Crystal Reports XI R2 support for Windows 7

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a VB6 application with Crystal Reports XI R2 SP4. I read the "Crystal Reports v. 9.1 to 12.x VS .NET Runtime Distribution & Supported Operating Systems" topic and it says that I need the SP6 to support Windows 7 installation, but the download link points to the SP4 installation file instead of the SP6 installation file. Where can I get the SP6 runtime installation file?

Regards,

Many thanks for pointing that out.

I'll fix that as soon as I fire off this post. The RDC SP 6 runtime file URLs is;

https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100000634032010E/crxir2sp6_rdc_mm.zip

Note that the wiki you referenced is for .NET and even if the links were correct, the runtime files would be of no use to you as you are using the RDC (just and FYI).

For the RDC, the correct wiki is:

https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsReportDesignerComponentRuntimeDistribution-Versionspre8.0.xto12.0

(apparently I have to fix that link too... oops.)

Oh, one more thing. All downloads can be found on the following downloads page:

Again, just an FYI.

Hi Ludek,

Many thanks for your correction about the runtime files.

You sent me the link for download the MSM files but I need the .msi file. Where can I download this file?

I know the "Business Objects Support Software Downloads" page, but the last SP is the SP4. Its published date is previous to the windows 7 release date. The published date of the last patch is older than the W7 too.

There is no MSI file for the RDC - never was, never will be - for any version of the RDC runtime. You will have to create one your self.

Hi Ludek,

You are right, there is no MSI file for the RDC but I has an EXE file (downloaded from internet) to deploy the Crystal Report Runtime in our customers. I'd like to know if there is some setup file that includes the SP6.

Thanks and regards,

MARIO

No there is not. Just the MSM.
