Crystal Reports ocx problem 1

[azrobert]

I have an application that i have developed in vb6 in which I am using the included crystal reports ver 4.6. when installing on a win 98 machine i get a problem registering cryst32.ocx and msado.tlb. has any one run into this before ?

any suggestions are greatly appreciated

 

[azrobert]

I tried teh install on an xp machine and it only errors on the msado.ocx but seems to run fine ??????

Crystal32.ocx requires a lot of other dependent files like implode.dll etc., which u can find in the crystal reports documentation. Make sure u include all those files in to the setup, and make sure all those are registerd prior to the crystal32.ocx.

You can also conduct a small test by registering crystal32.ocx in a system (using regsvr32) without crystal reports, it will throw the same error. But if u try registering after u register the support dlls, it will register fine.

if u need a complete list of files needed(3 or 4 in no, i'll get it to u, but i am supposed to go to my office to get the list. All the Best

that would be a great help..... I am stumped so far. I used the P & D to install and you would think it would pick up all the files needed

 

[PraveenMenon]

These are the required files.. Pls check the Runtme file requirements help in your Crystal Reports Installation.Also check the script generated by the PDW and ensure these files are registered prior to the regsitration of the Crystal32.ocx.

CRPE32.DLL \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (NT only) Interface to the Crystal Report Engine
MSVCRT20.DLL \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (NT only) Microsoft Foundation Class Runtime Library
CRPAIG32.DLL \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (NT only) Crystal Reports text object support
CTL3D32.DLL* \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (NT only) Version 2 of the 3 D control implementation
IMPLODE.DLL \WINDOWS\SYSTEM or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (NT only) Compression Library All the Best

All of the required files are there and crystl32.ocx even fails on manual registration... I get an error: load library ("crystl32.ocx&quot failed get last error returned 0x00000485

Robert,

get a system where there is no crystalreports installed. Take these files and register them in this system in order.

CRPE32.DLL
CRPAIG32.DLL
IMPLODE.DLL
crystl32.ocx

Is the registration a success? All the Best

Got a win 98 (test Machine) sitting right here.... I am reloading windows 98 to ensure i havea clean start on it

will try this as soon as it is done.....

Thanks for sticking with me.....
this is driving me nutts!
the program runs beautifuly on my machine and except for the reporting part runs great on the 98 machine

ps if it matters i have xp on teh devalopment machine and 98 on the target machines

 

[azrobert]

got an error message on the first one....

I think i am starting to figure out what is happening...

there was a version of crystal enterprise 8.0 on this machine and i think it placed new dll files here....

the version of CRPE32.DLL is 8.5.0.217

not sure whre to turn now........

I am using crystal 4.6

I have been facing the same problem before, when the message shows, just click ignore and let it install completely into system first.

After that, I just install the Crystal Report 8.5 into the corresponding PC and then uninstall it again, and the crystl32.ocx will be registered into the system and you can use the program already.

Good luck.

 

[azrobert]

problem is I don't have 8.5

it was on this machine at one time

Dont Install CrystalReports.. it may solve the problem, but wont give u enuf information.. i wud suggest u try shuffling the order of registering the Dlls.. All the Best
