Hi,

As before, I installed VS2008 with CR 10.5, it works fine.

But after installed independent Crystal Report 2008 package on same computer, CR on VS 2008 is not works.

Removed independent Crystal Report 2008 package , try to open CR on VS2008.

When opening the reports in Designer view it just appears blank and give me an error invalid keycode.

How could I solve this issue?

Thank you very much!!!

Hello Francis

I am not sure what version of CR you are now trying to work with, CR 10.5 or CR 2008, or both?

I would uninstall CR 10.5 and reinstall / do a repair on CR 2008. You will then be able to reference CR 2008 (v 12.x) assemblies.

Should I install CR Basic for VS 2008 from  VS2008 disc before CR Basic for VS 2008 - SP 1?

Thank you Very much

You should not need to install CR Baasic (10.5) at all.

Hi Francis,

As per my understanding on this thread following is what I can suggest u:

  1. U can very well have CR basic for VS2008 (10.5) & CR2008 (12.x) on same machine.
  2. By default VS2008 opts for CR2008 if installed, if u want to work on CR basic for VS2008 u have go to the toolbox> Add item> Uncheck the 12.x version of CrystalDecisions.Web,dll and check  CrystalDecisions.Web.dll similarly for other dlls pertaining to CR.
  3. Whether u have CR basic for VS2008 or not, if u have installed CR2008: u should be able to open report without any problem within VS or in CR standalone unless there is a problem with version of VS, corrupt installation etc...

As suggested by Ludek, repairing the installation will be a way to go further.
