Crystal Reports 2008

I start the installation of Crystal Reports 2008 and do select - identical to the previous installation - "English" as the language for the installation routine.

I continue from the Welcome screen...

and accept the license agreement.

Now I need to provide the license key...

And similar to the installation of BusinessObjects Edge I can then select the Language Packs for Crystal Reports.

I am selecting the Installation Type "Custom" and...

... do select all components of Crystal Reports 2008.

In the next screen I have the option to leverage the web update service or to disable it and...

Then in the last screen the actual installation based on the selections I did will start.

After the installation process is finished you will see this screen.

After the Welcome screen...
