DLL missing in VB Package & Deployment wizard

As I recall the u* dlls are for backward compatability.  You don't need them.

Can you successfully deploy to a Win98 machine?
Charts not displaying is generally from a missing dll.

the link you provided suggested that the client machine had an older version of crystal32.ocx. I just checked it against the dev. W/98 machine and they were identical. So that does not sove the problem.

Make sure the Charting .dlls exist on the client workstation:

sscsdk80.dll
pg32conv.dll

Both need to reside in \Program Files\Seagate Software\Shared.

The link I provided also mentioned ensuring the 2 dlls vidru mentioned were loaded.  They are the ones required for charts.

U25store is needed only if you are using the old store/fetch method.  CR7 made that obsolete with the introduction of variables.

Hi hrogers,

This is always my advise when I see questions like this:

A diagnostic utility has been included on the Crystal Reports CD to help single out the dependency files a report needs to execute the way it was designed. The tool is called Rptchk32.exe and is located in the tools directory on the Crystal Reports version 8.0 CD ROM. The help file, Rptchk32.hlp, accompanies this utility in the same directory.

I will recommend to you to check these 2 utilities which are very useful for tackling Runtime File problems.  Some of these are installed in the same directory as CRW32.EXE, and others can be found in the Tools directory on the Install CD:


RPTCHK32.EXE - The purpose of this utility is to load a Report, analyse it for the Runtime Files it requires, and then provide you with the results of the analysis.  

CRWCHK32.EXE - This utility was meant to be run on a client machine.  You tell it what Crystal version you are distributing, and which options you want to scan for, and it will search out the DLL's and tell you if the versions are what was expected or not.  It will list all the versions of the files that it finds in the Windows search path, along with their versions, dates, and sizes.  It will also record any that it does not find.  

If by any chance you can't find these EXEs on your Crystal CD or on the directory I mentioned above, I'm pretty sure you can download these files on Business Objects site.


Goodluck,

jrmn : Good point.  I generally forget those exist.

I wanted to mention that I have not loaded crystal on the client machines, therefore the path: Programs Files/Seagate Software/Shared does not exist as it does on the Dev machine..

I did find that scsdk80.dll existed on one client machine running XP professional. It was in Windows/System32. pg32conv.dll was not on the client machine and I hesitate to load it into windows/system32.

Should they be in system32 dir?

I believe it should be in system32, I'll check our installations.  You can always put it in the application directory and it will be found.

mlmcc

Just checked.  We actually put both dlls in the application directory and we run with no problems.

Thanks...when you say Application directory what should it be? remember there is no Seagate directory on the client machines

I moved the new copy of sscsdk80.dll to windows/system32 on the client machine and all the other files to a created directory: Program Files/Seagate Software/Shared and the charts still did not work.

I tried crwchk32.exe on the client machine and it wanted an .INI file? Which one should I select...?

I ran rptchk32.exe on the Source machine and it created a list. I checked that list against the client machine and all the files were there.  Still no chart.

Once again, from reading all the things Ive been sent, it appears it boils down to having the files on the client machine. I have created a directory Program Files/Seagate Software/Shared and made sure the files from the dev machine were copied there.  

I have no problems running any other (non chart) reports on the client machine, it's just the report with the chart that just does not display.

pg32conv.dll and sscsdk80.dll exist in the seagate shared dir on the client machine..


Any other ideas?????

I moved them to the dir where my app was and it works now. Thanks!

GLad I could help
