Crystal Reports XI Runtime Installer

by Peter van Mil

The only supported way to deploy Crystal Reports XI applications using the Report Designer Component (RDC) is using merge modules. In this document is described how to make a Windows Installer based setup package, that does nothing more or less than installing the Crystal Reports XI runtime to run a VDF 11.1 sample report. I have used the following tools: Crystal Report XI Developer Edition, updated merge modules, Orca and Installer2Go.

Crystal Report XI Developer Edition

For developing RDC based applications you need Crystal Reports XI Developer Edition or Crystal Reports XI for DataFlex. Both versions copy the necessary deployment files on your PC. CR XI for DataFlex includes the Connectivity Kit for Crystal Reports, that supports native DataFlex files.

Merge Modules

Business Objects put all the necessary files and settings for the Crystal Reports XI runtime in merge modules. Merge modules are components, that can be included in Windows Installer based packes. Crystal Reports XI needs the license keycode to be included in the installer, so I isn't possible to convert somehow the four merge modules into one installer.
Updated merge modules are available at http://support.businessobjects.com/fix/merge_modules.asp. Copy these files to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules.

Orca

Orca is a Windows Installer package editor provided as part of the Windows Installer SDK. You will find it by looking for PSDK-x86.exe in Google. The title of the download site is confusing: "Windows Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK Web Install". When you install PSDK-x86.exe you will find Orca.Msi at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Bin. Install it and you will have a shortcut to Orca.exe.

With Orca you can open the file CrystalReports11_RDC_License.msm. It is tempting to change everything that is possible, but it might be better to change just one thing: the license keycode. In the left pane you can choose for property and in the right pane you can set the value of PIDKEY. This isn't the serial number, but the code with the format XXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXX. Orca saves the code in the merge module.

Discografia Joaquin Sabina

: Often considered his definitive pop-rock work, featuring the legendary "Y nos dieron las diez".

For new listeners, compilation albums are an excellent gateway into Sabina’s vast catalog. Notable collections include , Querido Sabina (1993) , and Diario de un peatón (2003) . Furthermore, for the serious collector, the box set "Sabina Vinilos" (2020) is the ultimate artifact, containing his entire discography on 21 vinyl LPs.

Considerado de forma unánime como su obra maestra absoluta. Producido por Alejo Stivel, es un autorretrato honesto, nocturno y canalla de un Sabina en estado de gracia. Canciones como el tema homónimo, "Cerrado por derribo", "Una canción para la Magdalena" y "Noches de boda" (junto a Chavela Vargas) forman parte de la historia de la música universal. 4. Renacimiento y Alianzas Históricas (2002–Presente) discografia joaquin sabina

En la última década, Sabina ha seguido activo en la escena musical. En 2012, publicó "Máquina 42", un álbum que mostraba su habilidad para fusionar estilos y crear canciones pegadizas. En 2015, lanzó "Lo niego todo", un álbum que incluía canciones que reflejaban su visión del mundo y su experiencia vital. En 2020, publicó "Espíritu inquieto", un álbum que incluía duetos con otros artistas y canciones que exploraban temas como la vejez y la mortalidad.

The 1990s and early 2000s were arguably Sabina's golden age. During this time, he released the albums that would define his career and cement his status as a global superstar. The poetic sophistication of his lyrics was matched by increasingly ambitious musical arrangements. : Often considered his definitive pop-rock work, featuring

Un álbum íntimo, crudo y con fuerte presencia de guitarras acústicas, donde aborda el paso del tiempo y la mortalidad.

Disco en directo que plasma la histórica y exitosa gira mundial junto a su íntimo amigo Joan Manuel Serrat, combinando y entrelazando los repertorios de ambos gigantes de la música. Furthermore, for the serious collector, the box set

Abre una década irrepetible. Sabina refina su lírica con la ayuda de Pancho Varona y Antonio García de Diego, sus escuderos musicales históricos. El álbum equilibra rock, rumba y balada cruda. Destacan Contigo , Eclipse de mar y Con un par . Física y Química (1992)

By , he is the archetype: the man in the gray suit who secretly writes poems on napkins. This album is his identity card. It sells, but more importantly, it settles in —like a regular at a bar who never has to order because the waiter already knows.

Crystal Reports Runtime

The end result is the installer Crystal Reports XI Runtime with a size of more than 70 Mb. Leaving away several option (export filters, etc) doesn't result in a smaller size. The installer doesn't include the Connectivity Kit for Crystal Reports. If you want to test a report, take the report "Crystal - Address Labels in the orderentry sample of Visual DataFlex 11.1.
