Hello,
When I try to install the runtime file (CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi) for crystal report 2008, I'm asked for a product key, when I leave that section blank and try to continue with the installation, comment the installation freezes. Can you please help me solve this problem. I'm using crystal 2008 stanalone version with Visual Studio 2010 to access the reports.
Thanks,
Victor
Thread moved to the .NET - SAP Crystal Reports forum.
CR 2008 is not supported in VS2010. Only [CRVS2010|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/crystalreports-dotnet] is.

I am including CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi in my distribution CD for users to install in order to run the report created with Crystal Report 2008 with the application developed with VS2010 (VB.NET). Is CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi the wrong file to give them to install to view the report? I'm not sure why I'm getting the product key.
As Ludek said, it should not prompt, but I have never tried including the msi in a package. You can try using the merge modules instead. Also note that using CR 2008 assemblies with VS 2010 is not supported so if you run into any issues with the project you will essentially be on your own.

I am referencing:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine 12.0.2000.0
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework 12.0.1100.0
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.InfoStore 12.0.1100.0
CrystalDecisions.ReportSource 12.0.2000.0
CrystalDecisions.Shared 12.0.2000.0
CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms 12.0.2000.0
Users will install the runtime files before the application, I don't think this would have any impact on the request for the product key.
Thanks,

I decided to use VS2008 instead of VS2010 to deploy my project with CR2008. I included CR2008 as a prerequisite for the installaion but when trying to complile the setup project I receive the 3 errors below. Any idea what is causing these errors? CR2008 was set to be installed from the application's folder.
Error 3 The install location for prerequisites has not been set to 'component vendor's web site' and the file 'CrystalReports 12.0\CRRuntime_12_2_mlb.msi' in item 'Crystal Reports 2008' can not be located on disk. See Help for more information. C:\Users\victor.m.charles\Documents\Visual Studio 2008

Hi Victor,
Just guessing here but I think you may be using different version of both CR 2008 ad the runtime files. You are using the original release and then maybe using SP 2 but it's not clear..
Start off with your DEV PC. Un-install what ever versions you do have and start with a full build of SP 3:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009989492010E/cr2008_sp3_fullbuild.zip
Then apply Fix Pack 3.5:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006341722011E/cr2008fp35.exe
Then which ever one you have decided to distribute here are the links for the redist packages:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006341772011E/cr2008fp35_redist.zip
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006341742011E/cr2008fp35_mm.zip
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006335582011E/cr2008fp35_clickonce.zip
You may also want to shorten your app PATH location. I've seen issues where if the path is too long it can cause problems.
Thank you
Don
