We have noticed a small percentage of installs of the Crystal Reports for.NET Framework 2.0 (x86) 10.2.0, found, will appear to hang when starting the MSI installation (i.e. After all the user input prompts). This only occurs for one of our large corporate clients and only on a small number of Windows 7 32 bit machines. In some cases the machines are freshly imaged and in others they are machines that have been in use by the user for a number of weeks.

Crystal reports for.net framework 2.0 free download - LabDevTools for.NET Framework 2.0, Microsoft.NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (IA64), Microsoft.NET Framework SDK version.

In all other cases the installer runs zip, zip, zip, complete in a matter of 30 to 60 seconds. Today we were lucky enough to work with a Sysadmin who had the patience to let the installer sit until it either returned an error or completed.

We were curious and hadn't found any other reason why the condition would exist. Sure enough after about 20 minutes the installer made a jump from almost no progress on the progress bar to about 40% on the progress bar.

However, it appeared hung there now as well. The sysadmin was patient and let it run another 20 minutes. Sure enough at about 19 minutes the installer continued installing, zip, zip, zip, complete.

We tested to make sure the crystal runtime when executed actually worked and it did. Having not seen this behavior prior to the last 3 or so months and seeing the condition only occur on a select few machines for a specific customer. What in the world could be happening during this time when the installer appears hung (maybe it isn't hung after all)?

Posted by Jeff-Net Fan Support on 14 June 2012 08:48 AM If you're getting installation errors installing the Crystal Reports runtime engine, running our FULL Report Runner installer, make sure you're installing with administrator permissions, and please try the following two steps. Note: If you are simply UPGRADING your runtime engine, you do not need to do anything with.Net 4. Just download and install the higher runtime engine. --- 1) Download the.Net 4 ( or later) installer directly from Microsoft: (Install and/or repair your.Net 4 or 4.5 installation) Note: Microsoft now has a.Net repair tool: --- 2) Next, download and run the Crystal runtime engine installer separately: SP3: Note: SP3 is the runtime service pack we recommend the most. It is most stable of the runtime service packs.

SP20: Note: SP20 is the runtime service pack we recommend for later operating systems like Windows Server 2016 or later. SP20 now ships with our full installer instead of SP3. --- All runtime engines here (SP3 is recommended by Jeff-Net for being most stable): SP1: SP2: SP3: SP4: SP5: SP6: SP7: SP8: SP9: SP10: SP11: (This release was pulled by SAP for being too buggy) SP12: SP13: SP14: SP15: SP16: SP17: SP18: SP19: SP20: --- As of 2018.300/2018.305, our software now supports SP21 and later. You must be on 2018.305 or later to use SP21, though. Magic engine 113 key code. Note: Updating an existing Crystal runtime installation to 21 or later? We recommend.

This has not been an issue in the past, but for whatever reason, SP21 and later does not seem to install correctly with a previous version installed. SP21: SP22: --- Replacing/Uninstalling a Later Service Pack with an Older One: You can upgrade any service pack by installing a later one. If you need to install a previous service pack (like go from SP10 to SP3), you will need to manually uninstall (and clean up) the later service pack/runtime engine. Then install the previous one.
