Crystal-iMIS/ crpe32.dll error
Dear Experts Exchange,
I hope that you can help me with the following issue. I have a user which uses Windows XP SPK2, Solomon 7.0, iMIS 10 and Crystal Reports 8.5. A few days ago we upgraded the version of our Accounting applications.
After upgrading FRX and Solomon 7.0, some of the users in the accounting department (5 people) tried to print invoices from iMIS (the invoice require crystal), unfortunately, the users started getting the following error :
OMNISAXR: Exception Source=ASICCrystalCTL Name=CrystAX_SetSparam Msg=File not found: \Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin\crpe32.d
I was able to fix the problem in one of the users by uninstalling and reinstalling crystal. Unfortunately, this solution did not fixed the problem on the other 2 computers. After login as a different windows user in one of the problem computers the problem did not appear and we were able to print invoices.
Therefore my conclusion was that the local users profile somehow got corrupted and that created the problem The solution worked in one of the problem computers but not on the other one.
By this time, I have 2 computers fixed and one still showing the problem. I decided to uninstall Solomon which has a newer version of crystal, uninstall crystal and delete the users profile. I rebooted the computer, created the users profile, I installed Solomon, I verified that is working and I decided to install Crystal. I went into iMIS, I tried to print an invoice and guess what the error showed up again!
I looked for the .dll file and the file exist in that particular folder, I even copied the file from another computer into the one with the problem and still I have the crpe32.dll error
For the time being, I have the user connected to our remote server and from there she can print invoices from our database, by the way we also upgraded the Solomon and FRX versions in our remote server and none of the accounting users are having the problem.
At this point, I dont know what to do besides, smashing the computer against the wall.
Can any of you Savvy Gurus help me? PLEASE?
Thanks

Solomon is using CR10. Based in our DB Admin's details we need to use crystal in order to manipulate the data that is generate by our database reports. That is what I understood. Sorry, I'm not a DB person. I'm a network person.
Also, if in fact the problem was a compatibility issue, why we don't have the problem when we log in as a different user? by log in , I mean I used a different windows user log in.

Since it occurs after you reinstall CR8.5 I suspect the registry is getting changed so your application tries to use the CR8.5 dll rather than the CR10 version.
I know there were some tricks to getting CR9 and CR8.5 to run on the same machine. I don't recall what they were. I'll try to find out.

Thanks and I'm sorry for my late reply. I was out of town. I'll try your solution and I'll let you know.
If it is CR9 or later then the CR8.5 version is not compatible with the report files.
Why do you need CR8.5 on the machines?
