Crystal Report redistributable for Windows Server 2008? - An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime

Question

First at all, thanks everyone.

What do I need to get work crystal report on windows server 2008?

Or how can I get work rpt files (loaded by code and flush it to browser) on a website (framework 3.5/4.0) running on a windows server 2008 ?

I mean, I load some rpt files (built them on crystal report 2008) and then using crystal object to export the file to xls/pdf, change the headers, make a flush to the browser and it works, this on windows server 2003/Seven/XP but the site doesn't work on Windows server 2008, I guess that I need a redistributable, but, which one ?

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance.

This was the error I got:

An error has occurred while attemting to load the Crystal Reports runtime. Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient, or the Crystal Rerports runtime is not installed correctly. Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedis*.msi) containing the correct version of the Crystal Reports Runtime (x86,x64x,Itanium) required.

Answer 1

What type of Windows Server edition is it: 32-bit or 64-bit? I guess, Windows Server 2008 is available in 64-bit only. This link contains a 32-bit installer and a 64-bit installer. You can scroll down the page to see more.

Answer 2

To solve or kind of, this issue (if you have it) try setting the "Enable 32-bit Applications" to TRUE after just installed the CRRedistributable name it as "CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.exe" (I'm not pretty sure, but this one comes in a compressed file).

Right now I don't have the file in some server, but as soon as I can, I will leave a link here.

While you're installing the Redistributable, you will be warned about a dll (something about "print"), just ignore it, I suppose it's because the server doesn't have the spoolsv service running, but thats just my guess.

And this is the error I just got before:

Server Error in '/' Application.
