Urgent!!! Crystal Reports 10 distributed runtime gives Invalid TLV Record
Hi, someone please help me before I put a hammer thru my monitor! Here's the scenario:
VB6 App (SP6)
CR10 Developer w/ all latest hotfixes & service packs
Installshield X w/ latest updates (Including latest Crystal 10 RDC merge modules)
Development Machine: W2K Pro w/ SP4
VB6 app has the following:
Controls: Crystal ActiveX Viewer Library 10 (crviewer.dll)
Designers: Crystal Reports 10 (craxdui.dll)
References:Crystal ActiveX Viewer Library 10 (crviewer.dll), Crystal ActiveX Designer Run Time Library 10 (craxdrt.dll), & Crystal ActiveX Designer Design and Run Time Library 10 (craxddrt.dll)
App has one form that opens the report viewer w/ the following code:
Dim Report As New CrystalReport1
Private Sub Form_Load()
Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass
CRViewer1.ReportSource = Report
CRViewer1.ViewReport
Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault
End Sub
This opens the report viewer w/ no report selected. This works great on the development machine. HOWEVER, when I package it w/ InstallshieldX & deploy, I get the infamous "Invalid TLV Record" error & the app closes.
I have checked all the DLL files and whatnot on the target machines, and all seems fine. Please help, this is extremely urgent!!! I really don't know what else to do at this point! Crystal...er Business Decisions has been absolutely no help. All they say is that the report is corrupt...which I don't understand...because there IS no report!!!
Thank you all for your guidence...I'll be indebted to whomever can solve this problem for life!

Thanks Spykair, but I've already read those...neither is the culprit.
What is the OS of the user machine ?
Have you tried the same install on a 2nd machine ?

mlmcc,
This didn't actually solve the problem, however it did lead me down the path of getting it solved, so I'm awarding you the points. Once I started poking around the DLL files on my development machine, a lot of the version #'s didn't jive. I then realized that there were some DLLs from CRv9 on there that were sneaking into my installer package. Took the simple way out & turned one of my test machines into the dev. machine. Did clean installs of everything (VB6, CR10, & InstallshieldX) then ran all the SPs & hot fixes on all. Copied the VB project, re-packaged & voila! Everything works. Now I can sleep...lol.
Thanks again for helping me out of this mess! MUCH appreciated!
