Error while trying to install ActivewerViewer

[Former Member]

Hi!

When installing ActivexViewer we are facing problems with the register.

C:\Program Files\Seagate Software\Viewers\ActiveXViewer

The installer can't register those dlls

crviewer.dll

swebrs.dll

xqviewer.dll

and all the other dlls related to this installation.

Question

What version of Crystal Reports will give us a successfully installation of ActivexViewer?

The O.S. we are using is Windows 8.

The programming language we are currently using is Visual Basic 6.

Thank you.

I moved your post to the SAP Crystal Reports - Legacy SDKs SCN Space.

Thing to consider is that CR version 8 released about 16+ years ago when WIN 8 was not even a dream / nightmare in Bill's life...

E.g.; this will never, ever work / not supported.

Your options:

Update your app to .NET using the CR SDK for .NET

Do not deploy your current app to WIN 8

Update your app to CR XI R2 (11.5.x). With CR XI R2 you can go all the way up to Win 7 / WIN 2003 as supported OS. See this wiki for more info.
