Hi Zhiele,

Itu2019s not recommended to install the runtimes of two different versions of crystal reports on one machine.

Dll's might clash and other issue's may occur.

Hi, Zhiele;

Our runtime versions are designed to run side-by-side. As long as you install the runtime files using our merge modules or MSI installs, there should be no problems with running 2 versions on the same server. On your development system is another story, and you will want to ensure that you are developing in .NET with only the version of Crystal Reports that you want to use for that project installed.

The Visual Studio Integration Manager(https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009817022008E/vs_integration_mgr.exe) can help to ensure you are using the correct version on your Development computer.

Hi Jonathan,

If I install CRRedist2008_x86.msi in our server, this will not overwrite the existing runtime version of Crystal which is CR 9.1.5?

In our test server I run CRRedist2008_x86.msi and it works fine. But my problem now If run the other application having Cr version 9.1.5, it gives me an error and looking for assembly crystal version 9.1.5. Before, it runs ok prior the installation of CRRedist2008_x86.msi but after that there is an error.

I want to try it again, but how will I install the merge module or msi for version 9.1.5. As I looked at the list of crystal version:

[Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET Runtime Distribution - Versions 9.1 to 12.0 |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/bobj/crystalReportsforVisualStudio.NETRuntimeDistribution-Versions9.1to12.0]

I dont know how to run

Crystal_Database_Access2003.msm, Crystal_Database_Access2003_enu.msm, Crystal_Managed2003.msm, Crystal_regwiz2003.msm

thanks,

Zhiele

Hi, Zhiele;

That is correct, they will not interfere with each other, if installed correctly. You need to take the merge modules, the .MSM files, and build a setup with them, then install that to the client system.

Instructions for how to build a setup can be found here:

Be sure to read the correct section for your version of Crystal Reports.

Best Regards,

Jonathan
