Hello Everybody,

i know this is an old threat, but I am facing exactly the same error when installing XI 3.1 SP3 on WIN 2003 Server.

If anybody has a clue or even solved that problem, please help me!

Thanks!

When you attempt to install BusinessObjects XI 3.1 SP3 and at the point where the DLLS attempt to register, you may receive the following error:

Error 1904. Module C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\AFDPLUGIN.DLL failed to register.

When you click Ignore, a host of other DLLS that failed will also appear.

When you examine the System Event log in the Event Viewer, you may see the errors relating to VC80.CRT where a referenced assembly cannot be found.

The issue is that you do not have the latest Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update installed where it creates a manifest in C:\Windows\WinSXS.

The link to the update is http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=766a6af7-ec73-40ff-b072-9112bab119c2&dis...

After you install this update, the SP3 update for BO XI 3.1 will be successful.

Is this XP that you are installing on?
