Can you confirm that you have installed SP4?

Yes, SP4 is installed. I cannot start the "Report Application Server" Because of missing "ntlmssp". I'm nes on Server 2008 (R2). So is there a Chance to get this service installed or that report application server running without that sevice called "ntlmssp"? . At the moment the following state: I can choose a report, i click on "view". Then the mask is shown wich details i want to have in my report. i scroll to the bottm of the page and press the "ok" button to show the report itselfe.

by the way. i'm testing with ie8. could it be that the report server tries to run some kind of activx witch could be blocked by domain policity?

Meanwhile i'm getting Com Exceptions but I never touched that components. thinkin' bout goin back to server 2003. Hope that this will work than

The Report Application Server will not start until you remove the depency.

Here is what you need to do to remove the deprecated dependency.

1. Open Crystal Reports Server (Start>All Programs>Business Objects)  

2. Click Central Configuration Manager.  

3. Right-click Report Application Server.  

4. Click Properties.  

5. Click Dependency.  

6. Select NtLmSsp.  

7. Click Remove.  

8. Click Apply, and then click OK.  

9. Close the application by clicking the X button in the upper right corner.  

10. Reboot the server.  

Thanks Mark!

Hii Bill,

I have tried Installing the only given install files from our Sage Support and when installing Crystal Reports XI, (Before the SP4) it will not install. Are you saying there is a Crystal Reports XI install with SP4 in one?

Thanks

Let me clarify something here:

The problem with Installing Crystal Report on a 64 Bit Windows 2008 Server (the Alphanumeric error) relates to the "x86" on the Program Files path for 32 bit components and it is caused by existing Crystal Applications.

The solution is to Install Crystal Reports before installing any of the SalesLogix Components.

If you have already installed SalesLogix (or other Apps that install Crystal Components) you could remove them, then Install Crystal Reports first and then proceed with the SLX Items.

I have had done this many times, and it has worked every single time.

DO you have the SP4 package for download? What is the link please? Can you send me?
