error when installing the crruntime_12_1.msm

[Former Member]

Hi

We have Vis Studio 2008 and CR 2008

Recently upgraded to SP1 of CR2008

When installing the latest version of our software, which has the CrRuntTime_12_1.msm integrated into the installation, onto an XP sp2 machine, many of the DLL's failed to install with:

'Failed to register c:\program files\business objects\businessobjects enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\cereportsource.dll

and many more

We had to download the runtime installer and run that for it to work (suppose we could have manually regsvr32'd many of them)

Is this going to keep happening with our other clients ?

Hi Bruce,

I came across the same problem and ended up following the same solution as above.

Some further details can be found on this posting:

That SAP Note is currently still internal.

It says to install Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1, and ensure the following assemblies are referenced in the build:

Microsoft_VC80_ATL_x86.msm

Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm

Microsoft_VC80_MFCLOC_x86.msm

Microsoft_VC80_MFC_x86.msm

Microsoft_VC80_OpenMP_x86.msm

policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_ATL_x86.msm

policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm

policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_MFCLOC_x86.msm

policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_MFC_x86.msm

policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_OpenMP_x86.msm

It's something Dave Hilton found with the XI 3.1 runtimes, caused by a change in a Microsoft process that prevents us from including components from those msm's.

Sincerely,
