Get your Crystal report working on your customers server (Cannot find KeycodeV2.dll, or invalid keycode)

Actually I do like Crystal Reports. It may not be perfect but the way it works with datasets, its grouping a selecting options and the web report viewer are very workable. Deploying Crystal Report to a web server is another story.

When you test your app on your localhost all seems to be working well but when the app is installed on the webserver it produces the notorious Cannot find KeycodeV2.dll, or invalid keycode error message. The Crystal site has loads on support on that which tells you to update some registry settings. There is a big chance that you will not find these settings. What to do next is hidden a lot better in the docs.

The crystal viewer uses a couple of dll's which are installed on your development machine. They are part of CR for VS.NET but not of the .NET framework. If there is no vs.net installed on the webserver these files will be missing on the server. A deployment project in VS.NET will not see the dependencies and will not include them in the setup. What worked for me (destilled out of the loads of CR docs) was creating a setup project with a couple of merge modules

  • Crystal_Database_Access2003.msm
  • Crystal_Database_Access2003_enu.msm
  • Crystal_Managed2003.msm
  • Crystal_regwiz2003.msm
  • VC_User_CRT71_RTL_X86_---.msm (used for reports based on ADO.NET)
  • VC_User_STL71_RTL_X86_---.msm (used for reports based on ADO.NET)

The regwiz module has an License key property, here you enter the Crystal license key found in the help about of VS.NET. It will read something like AAP50-GS00000-U7000RN.

Installing this dummy app will enable CR in all your webservers applications. On one server the setup was a webapp, on another server we had to create a Windows forms setup before the server would see CR.

Blog on, Peter

You're using a different set of msm's.
Did you check registration ? Of the setup package and in the registry ?

Hi,

We have developed a .net application in C# and VB.NET (Visual Studio 2003). when we install the Application on a Tablet PC with Operation System Windows XP, the reports which have even one subreport are not working with the error "Object Reference not set to an object".
We are using the ReportViewer component of .net. We tried creating the install of the Application with both Visual Studio Set up projects and also with Installshield express.

When we installed our application first, we got keycodev2.dll error and that has been resolved and after that we are getting this problem.

We also used the latest Crystal Report merge modules and compared the DLLs using Modules.exe from Crystal Report Site in 2 scenario - one while running the Application from Visual Studio on the tablet PC when the reports work properly and the other one with the installed exe created from the same source which is working on the same tablet PC. The number of Dlls are more when the Application runs from the installed exe but all the dlls in use in the other scenario are present here. We checked the versions of dll also in both the cases and they are same.

Please suggest what to do.

Thanks in advance.

The original post concerns web-apps. Once fixed (on the web server) it's fixed for all clients. Once fixed for one web-app it's fixed for all webapps.

It's an overkill to include the the assemblies in the setup of every web-app. To big (> 10 mb)

Some day I'll look at running Crystal in a Windows .net app.

There are different sets of MSM files depending on whether or not you are using the full versions of Crystal Reports, or the embedded version in VS .NET.

The following pdf has all the information you need:

I still can't get Crystal running on target machines as the very frustrating "Cannot find KeycodeV2.dll, or invalid keycode" keeps appearing. I've even tried to copy about 20 registry keys, from my development machine to the target machine and that still did not work. Installing VS.NET on the target machine is now the only way I can use Crystal. So I simply resorted to not using Crystal and now at least my application works and to hell with Crystal. I will look for another way to get out the reports. Adobe's Acrobat, which I used to use when I programmed with C++, did work. I'm programming utilizing C# and Window Forms. tshokite@comcast.net :(

Well I have an update. After trying, and I mean many times, I finally got it to work. Seems I have been running on an older version of Visual Studio .Net, from an install off of the MSDN site (subscriber), but it was an older version. I removed that older version completely and reinstalled the latest version of Visual Studio.Net. Then I downloaded the following writeup from: http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/crnet_deployment.pdf
It is very well written and holds your hand throught the process (forget the other documents on the internet as they kind of waist your time and are incomplete) :)

I have made an application in Visual Basic.net that uses Crystal Viewer to run some reports. I have no problem running the application on the machine where it has been developped or any machine that has Visual Basic.NET and Crystal Report 9 installed.

But when I tried to deploy my app on a computer without Crystal Report 9 and only the right Framework, I had a TLV Record Error. I am using Crystal Report 9 and i have included the merge module that Business Object give :
Crystal_Database_Access2003.msm
Crystal_Database_Access2003_enu.msm
Crystal_Managed2003.msm
Crystal_regwiz2003.msm

I still have the same problem. I thought it might be because i'm missing these 2 modules event thought i'm not sure i need them :
VC_User_CRT71_RTL_X86_---.msm (used for reports based on ADO.NET)
VC_User_STL71_RTL_X86_---.msm (used for reports based on ADO.NET)

But i can't find them and now my app needs to be delivered... it's getting quite urgent.
What to do? Help me please!!

It is a mess. There are several version of CR, several versions of the framework and there is web-based CR versus a Winform based.
I have managed to get the CR which comes with VS.2003 to work on a web-server. And I know that the solution for all other combinations is different...

Hi Peter, and thanks for the magic tip. I had to resort to the second option (installing a dummy Windows Form App with the reqd. CR modules).
My quirk : if CR and VS.net are so tightly integrated WHY can't that &*#$ regwiz.msm pick up the 19-digit itself?
Anyway, thanks for the info, especially for putting it concisely and lucidly unlike most obfuscated CR documents available.
Cheers - Guru.

I've checked that my assemblies are all of the same version and also unregistered and re registered various dlls including keycodev2.dll but it did not solve my problem.
The ultimate solution was installing Crystal on the server where I'm trying to deploy my web application. This works! Consumes space but at least it works!

I have tried to create my own merge module project and add these files, so I would have just one merge module for my deployment package.

No dice.

The funny thing is that the merge module properties are NOT exposed if these are in a merge module project. The properties DO get exposed when they are in the deployment project, rather than the merge module project.

Solution worked for me also, just adding the gotchas that caught me as a newbie to this IDE.

At first I didn't understand "create a setup project" but I found it - New Project, and choose Setup/Deployment type. Also I got the dreaded "Licence Key cannot be nullable" but could not find where to set it. Turns out the View window for the solution (which lists the merge modules) was off. When I turned it on from the View menu, and clicked the + sign next to properties, I found it.

CR on Windows is comparable but does work different. I think your windows setup needs a CR setup. But I don't know what goes in there.

I don't think so. Apart from the technical side. The license key is your license which comes with VS. It's not the users license.

Just a note for everybody who haven't solved the problem yet:

let's say your license key is
AAP50-GS00000-15M00FS

don't forget to remove de "-"'s

ex: AAP50GS0000015M00FS

this was the solution for my problem.. a bit lame i might add..

one more question peter,if my production server already has web applications installed in them with the correct license key,and when i go to install a new application if i specify the wrong license key,will my application show the crystal report correctly.The reason why i ask this is that my understanding says that the merge module license key only installs the correct version of crystal dll in the gac,so if its already done due to previous applications running (Which were bult using the same crystal reports version)on the same server.
Another question is what if i move my installed application folder to say another drive say D: drive.What will happen in that case ???wrt to crytal reports ??

My suggestion is to build a CR deployment package independent of your apps. Needed once So Asp. NET (and all your apps running on that) have CR.
CR installment is independent of your apps. When CR works in one app and not in another you are dealing with another problem. When you move your app to another drive you'll have to inform ISS where it has gone. The virtual dir mappings should be changed.

I hope someone can give me a clue why the keycode error occurs when accessing a report through a Citrix frame server. The report runs fine when using the server directly but fails through the terminal viewer.

Any ideas where to start? The preceeding comments were an enormous help in getting this far.

It is a Citrix problem :)
Wild guess: Citrix makes Window search for dll's on the client PC instead of the server ?

This issue plaged me for several days on a Win2003 system.

The solution ended up being giving "EVERYONE" read permissions on the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\1.0\bin where the keycodev2.dll file resides.

Can you shed some light on what to do with the dummy app ? I created one as a project within my solution, re-built and copied the dll back but still the same issue. Does the dummy app need to be created separately from the solution, if so where should it be put on the webserver, in the root ?

Thanks

Here is a list of things I tried:
installed the crystal components using merge modules including the regwiz2003 module with the license key (I tried with and without dashes)
tried to suggested change to the machine.config file
plus I tried every single thing businessobjects posted for this problem (e.g. registry permissions)
I'm trying to do this on the 2003 server, the app was developed on XPSP2. I am using the bundled version of CR with VS2003.
I am about to tear my hair out, it is so frustrating. Anyone has any other suggestions that may work?

Good article. I have created a (Windows) setup installer with the specified merge files for my web application, installed the files on the web server that hosts my developement web-based application, and established the the keycodev2.dll is registered and that the ASPNET account has priveleges on the appropriate directories. I have also validated that there are no versioning conflicts as well. However, I still get a "Cannot find KeycodeV2.dll, or invalid keycode" error.

From reading the previous responses to this article, I may have located at least two reasons for the continued error, and a few unknowns:

1. One contributor stated that removing the dashes from the license key information on the Crystal_regwiz2003 merge file license key property fixed his error. I have not (I cut and pasted the license information into the property).

2. the ASPNET account has read privileges on the root_directory:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\1.0\Bin folder where the .dll resides, as opposed to 'Everyone'.

A third problem could be in the machine.config file in the the .NET Framework environment; I'm not sure that the username in the processModel section is set to 'System'.

Finally, I used the windows vs. web installer to deploy my web application. The application works fine except where it tries to utilize the CrystalReports functionality. Could the setup installer project be an issue as well?

At any rate, should I validate all of these potential problems?

Thanks in advance!

For some things Crystal does need write rights. To write a temporary file to a scratch dir. See my post on exporting from Crystal
Do check the machine config.
The WIndows insatller is OK to insatll just the Crystal stuuf. You need a web insatller to install the web app itself.

And in the end : use SQL reporting services. I ran away from Crystal and am happy with RS

Following up on my previous post, it turns out that removing the dashes from the license key code when adding it to the Crystal_regwiz2003 merge file license key property was indeed the problem. The report functionality works fine, except...

The report navigation tool bar images (First, Prev, Next, Last, Go To, 'Powered by Crystal, etc...) are not being loaded when I run the report. I have:

1. Verified that the root_directory:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Crystal Reports\Viewers\images\ToolBar folder exists on the server, and

2. The ASPNET account has read privileges on the folder.

Is there anything else that I need to configure or be aware of?

Thanks!

So. Web application, project setup, permissions over the registry, and all that.

Still can't work. I deployed my project on a Windows 2003 Server, did all that, and still doesn't work.

Over Windows XP it works perfectly, I mean, over a clean pc (no Visual Studio, no Crystal Reports, etc)

You can download all necessary files in one neat package and then create a setup file or msi.  Works great with visual studio 2005 even comes with a word document on how to.

BTW, I'm facing a problem with subreport deployment. All reports without subreports are OK on both my site & Clients site. In the otherwise, the reports with subreport show incorrectly on Clients (some fields missing) although it's normal on the developers' computer.

I think there're other components we missed but I found nothing.

Hello Peter:

I have what may be a naive question.  I created a dummy web setup project in VS 2003 with the merge modules that you suggested so that I could get the correct dll setup on a web server. When I install the project on an IIS server, it puts a bunch of dlls on the machine in c:\program files\common files\crystal decisions\1.0, but does not appear to install such dlls as CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll, CrystalDecisions.Shared, etc. in c:\program files\common files\crystal decisions\1.1. Why aren't those installed along with the others? Do I assume that they are not necessary to run a Crystal Reports web app?

Thanks for any help!

Hi pvanooijen, thnx for the reply...

all images are stored in database (sql) itself. Interestingly if I run the report from crystal reports it shows the report correctly with image, but from dotnet application its not showing at all. "FAILED TO RENDER PAGE" is coming from application.

I still think it's a rights problem. Using CR you're, reading between the lines, accessing the DB under your user credentilas, unders asp.net under the asp.net acount. The asp.net accoutn has limited rights.

Hello,

    I have developed a crystal report in my windows app, it is working fine when i deploy on client machine as long as the OS is XP or 2000, but trouble started after I installed in on Vista. For some reason the keycodev2.dll is not getting registered on vista. maybe over security of Vista is avoiding it to register the dlls? Did anyone find a solution of a quick fix for this?

Hi Peter,

I´m using crystal reports 10 in my web server and i´m getting the error "The maximum report processing jobs limit configured by your system administrator has been reached".

I google and try a lot for os solutions and nothing.

Did you experienced  something like that?

Newbie question here.  When we create a report, save it, when we execute it it takes us back into the report developer.  How do we get it to run when we double click the report instead of going into developer?

Thank you.

Hey, i included the merge modules in the deployment project and that worked .

However now, while exporting it to pdf it gives me error - access to 'C:\DOCUME~1\FFUK\ASPNET\LOCALS~1\Temp\12-234' denied.

deployment machine has Win2003 server,

Also I have one more asp.net application on the same server already and crystal report has been working fine on it from a long time with export function as well.

Please advice.

Cheers

Maybe I was not that clear... I mean that I did the whole registration, the merge modules, that you said and this keycode error was solved very well for XP, but when I use the same setup for Vista I have the same keycode error again. I looked for the new merge modules on support.businessobjects.com/downloads/merge_modules.asp  (CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msn   80MB by the way =O =O) and used the same Crystal_regwiz2003.msn for the registration (because its  the same Visual Studio 2003 with his own Crystal Reports)

But I have the same keycode error again =( =(

Any help
