Developer Question for January 31

Question:

A Microsoft Visual Studio .NET application uses Crystal Reports 9 for Visual Studio .NET as the reporting development tool. This application connects to a Crystal Enterprise 9 system. Crystal Reports 10 is then installed on the same computer. When the CR 9 for VS .NET application is run, the following error message appears when connecting to CE 9: "Access denied. You cannot log on to an older version of the CMS." Why does this error message appear and how do you resolve it?

Answer:

This error message appears because some CR 9 for VS .NET runtime files get unregistered when CR 10 is installed and the application uses the CR 10 versions of these files instead. Learn how to resolve the error.
