Randem Systems Support Board

Hello,
 
The installation works now on XP and on Vista. Thank you very much for your help.
 
I noticed something that might be important for you, on the destination PC, I had some older Crystal report files. For example, crqe.dll was dated 2002, while on your MSI file, crqe.dll is dated from 2005. This mixture was maybe a part of the problem?
 
Best regards, and again thank you.
Marc

Ok, that looks good. I have seen this work. Include crviewer.dll in your script and let it be registered.
 
Hint: Just remove the file from the unsafe file list and recreate your script.

I attempt to register it because I suspected it could help me but I was wrong.
 
Therefore, the situation is now as follow:
 
I removed all CR files, including unicows.dll and cr9deploy.reg.  
 
I have the following message on vista and on XP when I try to run a report from my app:  
Runtime ERROR 429 ActiveX Component can't create object.
 
this is the new script

Why did you attempt to register craxdrt9.dll?  
Is your Vista up to date on Custom Windows Updates?

I removed all CR files, including unicows.dll and cr9deploy.reg.
 
Now I have the following message on vista when I try to run a report from my app:
Runtime ERROR 429 ActiveX Component can't create object.
 
I tryed to register manually with regsvr32 the file craxdrt9.dll and then I got the message when I try to run a report from my application.
 
Faulting application TestAPP2.exe, version 2.1.0.5, time stamp 0x47d89dc9, faulting module crqe.dll, version 9.2.1.1839, time stamp 0x431e9b4e, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x000822c9, process id 0xf18, application start time 0x01c89b29cb7163e7.

You need to remove ALL CR files and deploy the Merge module or you are asking for trouble.
 
Just put those CR files in your script in the Unsafe file list and they will automatically be removed. Or better yet all the dll's in the CR folder.

Hi,
I have this problem both on Vista and on XP. The example shown here comes from XP.
 
here is the script. I have included CR 9 MSI, but I did not remove any crystal report file detected by innoscript.

Please post your script. Are you getting this error message on Vista?

Dear all, I used to install my VB6 application with Crystal report 9 using MS Installer.. Working fine on XP but not on vista. Therefore I switched to Innoscript. The installation works now very fine, but at runtime, I have an error message like. Application failure app.exe, version 2.1, module failing crqe.dll, version 9.2.1.1839, adress of failure 0x000822c9. I suppose that the problem is with CR9. In innoscript, I use the cr9 merge module msi available on randem site. I must say I am a bit lost, and I would really appreciate some help.
Thank you,
Marc
