VS2008 CR10 upgrade to VS2013 CR2013

I have an old ASP.NET 2.0 Website written using VS2008 with CR10.  I just had to upgrade my server and it is now running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard x64.  The old CR10 doesn't seem to work, so I used chat support back on 8/18 and they told me that I had to upgrade to CR2008 in order for it to work.  They provided me with a download and a 30-day demo license.  I upgraded the project, and installed the redistributables on my server, and it worked great.  I then went to buy a CR2008 upgrade license, and they tell me that CR2008 was discontinued as of...8/18.  GRRRR!!!!
So now I am stuck, but I figure I will bite the bullet and upgrade my website project to be VS2013 using CR2013.  I purchase the CR2013 upgrade license, but I cant seem to find any of the assemblies that I used to use.
Here is what my assemblies used to be for CR10:
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=10.2.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=10.2.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=10.2.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.ReportSource, Version=10.2.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc, Version=10.2.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework, Version=10.2.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore, Version=10.2.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Desktop.Report, Version=10.2.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>
and it used the httpHandler:
<add verb="GET" path="CrystalImageHandler.aspx" type="CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalImageHandler, CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=10.2.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
When I installed the CR2008 demo it upgraded my project to use the following assemblies:
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc, Version=12.0.1100.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore, Version=12.0.1100.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework, Version=12.0.1100.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
<add assembly="CrystalDecisions.ReportSource, Version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
and this httpHandler:
<add verb="GET" path="CrystalImageHandler.aspx" type="CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalImageHandler, CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
The question is...how do I now upgrade this to CR2013 assemblies, and where are the CR2013 redistributables that I install on my server?

The SDK no longer comes packaged with Crystal itself.  Instead, it's available for download here:  http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824  Use the "Install Executable" to install the integrations into Visual Studio.  The other files are for various types of deployments and you'll install one of those on your server.
If you have an earlier version of Visual Studio where you've installed the version 10.x assemblies of the Crystal SDK, you'll have to uninstall that SDK prior to installing Crystal for VS - the two versions are not side-by-side compatible.
There are some MAJOR differences in the SDK.  First off, you won't use any of the CrystalDecisions.Enterprise assemblies - they're not in the regular CR SDK any more (they're for connection to Crystal Reports Server or to BO Enterprise and are included in the BI Platform .NET SDK.)  Most of your code should still work as is, though.

  • Un-installing VS2008 after upgrading all Apps to VS2013

    I have upgraded all my applications from VS2008 Std to VS2013 Pro, except for one. It is a VS2008 ClickOnce app that I need to use until I've worked out the bugs with the VS2013 converter app.  it has been moved to VS2013, but won't debug, as referenced
    in another thread regarding problems with Microsoft.VisualBackPowerPacks(LineShaper) and forms.designer.
    I want to un-install VS2008.  Will I have any problems running the VS2008 ClickOnce app?  There are no changes to the database tables between the VS2008/Vs2013 versions.  I think all the VS2008 references are embedded in the click once published
    app.  Am I correct, and can I uninstall VS2008 Standard without any negative impact?
    Terry 01

    Hello Terry,
    If you have already upgraded the application from VS2008 to VS2013, and no reference is required from Visual Stuio 2008, I think you can remove VS2008 without problem.
    However, if there is no impact about the time to uninstal VS2008, I will recommend you jus keep it until you have finished all your job. We cannot be sure what will happen if you uninstalled VS2008, I don't konw details about your project.

  • Deploy to experimental instance deploys to wrong location after upgrade to Vs2013

    Hi,
    I have an extension that is deployed against Vs2005/Vs2008/Vs2010/Vs2012 and I am planning to extend this to deploy against Vs2013.
    After upgrading my solution to Vs2013 the Vs2012 VSIX is no longer deployed to the experimental instance during the build.
    It appears the upgrade has caused the deployment to target "%APPDATA%\...\12.0EXP\.." instead of "%APPDATA%\...\11.0EXP\.."
    Setup:
    1) Visual Studio 2012 Solution which generates a Visual Studio Package Extension.
    2) Upgrade the solution to VS2013
    3) Attempt to build.
            Build fails with Error:

    4) Goto project properties and un-check "Deploy VSIX content to experimental instance for debugging"
    5) Attempt to build.
            Build Succeeds.

    UPDATE:
    This is only occurring on my win7 machine.  I pulled my repo to a win8 VM and things are working as expected.  I'm not sure if this is a win7 issue or an error on my machine.  I think I'll attempt to re-install my Visual Studio instances and/or
    try on another win7 machine in the near future and see if I can narrow down the issue.  I will update again if I find any additional information.
    Thanks,
    Colin

    I just spent a half day trying to trouble shoot this problem assuming it was due to a change in the project settings. The error message is extremely misleading, and it would be nice if Microsoft could provide a fix for this issue!
        C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\
            VSSDK\Microsoft.VsSDK.targets(503,5):
            error VSSDK1031: Extension 'GUID of VSIX Package' could not be found.
            Please make sure the extension has been installed.
        Build FAILED.
    Looking at the block of code in Microsoft.VsSDK.targets was no help either:
        <!--Enable this extension via Extension Manager-->
        <EnableExtension
            VsixIdentifier="$(VsixID)"
            RootSuffix="$(VSSDKTargetPlatformRegRootSuffix)"
            FailIfNotInstalled="true" />
    It appears that an extension is only marked for deletion, and you must exit and re-start Visual Studio before the files are actually deleted. Take a look in your user profile %TEMP% folder:
        C:\Users\Xxxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.Exp
    Here you will find the extensions that are deployed to the experimental instance. During development I regularly delete the \Nn.Exp folders.

  • VS2008 CR10 or CR11 control not showing in toolbox

    Hi all,
    I'm very urgently writing an invoice program for one of our exernal sites, however, I have an invoice report already made in CR that I'd like to be able to use from VS2008 C#.
    For some reason the Repoert Viewer control is not in the toolbox. I have tried to add it, but in the list only the CR ActiveX object shows up - if I use that, then it has a width and height of 0 and is unusable. I assume this is the wrong control.
    I have reinstalled CR11, and CR10 twice and VS 2008 twice - it still refuses to show.
    How can I use the product that we have shelled out money for?
    I tried to phone BO support but was told it was going to cost me 130 quid.
    Edited by: dchurch on May 21, 2010 3:44 PM

    My colleague is also using this version on VS2008 and the control is on his toolbox and works fine, just not on mine for some reason.
    Not supported. Do not do this. Do not use it. You will run into issues sooner or later. Nothing I can do for you until you are on a supported version of CR for .NET 2008.

  • Deployment question moving from VS2012 to VS2013

    If you already have a working VS2012 production app deployed, and you upgrade the app to VS2013, what do you need to do to the deployment server to get it to work?  The upgraded app will use the same external database, so the database does not need
    to be recreated.  Is it as simple as upgrading the .net framework version to 4.5 or running the web platform installer again?  I'm asking
    before I try it and get into a pickle :)  Thanks

    I can't help you very much but be aware of this:
    We had a small Lightswitch application in VS2012 and tried to upgrade to VS2013. It was very hard, you got problems with js-files, project-files etc.
    We decided to rewrite the application (probably because it was a small application) from scratch in VS2013 environment.
    So, keep your VS2012 backups thoroughly for a long time, even if you think you have managed to upgrade successfully. 
    Regards Roger.
    PS. We are very content with the VS2013 version, having forms in distinct files etc. 

  • Open an old .vsmacros file in VS2013

    I have a macros file I created in VS2010 that I only have saved in the .vsmacros format however after moving systems and in the process upgrading to VS2013 I have found I cannot open the file. All I need is to extract the code so I can create a .vsix from
    the code, I do not need a macros extension to VS2013 they do not do what I need them to.
    I need to extract the code from the .vsmacros file.

    Hi BringBackMacros,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    According to your description, if you just want to extract the code from the .vsmacros file and then apply the code to the .vsix file. Generally I know that we can save macros as either binary or text files. Binary is the default format for macros and uses
    the .Vsmacros extension. And We can also save the macro as Unicode text (.txt).
    So if possible, I suggest you can try to save the macro as Unicode text (.txt) in VS2010 and then you could open the file outside of Visual Studio directly and extract the code.
    Reference:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/b4c73967(v=vs.100).aspx
    In addition, since the macros is involved to the Extensions tool
    Macros for Visual Studio 2013 ,
    this extension tool is out of support range of this forum now.
    If the above suggestion could not help you, I suggest you post this issue here:
    https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/d3fbf133-e51b-41a2-b86f-9560a96ff62b, click “Q AND A”, you will get better support there.

  • Crystal Reports regression to 10.5 from 11.5

    I'm a long time user that went with the full version of Crystal Report 11.5 to have use of the stand along viewer instead of merge modules with VS2005. Now, with VS2008/CR10.5 the viewer (for deployment) exists both for x86 and x64 platforms. This is great. And, appears to work good.
    I'm not having the same experience with VS2008 and CR2008 (v12.0). The problem is deploying on a 64 bit machine. Nothing seems to work. I get an runtime error message stating that permissions are insufficient or that the viewer was not installed correctly.
    So, given the fact that VS2008/CR2008-Basic now does what previous version should have done -- how do I migrate by 11.5 reports back to 10.5?
    Thanks,
    Eric

    There are a couple of things in here to consider;
    how do I migrate by 11.5 reports back to 10.5?
    Not sure that you'd want to. If the 11.5 reports use a feature that is not in CR 10.5, you will at minimum get weird reports, at worst the reports will throw error messages.
    Thus, I think the place to start is with troubleshooting the issue when you run CR 2008;
    make sure you have at least SP 1 installed;
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006555792009E/cr2008win_sp1.exe
    SP2 is here;
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009038092009E/cr2008win_sp2.exe
    make sure you have the correct runtime installed. see [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567] wiki for download links.
    check out [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10d5fa88-2013-2c10-c9a5-f11963607d4e] article re. running CR on 64 bit OS.
    If none of the above helps, let me know the exact error message / behavior, etc. on that 64 bit OS. Also, search these forums for 64 bit - there is a number of threads that may also point you in the right direction.

  • Cannot load source/destination schema - on a .BTM file

    I'm converting a project originally developed in VS2008/BTS 2009 to VS2013/BTS2013R2
    I get this error in my MAP file while building.
    Exception Caught: Cannot load source/destination schema: MyCompany.Schema.  Either the file/type does not exist, or if a project dependency exists, the dependent project is not built.
    Why is this? I've tried GACing, Re-GACing, reloading the source and target schemas etc etc. None of the commonly suggested solutions worked for this error. 
    We contacted MSFT support; the engineer after trying various approaches, finally recommended to change Build Action from BTSCompile to None for the .BTM file. Apparently, this fixed the build error. But I feel like this is just masking the real problem.
    What is the true remedy for the above error occuring in a .BTM file ? Thank you for any help. 
    -Perennial Newbie-

    Since you have a case opened with Microsoft, it would be better to get the root cause from them.
    We can speculate by any suggestion may not be the exact reason for your issue and the more appropriate/relevant solution
    would be from Microsoft support as they are already on top of your issue and would have taken some log/knew the complete background of your issue completely.

  • Using SqlServer Compact Toolbox

    Hi, there.
    I am starting to use VS2013 with SqlCe databases and the SqlServer Compact Toolbox.
    I have 2 SqlCe databases which I have updated from version 3.5 to 4.0.  In the toolbox, I can view/edit top 200 rows of both.  So, the data seems OK for both.  But I can only add Entity Data Model (EDMX) for one of them.  For the failing
    database, I see Row count for all tables -1, whereas for the other I get correct row count.  Something seems to be different and wrong with that database, but what?  The data is all there.
    Any comments will be appreciated.
    Gudni Sigurdsson

    Hi, Erik.
    You were right, of course.  One of my databases had a primary key defined, whereas the other did not.  After having defined a primary key for the "failing" database, I could add an EDMX for that one as well.  "Failing" means here only not
    being able to create an EDMX.
    I have used SqlCe databases quite a bit in the past, both for desktop computers and on handheld devices for data acquisition in the field.  When I decided to move from VS2008 and VS2010 to VS2013, I found that SqlCe was not supported.  Then, your
    SQL Server Compact Toolbox came to the rescue.
    Thanks a lot, Eric.

  • Best file location for VS2013 Windows Form applications on a stand alone PC (Windows 7) upgrading from VS2008 Standard?

    Hi and Help,
    I'm in the process of upgrading my VS2008.Standard Windows Forms apps to VS2013.Pro.  My concern is I've got the VS2008 apps scattered in folders all over my disc; this includes the VS2008 published apps. 
    All of the converted apps are being stored in one folder,
    VB13_AppSource, in their own sub-folders.  (I don't know if it makes any difference here, but all of these apps, except one which is a Sudoku screen app, use SQL2005.Express.  After I've made all the conversions, I'll upgrade SQL
    to the latest Express available down the road in several months.  Included will be an upgrade from my current SSMS to the latest SQL Server Management Studio. )
    What I'd like from you are recommendations and document locations on how to store VS2013 apps on my C drive.  Please note that I'm using Net 4.5.1.  Some of my thoughts are:
    Source folder for all applications
    Folder for all published apps
    Folder for Class Library(s?)
    Folder for Active SQL Databases
    Folder for Test SQL Databases
    Thanks for your help,

  • Solution upgrade from VS2008 to VS2013 problem

    Hello,
    Those days we are upgrading our main Visual Studio Solution, from Visual Studio 2008 Professional to Visual Studio 2013 Professional.
    Solution File is OK.
    Project files are OK (some references  needed to be modified).
    Projects are building and running OK.
    Setup projects NOT OK:
    Solution Explorer shows "(incompatible)";
    by expanding a setup project, it shows "The application is not installed".
    I have created a new setup project, using Install Shield limited, some problems:
    1) the build gives following error:
    Error    165    -6002: Error while attempting to run the custom build setup for objects.    ISEXP : error : -6002: Error while attempting to run the custom build setup for objects.
    However, the msi file is created.
    When I run it onto my development computer, the application starts with following error:
    Application Error
    Error - Error creating database object.
     Application will exit.
    OK   
    When the msi is run onto another computer, the application runs correctly.
    2) I don't see how I can reuse my Installer Classes developped with Visual Studio 2008.
    It seems it is not possible with Install Shield Limited :-(
    I can't imagine Microsoft didn't handle compatibility for Setup projects using Installer Classes developped in Visual Studio 2008 Professional with Visual Studio Studio 2013 Professional.
    Our customers and dealers are waiting our new release, so how could we provide them ?

    Hi,
    As
    Heath says, InstallShield is the third part product. If you have any problems with installing or using it you would best be served by contacting their support teams.
    Best Wishes!

  • Is there any way to automate converting just sln files from VS2008 to VS2013 ?

    My general problem is that we have a large number (approaching 300) of "local" sln files that have not been converted from VS2008 to VS2013 although their underlying vcproj files have (so they are now really vcxproj / vcxproj.filters pairs). 
    This happened because these projects were converted along with "global" sln files that also contain these projects and are in fact used to build product.  The "local" sln files are more geared toward development, so the idea has
    been to upgrade them over time as they need to be worked with in VS, which is still an option.  It should also be noted that these "local" upgrades must be done so that they do not redo the vcxproj files in any way or needed adaptations get
    zapped and must be redone by hand.
    So ... does anyone have a suggestion how to automate the conversion of these remaining sln files
    without affecting the connected proj files?  devenv /upgrade does not seem to have the ability to leave the proj files alone unless I am misreading.

    Hi A Jarrett,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I sugegst you will need to check if if
    these files can be created in VS2013. 
    Since the VS2008 is really old version, and generally we open an old project with the closed VS version, for example, I sugegst you could check whether you could open all files in VS2010, and then test it with VS2013.
    In addition, I suggest you can try to open the your project solution using File | Open Project... and then pass the path to the solution project file check this issue again.
    I find a similar thread about how to convert project from old version VS to VS2013, you can try the jsck's suggestion to check your issue.

  • CRViewer issue after upgrading to VS2008...

    Hello,
    I have an MFC program that uses the Crystal Report Viewer 11.0 using the RDC component which I recently upgraded to VS 2008. Everything was working perfectly until the upgrade, where we have one specific client (others working fine) using it that is having a strange problem.
    When they output the report to the window, the dialog is created, but randomly the ActiveX control does not appear to work (blank dialog), and the dialog member variable m_Viewer.get_IsBusy() call always returns true.   This only is when a report is output to the window (sending the report to the printer and exporting to a file is fine).   Again, this only happens randomly and not specific to an individual report - and sometimes when they run the same report it outputs to the window fine.
    I've tried reinstalling the Crystal msm files with no success. Not sure where to go on this - what kind of calls can I use with the viewer to track down any kind of error loading the active x control or find something that can give me an idea what's going on?  Why would it be stuck with get_IsBusy being true, and no error messages being displayed?  I'm suspecting windows dll issues or something blocking active x, but I dont know how I can track this.
    Side note: Just to see what would happen, I wanted to delete the active x control in the project and try to readd in VS2008, and regenerate the classes, but when I insert the active x control (or add a member variable) it doesnt give me the option of adding the classes that I was able to add before - how can I do that now?
    Thanks for any help,
    Greg

    I'm not sure about any kind of error trapping that woudl help here...
    I would like to see you on a supported version of CR though; CR 11.5 which you can download from here:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006008462008E/crxir2.zip
    Note your current keycode

  • Website upgraded to CR2008/VS2008, reptviewer-refresh hangs with a wait msg

    Crystal Report IX.2/VS2005 website app converted to CR2008/VS2008:  compiles clean, runs, but reportviewer-refresh hangs with  "Please wait while the document is being processed" message.  Can anybody suggest a solution or hypothesis?
    detail:
    I've converted a legacy Crystal IX.2/Visual Studio 2005 web-site application to Crystal 2007/Visual Studio 2008.  The compile is free of all errors and warnings.  The application operates correctly and the Crystal report-viewer screen comes up with the correct initial page of information.  But when I click a Next/Prev/First/ast icon, I get a stuck with a perpetual "Please wait while the document is being processed" message.  In addition, the time for the Reportviewer to appear with the first page of the report information is considerably slower (2X, 3X) than it is with the original VS2005/CR IX.2 website project.  We are using ODBC to Oracle 11g.
    I've searched for hits on the web and in this forum, and have tried various experiments with the registration, etc. - but nothing fixes this for me.  Can anybody suggest a hypothesis or solution?
    Thanks

    Re: "Need more info. Are you using ASP.NET or are you using classic ASP and the RDC report engine?
    Thanks Don,
    We're using ASP.Net.  The website project was originally written using Visual Studio 2005, Crystal Reports XI.2, and VB.Net. 
    The app is normally run on IIS 6.0, but I am executing the converted version in the Visual Studio 2008 debugger, i.e. without IIS.  The browser is IExplorer 8.0.
    I have copied and upgraded the project to Visual Studio 2008, Crystal Reports 2008, still VB.Net.  It compiles clean, without any error messages of warning.  When I run the app, the various report selection pages appear correctly, and the correct report-viewer initial page appears as well (although in  60 seconds versus 15 seconds originally.  The main problem is that the viewer does not refresh when I click the next or last icon, a wait message popup appears perpetually.  The data access is ODBC to Oracle 11g. 
    For comparion, below are the assembly sections of the web.config file from both the original and upgraded versions of the project.  If there is any more information that would be helpful, I can post or email it.  Thanks for looking into this,
    Robert Brandon, Raytheon
