Which service packs are the eqivalent as the Windows 7 version for W2003?

[Former Member]

Thank you for your response to "Crystal Reports XI Release 2 .Net 2005 Server Compatability":

I did try the Service Pack update for Windows 7 and it worked and resolved the error -- Thank you!

Several Service Pack links and instructions were provided for Windows Server 2008 R2 64-Bit.

I have not as yet tried them, but I did leave out a question:

The best practice to to use the same version of any software on all platforms: development, test and production.

Since it will be requried to use the Service Pack version for Windows 7 and we are currently on Windows Server 2003 32-Bit for development and production, which service packs are the eqivalent as the Windows 7 version for Windows Server 2003 32 Bit?

We currently use NO service pack version of Crystal Reports XI Release 2 .Net 2005 Server on these Windows 2003 Server 32-Bit web servers -- what is the equivalent version which matches the Windows 7 version? -- so that all platforms are using the same version of Crystal Reports XI Release 2 .Net 2005 Server?

Appreciate all of your help.....Dave

If I understand the question then the best way to approach this is to ensure that any and all versions of what ever OS you deploy to have the latest runtime:

https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100000633302010E/crxir2sp6_net_si.zip

These will work on WIN2003, Win2008, Win7, XP, etc., etc.

Thank you for getting back to me.

Just one clarificatiion -- for the Server installations, if the first version of Crystal (no Service Pack) was the only one installed, should SP4 and SP5 first be run before installing the SP6 version as this thread below seems to imply, or is that not necessary?

Again-- appreciate all of your help.....Dave

Hello Dave

For the runtime, you can go with SP6 right away. No need to do one SP after another. On the dev box, it's a different story. Depending what SP it is on, you may have to go SP4, then SP6 (you can skip SP5 as that was an incremental build, SP 6 is full build). See [this|; thread for more info.
