Crystal report 2016 (version 14.2.5.2618 ) on Windows 2016 server.

[Former Member]

We have installed Crystal report 2016 (version 14.2.5.2618 ) on Windows 2016 server. Our development machine has Windows 10 operating system and Visual studio 2015. When searched on SAP website, we found visual studio developer setup CRforVS_13_0_23.exe on the link https://www.crystalreports.com/crvs/confirm/. This is with no IDE integration. But when we installed this setup on development machine ,then version of crystal report found after installation is 13.0.23.2819 So when code is compiled with the version 13.0.23.2819 on development machine and published on server (version 14.2.5.2618 )then we got following exception on the server code Could not load file or assembly 'log4net, Version=1.2.10.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040) Further we search found on the link https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Crystal+Reports%2C+Developer+for+Visual+Studio+Downloads that it need SP15 setup for visual studio 2015. But SP15 setup is not found . Where can I find SAP developer version for Visual Studio 2015? Please correct me if I am going somewhere wrong. Any help is appreciable.

Thanks

I see a couple of misconceptions in what you've posted:

1. The Crystal Reports report design tool shouldn't be on the server where you're running your application. However, I have successfully installed Crystal Reports 2016 and the SDK side-by-side on my laptop where I don't have any problems running anything. Is there a specific reason why you have it installed there?

2. You need SP15 or newer to work with VS2015.

3. On your development machine, you need to have the same version of the SDK integration to VS as the runtime that you're using on the server. Go through the Wiki you have linked above to get both SDK downloads. The orange button on the final download page will get you the integration with VS. The blue buttons at the bottom of the page are the various runtime options that you can use for deploying your application. You MUST use one of these to install the SDK runtime - it can't be done correctly by just including the assemblies in your installer because much of the SDK is COM-based, so the install needs to update/create registry settings.

Thanks for the information.. Which version of crystal report need to install on the Deployable computer(Windows server 2016 64 bit) for run the crystal report code which is compiled using visual studio 2015 ?

CR tuntime is set for your app platform, so depends on what you compiled it for, use that MSI.

GO here:

https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Crystal+Reports%2C+Developer+for+Visual+Studio+Downloads

And download the 32 or 64 bit MSI package from the download page, CR for VS runtime is for your app platform and not the OS platform, so if your app is designed for 32 bit the instlal the 32 bit MSI, and install it on the app server.

All of the info regarding known issues etc. is on that WIKI page.
