Hello,

What versions of Crystal Report are supported on Windows Server 2008 R2?

I tried to deploy a web application built using visual studio 2008 and the basic crystal report v10 that ships with it on a win2k8 R2 server and i get the following error whenever i try to run a report:

Error in file ....

Failed to create the Crystal Query Engine

I have it working correctly on a win2k3 server, and my development machine which is windows 7 64-bit.

Thank you

Hello -

Solution 1:

There may be mismatched Crystal report DLLs in the system32 directory.

Rename the CRPE32.DLL file in the C:\Windows\System32 directory to CRPE32.DLL.OLD and reinstall the program. A new CRPE32.DLL file will be installed that should match all the other dll versions.

Solution 2:

You may have Crystal Reports installed and the dll needs to be re-registered.

1. Quit Crystal Reports.

2. On the Windows taskbar, click the 'Start' button and then click 'Run'.

3. Type: 'regsvr32 "C:\Windows\System32\crqe.dll"'.

4. Click 'OK'.

A message appears indicating the file is successfully registered. If the file does not register correctly, try solutions 2.

Note:

You may need to locate the crqe.dll if it is not in the c:\windows\system32 direcotry. In this case, on the Windows taskbar, click the 'Start' button > Find (or Search) > Files and Folders. Enter crqe.dll and perform search. Note the location and substitue the path to register this file.

Hey thanks Kenneth,

I got the issue resolved. I was using 64-bit instead of 32 and there were a few permissions that I needed to grant. For anyone out there with the same problem, you can review the hell I went through on this thread:
