime installer for Crystal Reports Basic for VS.NET 2008.
If you are using the 12.0 then you will need to install the 32 bit runtimes for CR 2008 and change the application to run in x86 only mode.
Here is the note that covers that (it was written for XI R2, but applies to CR 2008 as well)

Crystal Reports Runtime Installer

Hello,
     I am currently trying to find the most recent installer for the Crystal Reports Runtime.
     If someone could respond with a link to the page that contains it that would be great.
     I am looking for the production version not the development installer.

Hi Everett and welcome
If you are using the RDC you do not want anything from .NET. Last version of CR that installed and supported the RDC was 11.5.x (also referred to as CR XI R2). You are using CR 11.0.x so updating to CR XI R2 will be one thing to do - if you absolutely have to use the RDC (more below). To update to CR XI R2, see the following blog: Where did all the Crystal Reports XI R1 and R2 fixes go?
The blog has links to runtime files, latest / last updates, how to update, etc.,etc.
Now, I want to make sure that it is clear that CR XI R2 is out of support, so no fixes, no phone support. You are welcome to ask here on SCN, but post any future queries re. RDC here:SAP Crystal Reports - Legacy SDKs
My recommendation would be to move away from the RDC and if at all possible go with the CR SDK for .NET (SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET). There is also an SDK for Java, if you're interested (SAP BusinessObjects - SAP Crystal Reports, Version For Eclipse Download). This is a free product that can be used with VS 2010, 2012 and 2013. Download links are documented here:

Crystal Report Runtime

Dear Readers,
First off, if I am writing this topic in the wrong forum, I appologize.
Secondly, I am out of ideas on how to troubleshoot my problem and have resorted to this community in hope that I could find a solution.
Situation:
We have a software that generates crytal reports. I design these reports myself and have access to all of them if needed.
Recently we have upgraded that software in question, and crystal report runtine was also upgraded ( had to uninstall crystal report runtime and install the bundled one before installing the software).
The software i'm talking about is bundled with Crystal Report 2008 Runtime SP2.   With this version, when i would send reports to be printed, they would always print sideways.   I contacted support and they said:
"This is actually a crystal runtime issue. In order to fix this you need to download a newer crystal release, the 3.1 version does have the fix:
https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm
The Runtime is found under the Utility Software type."
I went and downloaded the suggested file and it has fixed the sideway priting problem.
Here are the 2 remaining problems that support cannot give me an answer to solve this:
1- When I click the Printer button in the Crystal Report object and I select our Windows Server 2008 Fax driver, I can see printing to crystal report pages 1 of 2, 2of 2 and then the fax menu shows up (where i select a recipient, etc)   after i click send, the fax isnt being sent out.     If i send the same crystal report to a PDF writer instead and i try to fax it, no problems.
2- We have a Datamax I-4208 thermal label printer. When crystal report jobs are sent to the printer, all the data appears on the label...except the data is incredibly small, making it almost impossible to read.   If i open the .rpt file and send it to the label printer, then no issues.
what should i check out for?
Any ideas on how i can start trying to fix this?
thanks
-sebastien

You have two questions so I suggest you post two threads.
A quick suggestion for your 2nd question related to the label printer. Make sure you are not using the Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size feature in the Crystal Report. This allows the engine to scale your report output and results in horrible printing for label printers. Also, we've done a bunch of updates to printing in the last fix packs so ensure you are on the latest fix pack (3.3).

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.

Install the Crystal Reports Runtime SP2 to an alternate drive

I need to install the Crystal Reports Runtime SP2 (CRRuntime_12_2_mlb.msi) to a drive other then the C: drive. The installation package does not give the option to choose an install location. Is there any way this can be done?

If you have your AppPool set for 32 bit then install the 32 bit runtime, if it's set for 64 bit then install the 64 bit runtime.
Try searching, lots of posts on this subject.

License for Crystal Report for Visual Studion 2005

Hi All,
I am developing reports for my application using crystal reports for VS 2005. I read on microsoft site (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318102 ) that the free server software supports three active requests to the server. It further says that developer will need to purchase additional licenses to increase scalability. I think that our application would need the additional license. However, i was unable to find a link on business objects site were i can buy the additional license for crystal report for VS 2005. The link takes me to license for Crystal report 2008. It would be great if you can answer my following questions:
- what version of crystal reports do we need to purchase?
- do we need license for each implementation or do we need license for the developers only.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Abdul

Great questions! Let's get at em, one at a time:
How would you define a print job?
- A print job will essentially be consumed any time the print engine (crpe32.dll) needs to do work. So, processing one report = a print job. However, say you have one subreport, now the number of print jobs = 2. Now, say the subreport is in the details section and runs once per record. And you have 100 records. You will be running 1 + 100 print jobs. Paging to another page consumes a print job. Zooming consumes a print job, exporting and printing to a printer consumes a print job. So, depending on the report and the number of users, print jobs may be used up quite quickly. You can increase the print job limit by modifying the PrintJobLimit in the registry. For CR 2008, the reg entry is here:
HKLMsoftware usiness objectssuite 12.0
eport application serverinprocserver
(the above is used irrespective of the SDK (CR, RAS, BOE))
I am not using report viewer to render the report. I use 'ExportToDisk' method to save the report in word or pdf format. Does 'ExportToDisk' make one print job?
- see above. Again, if the report has a subreport, this will consume at least two print jobs.
How much time does a typical print job takes to complete?
- no way to tell in general terms. There are too many variables that will affect this. From how complex the report to database connections to version of runtime
What care shall I take to reduce the print job time?
- Best you can do is ensure that you are destroying the report object once you are done with it (report.close, report.dispose)
Will using Report Application Server (RAS) or Business Objects Enterprise increase the number of concurrent print jobs? If yes then by what amount?
- no it will not
To utilize Report Application Server (RAS) or Business Objects Enterprise, do I just need to use a specific SDK or is there some thing more to it?
- You do need to use the RAS assemblies for RAS, BOE assemblies for BOE. More information is below.
Sample RAS apps:

An article on RAS:

How to install SharePoint MOSS 2007 PIK for Crystal Report Server XI R2?

My configuration is :
Moss 2007 without any Crystal Report or BO component. on one box with Windows 2003 server

Thanks,

Answered my own question. Managed to upgrade to 5.0 following this process, but follow these instructions with care...
1. Stop all CMS services in Config Manager.
2. Go to Add/Remove programs and click "change" for Crystal Reports Server XI. Click on "Modify" then change the entry for MySQL4.1.13a to "Entire Feature will be unavailable" (from Enterprise -> Server Components -> Servers - > Central Management Server). This will remove the existing mySQL version and any data/license key information/customisation, so be wary.
3. Install the desired version of mySQL.
4. Use the MySql command line to create a new database - "create DATABASE BOE115;"
5. In the Central Config Manager, select the CMS and display its properties. Select the Dependencies tab and remove the old version of mySQL and add the new version. Click on the Config tab, then Select Datasource. Select mySQL driver, then complete the details for the newly created database. Once complete it will still produce an error, at which point you need to select the options to Re-create the Current Datasource.
6. Once the datasource is sucessfully recreated, restart the Crystal service in the Config Manager.
7. Open the Config tool, and add your license key. Then Re-Enable all the servers within the Servers page.
8. Any other customisation or preferences would need to be re-applied.
This worked for me, but obviously take care as your existing mySQL database will be completely removed during the process.
