Crystal Reports 8.5 Runtime Er Professional Version Of
Crystal Reports 8.5 Runtime Er Upgrade For 10

Those are the Crystal Oracle drivers - if they are in the directory, then they may not be correct in the registry.

I am trying to install Crystal reports on a computer that has Oracle 8i client installed.

No matter what i do i cannot get the Oracle Native drivers to install.

Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it Thanks for any help phyllisfox.

Are you looking under More Data Sources-Oracle Server How do you knwo that its not installed Are you sure that the Oracle client is properly installed What verision of Oracle -k.

I have a report that is already written and has been working for years off of an Oracle Stored porcedure, and uses the Native Oracle Driver.

When i open this report in my new computer i get Physical Database not found My Oracle Client version is 8.1.7 and i can connect to Oracle thru Sql Plus and can tnsping the instance.

The driver that comes with Crystal 8.5 is an Oracle 7 driver and i do not have Oracle 7 client installed.

Crystal Reports 8.5 Runtime Er Upgrade For 10

I recently purchased the developer upgrade for 10.0.

So I could install the upgrade and get the drivers correct Any comments on how well that version works Thanks so much for all the input.

The update should install the correct drivers( you need to use Custom Install and select them, I believe) CR10 has significant changes in the look-and-feel and in some operational functionality.

It will work with all your existing reports and will convert them to V10 format whan saved.

If you plan to publish to Crystal Enterprise, that version must be 10 as well.

Do you think there is any validity to my thought on Oracle 7 client vs Oracle 8:-.

I did do a custom install ( more than once) and made sure I picked all the data access options.

The reason I need this particualar driver is that we have this report being called from our ERP system using a vb program.

If I change to a different Data Source say the CROR8V36 ODBC driver,then when the people on the floor try to run the report they get an Oracle 01456 error.

I have tried all the ODBC drivers I have and none seem to work, they all get the same error.

The report is using an Oracle Stored procedure and has no errors with the native driver.

Not sure why youre having problems, good luck and please keep us aprised.

The database connectivity options you see in Crystal are built dynamically depending on the database clients you have installed, so its either a problem that the OCI.DLLs arent installed, or arent installed in a place where Crystal can find them.

So would could also check your environment variables to see if the directory these files are in, are in the system PATH.

I uninstalled Crystal,re-installed Oracle (programmer option) just in case it missed something needed with application users option.

Reinstalled Crystel reports and the Native Oracle Drivers will not install.

Look for DLLs that start with CROR on your C:WINTsystem32 directory.
