Running Crystal Reports after OnGuard upgrade produces an error

Symptom

 
 
When running reports after upgrading OnGuard, you might see the following error:
 
Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version =13.0.2000.0
Culture=neutral, PublicToken=xxxxxxx or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
This can occur when a previous version of SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET framework (32-bit) is installed.
 
 

Resolution

 
 
  1. Run the install .msi and either repair or install. This file is located on the Install iso at the following location:

    %\Windows\Temp\Crystal

    Open the installation disc and run the CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_16 file.

  2. Once the install is complete, log back into System Admin and run a basic report.
  3. If the above does not work, go to Programs and Features and uninstall the following:

    SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET framework (32-bit)

  4. Once the uninstallation is complete, repeat step 1 to install the version compatible with OnGuard 7.4.
 

Note: Repeat this procedure on any workstation or server that is having the issue.

Applies To

OnGuard 7.4 (and above)
