Visual Studio crashing when building Crystal Report with Parameters from Database Expert

[Former Member]

When I try and build a report with parameters, as soon as I click the ''go'' button on the parameter field dialog box, visual studio crashes. I have tried to use stored procedures, sql commands and views, but as soon as there is a parameter, it just closes visual studio. I have installed SP21 and am using VS 2017 community.

Hi Greg,

Try repairing the install or uninstall and then You MUST select Run as Administrator, new requirement by the Framework update.

The parameter panel is java (js file type) based so it could be you need to install any Java JVM or JDK 1.8

You could try using DebugDiag and set it for a crash on devenv.exe and see what it's reporting.
