Since the support for BO and Crystal pretty much stinks when it comes to finding an answer I thought I’d try to post this here. We are having some issues with Crystal Reports on the server and I wanted to patch it up to SP5. I finally found a download (and even then I’m confused whether to use the SP5 or FP 5.2, so I guess I’ll put SP5 on first and then try the other one. Onto my question…When you unzip the SP5 file you end up with two .msi files (CrystalReports11_5_Net.msi and CrystalReports11_5_Net_2005.msi).
We currently have Crystal Reports XI Release 2 .Net 2005 Server installed. Looking at that I would guess it would be the _2005.msi file, but I’d still like to know the difference in the two files.
Any ideas?
It looks like you’ve somehow got a hold of the full installer (incl SP5), but yes, the VS 2005 version is the _2005 file, while the other version is for VS.NET 2002 or 2003. See here for more info.
I can’t seem to find a standalone or incremental SP5 download (surprises me not), so you may need to uninstall/reinstall using the file you found.
