[RESOLVED] Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Hi Randem,

I have include the Crystal Merge Module for CRXI in my app thanks to your advice in the past.:thumb:

I want to know if my app is supposed to run Crystal Reports without the actual Crystal being installed on the P.C, since I have the merge module. At the moment it doesn't work until I install Crystal on each P.C.

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

If that is the case you probably aren't installing the merge modules... That is what they are for. You need to show exactly how you are deploying them.

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

You can not just install Crystal Reports on other systems just to get your reporting to function correctly. This is what the merge modules are for, redistributing. Its a licensing violation to install CR onmore then one system unless you purchase multiple licenses of CR.

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Hi Guys,

I am distributing the Merge Module, this is what I have in my Script, i'm using InnoSetup:

Code:

[Files] Source: c:\program files\randem systems\**********\********** 7.0\vb_dcom_mdac_jet_autosetup.exe; DestDir: {tmp}; Flags: deleteafterinstall ignoreversion nocompression; Source: e:\Downloads\Crystal Merge Module\CRXI_RDC_ReDistribution\CRXI_RDC_Redistribution.msi; DestDir: {tmp}; Flags: nocompression ignoreversion deleteafterinstall;

Code:

[Run] Filename: {tmp}\VB_DCOM_MDAC_JET_AutoSetup.exe; Parameters: /NORESTART /VERYSILENT; WorkingDir: {tmp}; Flags: skipifdoesntexist; Tasks: AutoOSUpdater Filename: msiexec.exe; Parameters: /package {tmp}\CRXI_RDC_Redistribution.msi /passive; WorkingDir: {tmp}; Flags: skipifdoesntexist

I get the following Error:

Code:

Run-time error '339' Component 'crviewer.dll' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.

I tried registering it as follows and registering the dll was successful, but I still get the error.

Code:

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\crystalreportviewers115\ActiveXControls\CRViewer.dll"

please help again.:wave:

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Search your computer to see if you have this file - msiexec.exe

or better yet go to Start->Run then type msiexec.exe into the box and run it to see what comes up.

If this file is not on your machine then you cannot run msi files.

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

To see if you did install the merge modules, look in the registry for this key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

I just installed one of my apps with the merge modules and it did not work. I go the message that crviewr.dll was missing or invalid. This error is correct for I am deploying a CR 8.5 app with the CR XI merge modules. However if I deploy the CR 8.5 Installation with my app it works. This could possibly be your issue. Look in your references to see exactly which version you are using.

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Hi Randem,

Thanks for the help. I have checked the registry and it contains:

Code:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5

I am using CRXI and the PC's do have the msiexec.exe on them. I am confused.:confused:
Nov 28th, 2007, 01:49 AM
randem

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Ok, did you check the references and components to see what version they are?
Do you have another CR installed on your development machine?
When you checked the registry was it on the target machine?
Nov 28th, 2007, 02:05 AM

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Yes I did check my references and components. All are cersion XI. I have only CR XI installed on my machine and yes, I checked the target machine registry. please help me.

Did you run your project through Inno Script?
Please do and post the results. We can work from there.

OK, One problem is that I see no CR references or components listed so I don't know how you are using CR.

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

I don't know which references to include in the script. U use the reportviewer mostly. I have attached a screenshot of the references I use. For components, I use the Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Library 11. Please fix my script for me.

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

You don't need to include any references in the script they will automatically be included. Post you vbp file.

Did you update?

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

As I look at your previous script you did not include your rpt files and that was probably what your error was from (aside from deploying other useless files).

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Hi Randem,
my boss just purchased ********** for me. I am running it right now. But it may take me a while bcos I still have to get familiar with what goes in the unsafe.fil and what should go in a safe folder and stuff.

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Hi Randem,
quick question. Where in ********** do I specify the Crystal Merge module information. Those rpt files I did yesterday bcos the designer reports of mine where displaying weird text so I changed my method. I will deploy them now.

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Ok I selected the added the merge module tpl file under templates. But shouldn't inno show the merge module info under tasks and files etc. How do I get these into my script in inno:

Code:

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Hi again,

would this be a problem Randem:

Code:

; Unknown Component (Possibly not registered) - crviewer.dll - 11.0 - (crviewer.dll)

Why would inno say that.
Nov 28th, 2007, 06:11 AM
randem

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Please don't confuse the two when referring to the programs. Inno Setup is commonly referred to as Inno, Inno Script is a different program...

Why would you think the merge modules should show under [Tasks]?

Are you just copying things or running your app thru Inno Script????

Please post the whole script... I can't tell what you are doing...

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Hi randem,

I mean, after I run ********** my script looks the same as the one u posted above. However, I don have this under tasks:

Code:

Name: CRInstallation; Description: Install Crystal Reports Runtime Files; GroupDescription: Install CR Runtime Files:

and I dont have this under run in **********:

Code:

Source: e:\server data\randem\develop\support\cr merge module installation\version xi\rdc\out\crxi_rdc_redistribution.mm\msi\crxi_rdc_redistribution.msi; DestDir: {tmp}; Flags: deleteafterinstall ignoreversion nocompression; Tasks: CRInstallation

How do I specify in ********** where the merge modules are. Do I have to put the path in in the search path.

Or do I have to add these manually to my script after it has been generated by **********. Sorry, but i am confused. This is the last issue I have, thereafter I can test it and hopefully it works.

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

ok randem, i read in the help file to point the tpl file to the folder where the merge module is on my system. I've done that, but it still doesn't appear in my script. Ok then, i think u should sleep, it's very late there.:eek: .

I will try to figure it out. Thanks so much for your help. it's greatly appreciated.

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

You don't point the .tpl file anywhere You add the msi file to your script using "Add Files" and you add the Template using "Templates" If you ever post you script things would go a lot smoother...

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

sorry Randem.:cry:

I have pointed the template to where my merge module is. should this appear under tasks in my script:

Code:

and this under run:

Code:

Filename: msiexec.exe; Parameters: /package {tmp}\CRXI_RDC_Redistribution.msi /passive; WorkingDir: {tmp}; Flags: skipifdoesntexist

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Ok, that looks good. Just a few things. You did not have the CR XI template included. That is where the [Run] section comes from for the CR file.

Also you are installing the reports into your app folder in a folder named Reports. Is that where your app will be looking for them or will they be looked for in the app folder. If they will be looked for in the app folder you cannot use the "Add Folder" tab to add the files you must use the "Add Files" tab to the rpt files. The same goes for your Icons...

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

this is what's in my CR XI RDC Redistribution.tpl:

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Ok, there are several thing you can do and I will not repeat them again...

1 - Remove the crviewer.dll from the unsafe file, then re-run so that this file gets added to your script for deployment.

2 - Find out why this file does not appear to be registered on your machine. You can use Inno Script for this also. Go to View->Registered Shared Files then search for crviewer.dll to see if it exist.

3 - Go to the location where the crviewer.dll file exist then register it to attempt to resolve the registration issue.

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

One more thing...

4 - Open your VBP in notepad and remove the crviewer.dll reference then open the app in VB and re-add it. It would seem that your CSLID may have changed...

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Ok, so go to the location of the crviewer.dll file and attempt to register it.

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Also why on earth are you using MDAC 2.1 in your application?

and you can delete all those .tmp files from your development folder...

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Hi Randem,

When I look at my references in VB, the Crystal ActiveX ReportViewer Library 11.0 is there twice. I am emailing mylatest vbp file to you now. Please have a look. One of the I am able to unclick and the other says "Can't remove control or reference in use".

Why does stupid vb have the location for references at the bottom in a label and it isn't possible to view the entire location when it is quite long.:confused:

Getting back to my problem, when I ma in references and i give priority to the crystal library that is removable ********** shows the reference in the script without any "component not registered"

But if I give priority to the one that is unremovable, then ********** shows this in the script(the original issue):

Code:

; Unknown Component (Possibly not registered) - crviewer.dll - 11.0 - (crviewer.dll)

please, please help.

Try using this vbp in your project...

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Also check you computer. I would believe you might have two files there. One in crviewer.dll

c:\windows\system32

and one in

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\crystalreportviewers11\ActiveXControls\

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Randem, I think the problem is coming in when I go to components and add the crystal activex report viewer library 11.0. I need this to use the reportviewer component on my forms.

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

yse, that's it. Once I add the component then it appears twice in references. what should i do.:confused:

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Did you use the vbp I posted????

Stay on track...

Did you check like I asked in Post #54

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

yes i did randem. but the vbp file you posted gives errors because the viewer component dissapears from the forms. I've searched my c drive. I only have 1 of the dll's in:

Code:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\crystalreportviewers11\ActiveXControls
Nov 29th, 2007, 02:15 AM

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

this is the error in the form log files to be more specific:

Code:

Line 339: Class CrystalActiveXReportViewerLib11Ctl.CrystalActiveXReportViewer of control Cryst was not a loaded control class.

that's because the component is not ticked.

Re: Question for Randem about Crystal Merge Module

Well, in the vbp you sent me the Crviewer.dll is listed as a reference and a component which is to say the least strange. Now is the crviewer.dll registered?
How can you put a dll on a form????

Check to see if you have a crviewer.ocx on your system.
