CR 2008 64bit ClickOnce Win7

[Former Member]

We have a clickonce application using crystal reports 2008 / .net 3.5.

It installs correctly on windows 7 32bit if we disable UAC, but of course we have a couple 64bit.

The program (.net one) installs correctly but when you try to load a report it bombs out with a error message from "Crystal Reports" as follows:

"An error has occurred while attempting to load the crystal reports runtime. Either the crystal reports registry key permissions are insufficient or the crystal reports runtime is not installed correctly..."

We have the redistributables for CR 2008 SP2 and have also tried the SP3 with the same results.

Can CR2008 run on windows7 64bit?

This sounds like you have compiled your application for any cpu, try choosing x86 instead since Crystal Reports 2008 is 32 bit only.

It also sounds like you are not installing as a local PC administrator. After Service Pack 2 you don't need to disable DEP or UAC. Just click Allow.

Try right clicking on your setup.exe and selecting Run As Administrator. After you recompile the app for x86 mode and re-build the deployment package as Adam indicated.
