CR Xi Export dlls not working

[Former Member]

We are in the middle of updating our reports from version 8.5 to Xi (Xi because no later version are compatible with our CRM).

I want to export a report to Excel 8 Extended.  This option is not available in Xi. However it is in version 8.5

System info : Windows 7 or 8 professional, Xi Professional - 32 bit

I have seem many posts about this issue and have tried a myriad of different approaches, all to no avail.

I have:

• renamed all occurances of crxf_xls.dll to OLD-crxf_xls.dll
• copied u2fxlsdll to c:\windows\system32, and to the folder where the CR Xi executable lives
• Uninstalled and reinstalled CR Xi
• tried to register u2fxlsdll (yes, I know only com objects need to be registered)
• searched for registry (regedit) for this dll (not found)

What do I need to try next?

Both CR XI and CR 8.5 are out of support - a long time ago now. I only have three suggestions for you:

1) Update your CR XI install to CR XI R2. See this blog on how to.

2) Post your query to the SAP Crystal Reports Design SCN Space

3) See if a bit of searching comes up with anything for you (Search box in top right corner.).
