Crystal Reports 2008 SP3

[Former Member]

I need the service pack 3 download.  I tried from this link returned in a Google search.  http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Crystal+Reports+2008+-+Version+and+Download+information+fo...   

The very first time I clicked on the link for SP3 the download started but stopped prematurely. Now, when I try, I get a secure connection failure.

Hi Brian,

I am able to download Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 using

https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe

from the below page

http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Crystal+Reports+2008+-+Version+and+Download+information+fo...

I think it might be issue with your network or appropriate downloading rights for the user.

Once try with Administrator User Account.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks Praveen,

I tried the previous links and all would start downloading and then bail at different points. Your link was the first to finish all the way through although I got concerned as the DL started at a fast 3.3/MBs and then throttled down to 250KBs at around the 200mb mark.

Unfortunately, when I attempted to install SP3, it gives me an error " The update installation cannot proceed because either the target product is missing or is not the correct version for this update. Verify that the product to be updated exists on your system and you have the correct path."

It says that SP3 should not be incremental.

Hi Brian,

If you have S-UserId then you can download Crystal Reports 2008 SP 3 from the link as Shahnawaz suggested.

Also refer the document http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-27917

You mentioned that an error is after exe start dowloading, what is the complete error message?

Wht is the operating system you are using?

Hi Brian,

You may log on to

https://websmp207.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000735547&_SCENARIO=011000358700000002...

then select

>> Software downloads >> now if you need service pack you may select Support packages and patches or else if you want to install SP3 full build you may select Installation and upgrades >> A-Z Index >>  Letter 'C' >> Crystal Reports >> Crystal reports 2008 VI >> Installation

and here you would find the respective download.

Thanks, but that requires an SAP customer login. We are not a customer of SAP, just Crystal Reports 2008, which was owned by Business Objects (An SAP Company).  When I attempted to register, it requires an SAP customer number, of which we are not.  Thanks again.
