Crystal Reports 2008 - Error 1904 - DLLs will not register

Former Member
0 Kudos

I have just tried to install Crystal Reports 2008 on a PC which is running on XP Professional 2002 (Service Pack 3) and none of the DDLs will register. I have administrator privileges on the local PC.

I could possibly try to register the DLLs manually but I don't understand why they won't register automatically.

I would really appreciate some assistance with this.

Kind regards, Leeanne

I received the following errors....

if CR dll's will not register it's beacuse of missing dependencies. Run Dependency walker on those dll's reported and then add them in from Microsoft's downloads etc.

i'm getting this same error as well - loads of 1904 Errors, file failed to register - surely this is not normal for an installation. Can SAP provide a proper solution or explanation to this. I haven't got time to go throuh and check all thesefiles.

Install .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0 and then any patches Windows has for them.

Install the C++ runtime distribution from Microsoft, search MS's site for it, they have multiple links for each OS.

Download the latest Microsoft installer, you can go to MS's web site to get it.

Check with your IT department to make sure they have not pushed out a "modified" administrator Profile to your PC. Open up regedit.exe and confirm you can change any key in Current User and Software and anything. Be sure to copy the original so you can right the value back and the usual warnings about modifying the registry.

Download CR 2008 SP1 full build: https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006555792009E/cr2008win_sp1.exe ( requires and un-install of existing CR 2008 if any are on your PC )

Before running CR 2008 Install SP 3: https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe

You could also try Disabling DEP, right click on My Computer, Properties, Advanced tab and Data Execution Prevention and make sure it's set to windows Processes only. Requires a re-boot if changed.

Disable any and all anti-virus and local firewalls, copy everything local and disconnect your network cable so you don't get anything nasty and try again.

If none of the above works then try someone elses computer, your system may be beyond repairing and could require an FDISK and starting all over.

Thank you

Hi Don

I've now started getting these errors on my machine since upgrading my SBO to 8.8 PL13.

I've had CR 2008 Basic installed on my laptop and it's been fine, I was on SBO 2007A SP01 PL09 before the upgrade.

After my SBO upgrade I tried to edit an AR Invoice layout and got an error and realised something was wrong with my CR install, various forums later I'm still none the wiser so decided to uninstall and then re-install Crystal.

Frustratingly, I'm now getting all these 1904 errors? And I cannot re-install Crystal Reports

I have .NET 1.1 and 2.0 installed and all my windows updates are up to date

I have C++ runtime distribution installed

I can change my regedit settings

I'm assuming my machine is ok since I had it loaded before?

I have downloaded both of your links but canu2019t get anywhere with them, as it falls over trying to install

Are there any other suggestions or things I could try?

Many thanks

Hayden

Well that's impossible to read.

My gut instinct is that either you do not have administrative rights to modify the registry or the registry is corrupt.

Who wonders if there are issues installing other applications which register DLLs...
