CR on Win2008Server\64 bit

[Former Member]

We have a web app that is developed in VS2005 and that references the 10.0.33000 version of the Crystal Reports dlls.

We currently deploy to Win2003Server (IIS6\32bit) web servers and everything works great. But we are now trying to deploy to a Win2008Server (IIS7\64bit) web server and we are getting the load report failed error when trying to view a report.

We've tried some different things to make this work but before we spend anymore time on this, can anyone tell me if this configuration will work (CR v10.0.3300 on a Win2008Server\IIS7\64bit web server)?

Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Hi,

It is strange that VS 2005 is running with CR 10 because VS 2005 is not compatible with Cr 10.

Or do you mean CR 10.2 which comes with VS 2005.

As you are trying to deploy your application on 64bit OS, you need the runtimes for 64 bit OS.

End if you are using CR 10 then we do not have the runtimes for 64 bit OS.

Hi Marty,

The 10.0.3300 runtimes are not supported with VS.NET 2005. If you are determined to make it work then you will have to try building the application as x86 only. This can be set in the build options where you will see it state AnyCPU.

You may want to change to the 10.2 runtimes that are for the bundled version of CR for .NET 2005 and there are 64 bit runtimes for that.

NOTE: Currently none of our products are supported/tested on Windows 2008 as far as I know.

Thank you for your feedback.

After trying multiple combinations of Crystal Report runtime versions and different target CPUs, we were finally able to make this work by building our VS2005 projects to target "AnyCPU" and then installing the x86 10.2 version (from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\CrystalReports\CRRedist2005_x86.msi).

Once we did that, we were then able to load reports on our 64bit Windows 2008 server.

Thanks.

Marty
