Where sould i install the CR 2008 runtime that placed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\CrystalReports10_5. I was trying so hard to find this damn MSI at the BO site. This was driving me nuts.Ĭananyone tell me if the CR2008 runtime is 圆4 compliant? I kow that CR2008 SP0 addressed the issue, but I cannot find out if the runtime was also fixed.

Even though the title of the software has "SQL Server" in the name, you can use client-side reports (*.rdlc instead of *.rdl) and you do not actually have to have SQL Server installed. I, too, will be switching to using SSRS in the future. This would probably have cost me tons of time. Again, glad to see the source for the runtime, but don't get caught up with a few URL links versus the functions and liberty the product can do. I don't get Johnny's comment about Siemens? That makes no sense? Business Objects which acquired Crystal Decisions years ago is now an SAP Company. On one hand I agree that the informations is somewhat difficult to access, does that mean I would stay away from CR? No way, this product is so solid and so robust nothing compares to it on the market. The run time versions are somewhat confusing, this post helps out. I also had trouble with Crystal Reports' website.
Thanks, this was becoming difficult to track down. What do I need to do once I install the new version of Crystal into the new server? Do I need to recompile my existing reports to the new Crystal? Also, do you know if Crystal 2008 would work on a 64-bit server? I heard there are some issues with that? I a new at this project was dumped on me just recently? Any help would be truly appreciated. I am trying to deploy to new server Crystal Reports server 2008, we currently have CR 11.

I've spent weeks trying to get through to BO to find out how to distribute the runtime.Īmazed and relieved that the answer could be so simple. I will work with other solutions rather than CR.

Microsoft said that you can ask for support with the license of VS 2008, but it's not true.

It is a kind of fortress only accesible if you are able to pay for the full versions. This is my first experience with Crystal Reports and BO website is less than nothing. It is incredible that the solution of my 1 month problem is right there, just some clicks away! Thank you very much Guy! I do agree with Johnny. "full" version of CR 2008 (version 12). This is very useful information.Ĭannot thank you enough! Just made my day! We've been trying to figure this out for 2 months! Thank you very much for posting this, saved me a lot of time! I've been trying to deploy a simple Crystal project for weeks with no success until I read this blog.
This is after 3 years experience with the product. To anyone not already using but considering Crystal.Staying far far away from them is the best advice I can offer as a Programmer and Supporter of an application that unfortunately uses Crystal. Crystal lost 10% of their market to SSRS last year, and will hopefully continue their decline to reap some consequences from their deplorable business practices. (Not cheap either.)Ĭrystal seems content to demand expensive Enterprise licensing to get anywhere near the level of basic functionality they used to provide right out of the box with their VB6 Winforms product.It is a rare occurrence when a vendor, particularly a software vendor, pulls functionality they used to provide in the strategy of trying to extort more money out of their customer base.Īs SQL Server Reporting Services is becoming a viable alternative, Business Objects (now Seimens) is providing ample incentive for suffering IT staffers to switch as SOON AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. Their site's purpose would seem to be to induce frustration until a company is forced to pay them for Customer Support incidences. It is virtually impossible to find any needed files on their website. It is unfortunate that Crystal is so abysmal in providing accessible support for their product.
