I just finished dealing with this version wkstn setup and Windows 7 OS. Added the following notes to my 450 reference worksheet:
Windows 7 Applications- Workstation setup installs the crpe32.dll to the wrong location and needs to be physically moved on each workstation after client setup (workstation setup)
Copy the cpre32.dll from
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\Bin
And Paste crpe32.dll into the
C:\WINDOWS\system32 (or if applicable on 64 bit OS to the C:\Windows/SysWow64)
Since I did the UAC dance, uninstall prior workstation, re-run workstation, acting like the admin 'run as adminstrator' scene + uninstall and reinstall Crystal,,, you may just want to try this resolution first. And hopefully then you too can say, ""OMG! Are you freakin' kiddin' me? Really? How stupid!"" ;)
