Sap Crystal Reports for Visual Studio - SP21 does not accept edit designer.

[Former Member]

Hello,

After installing CRforVS13_0_21 in 32-bit architecture, whether Windows 7 or Windows 10, you can not use the designer in VS2017. The error below occurs:

In the InprocServer32 registered for package [Crystal Reports Tools Package] c: \ Program Files (x86) \ SAP BusinessObjects \ Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0 \ Common \ SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0 \ win32_x86 \ CRVsPackage.dll

Already the installation done on a 64-bit machine works perfectly.

What can be done to solve this problem?

I await a brief return.

Best regards

Luiz Ricardo

So the error suggest either the report does not exist or you don't have rights to open if from that location.

Is there anything else that report is opened in? Sometimes CR Designer or another instance of the app may have an exclusive lock on it.

Try deleting all files in your user \temp folder. I found in VS sometimes when stopping a debug session it leaves the report behind and keeps it locked.

Not sure what the first error is showing? can you translate it to english?

Error shows:

<description>Skipping 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft\ExtensionManager\Extensions' as it doesn't exist</description>
 

It appears there is a permission issue in VS. Try repairing VS and then repair CR.

If that doesn't work try installing after changing your PC's language to English. It could be the language is why it's not integrating properly.

SP 22 was just released today and it fixed the issue:

Obviously, on 32 bit Windows 10 there is no such folder:

c:\Program Files (x86)\

On my 32 bit Windows 10 I only have this file

C:\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\CRVsPackage.dll

Hello,

I have the same problem with Windows 10 Professional 32 bit and Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2017

I installed CRforVS_13_0_21.exe as admin and I still can't open .rpt files in VS2017

Exactly the same problem as here. It just opens it like a binary file https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42902740/how-to-integrate-sap-crystal-reports-in-visual-studio-2...

Hi Luiz,

I found this thread after experiencing the same problem and Googling for an answer.

I found my problem to be that I failed to run the CRforVS_13_0_21.exe as Administrator - no problems or errors occurred during installation but VS 2017 will not open the file.

Right-clicking CRforVS_13_0_21.exe and selecting "Run As Administrator" fixed the issue for me.

Hello Mike Sheen,

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately I have tried everything and without success. It only looks correct in the 64 bit architecture, already in 32 bits it is any windows, it does not leave the .rpt edit. If you can find a solution to this please do not hesitate to let me know. Thank you very much.

Once again, I'm here for a nuisance related to the package CR package 21 for VS2017, whose problem is related from the beginning of this post. Please, I need an answer on this subject. Thank you very much.

Don Williams,

I did the installation again as per your instructions, including installed new windows 7 32 bit and windows 10 32 bit, however the same problem persists.

Here are some files for you to review. I await a brief return. Thank you very much for your attention on this issue.

Regards,

Ricardo

ONCE AGAIN, DO NOT INSTALL the CR 32 bit MSI on your DEV PC. Uninstall it, I'm not going to install it on my image because it's not required.

Hi Luiz,

I have it all installed on Windows 7 SP 1 and it works for me.

You are likely missing some dependency on that PC now.

BE sure the VC 2015 C++ runtime is installed on it. I also had to install 4.6 Framework before VS 2017 would install as well.

Compare runtime files, that may help you find the source or use ProcessMonitor to see what files it can't find on the Windows 7 PC's.

Don Williams,

I uninstalled the 32-bit MSI according to your suggestion, however the same problem continues. I am then waiting for a solution after its testing on 32-bit OS. Thank you for your attention.

As I said, uninstall the 32 bit MSI, it's not required on your Development PC.

I'm still trying to find a Windows 7 32 bit OS VM image.

Don Williams,

There are no files in the user / temp folder. Both VS2017 and CR were installed normally, so I noticed that in VS2017 status there is no CR installed on the 32 bit machine, but yes is installed. In the 64-bit machine in VS2017 status, the CR appears there. You see, the installation was done on 3 32-bit machines and 2 64-bit machines for my test analysis. Attached is some images collected for analysis. I think that's enough to solve the problem. Once again, thank you for your attention. Awaiting return.

Thank you very much,

Don Williams,

This procedure that you suggest, was done here with me too, although the same error occurs. If not ask too much, I ask you to do the same installation on the machine 32 bits (VS2017 x CRSP21), because I believe that the same situation of the reported error will occur. My development is all done in 32 bit architecture. I can not wait to go to VS2017, because VS2015 is very heavy, but for that, I just need to solve the problem reported here. Thank you very much for your attention and I await your response.

Uninstall CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_21.msi on your DEV PC and then repair the EXE install.

I'll have to test using a 32 bit Windows 7 but see if changing the file association to devenv.exe works.

On Windows 10 it should work this way...

Right click on any RPT file in Explorer.exe and Open With and you should see "Microsoft Visual Studio Version Selector" Or same from the Properties of the Report.

Don Williams, After VS2017 was installed, I installed CRforVS_13_0_21.exe as administrator and CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_21.msi. When you click the .rpt file in the project, VS2017 says that there is no editor available for the .rpt file as attached. All in 32 bit architecture. But the same procedure done on the 64-bit machine works perfectly. I have done and re-done several times and the same problem occurs, even creating a new report project crystal reports.errovs2017xcrsp21designer.png

[former_member11696]

Hi Luiz,

Did you run the EXE on your PC with VS installed on it or just the MSI redist package? Must run the EXE installer and use Run As Administrator when installing it.

Not really clear what you are asking?
