Can't deploy Crystal Reports XI R2 web project on my local web server. This is my development PC.
I was running Crystal Reports XI Developer. I uninstalled it. I installed Crystal Reports XI R2 after reading some posts.
I successfully completed and ran a Crystal Reports XI R2 web report example within VS2005. I've followed all deployment tutorial examples for CR XI R2 to no avail. I've created deployment packages using the merge module CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msn with my keycode filled in. I've tried using Windows Installer with Prerequisites selected for Crystal Reports XI Release 2. I just have not been able to get this going. I can see that the crystalreportviewers115 are installed on my local IIS. I'm so close to getting this working but I'm not sure what is causing the error. Can anyone give me any suggestions Maybe it's as simple as (fill in the blank!)
Thanks!

Do you need a new Product Key going from Crystal Reports XI Developer to Crystal Reports Release 2
I'm using Crystal Reports XI in Visual Studio 2005. I’m trying to use Crystal Reports in a web deployment situation. Do I need an updated Product Key and registration number I tried to install “Crystal Reports XI Release 2 .NET 2005 Server Setup” from my project build and it says: “The Product key code is not valid or has expired”. This is the name of the install file it was trying to run: CrystalRedist115_x86.msi.
When I installed Crystal Reports XI Release 2 it took my product key and registration number without complaint........
A more detailed recap of what I'm doing follows below:
Thanks for any suggestions. I'm finding it very difficult to get a Crystal Reports XI R2 web project running on my local host web server. It runs just fine inside VS2005. Maybe it can only be deployed on a real Windows IIS server, and not the IIS that runs on Windows XP

My recap:
1) Installed Crystal Reports XI Developer
2) Installed Microsoft VS2005, production version, not beta.
3) Uninstalled Crystal Reports XI Developer and installed Crystal Reports XI R 2. File: 14-50079-085.zip. I used my CR XI Developer key and registration for this installation.
4) I downloaded "Crystal Reports XI Release 2 for Visual Studio .NET Server Install" and installed: CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msi on my PC. My PC runs Windows XP, latest service pack.
5) I downloaded crXIr2_net_merge_modules.zip and copied the following files:
CrystalReports11_5_maps.sms
CrystalReports11_5_NET.msm
CrystalReports11_5_NET.msm
into C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules, overwriting the older files.
6) I created a Crystal Report web project, following a tutorial that runs fine within MS2005. The report is not embedded. It's just a viewer that loads a report from a hard coded location and uses the xtreme.mdb file for a data source. It opens the report with data. You can sort either way in this turtorial.
7) I added a Web Setup Project to the existing project. I added Project Output. I went into the Prerequisites and checked: .NET Framework 2.0(was prechecked) and Crystal Reports XI Release 2. I built the WebSetup1 project.
The error I was getting before I saw the Product Key message above was:
The Report Application Server failed
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: The Report Application Server failed
Line 12: hierarchicalGroupingReport.Load("C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11.5\Samples\en\Reports\Feature Examples\Hierarchical Grouping.rpt")
I suspect I need a new Product Key or I installed Crystal Reports incorrectly.... I just don't know.....

I read the documentation to get my installation/deployment facts in order and I downloaded the latest crXIr2 net server install file.
From my own observation it seems that to deploy a Crystal Reports XI R2 web project it must be on a Windows Server, not a Windows XP Pro machine.
I could never successfully deploy on my Windows XP Pro, IIS development PC. When I finally had access to a Windows development server machine I was able to get things working.
