Cannot find KeycodeV2.dll, or invalid keycode

Question

Hi,

I made a VB.NET application using Visual Studio .NET 2003 Pro that connects to an Access Database on a main server. The development machine operates on Windows XP Pro. The client machine is Windows 2000.

I've been to many sites regarding this. So, I've already added the 6 merge modules (including Crystal_regwiz2003.msm and I have the correct Key Code obtained from having registered Crystal Reports and have tried the Key Code found under Help > About... > Crystal Reports), I have also registered crqe.dll on the client machine, bootsrapped the .NET Framework, downloaded MDAC on to the client machine, etc.

And yes, I have gone through all of Business Objects Articles.

If anyone can figure this out, I'd appreciate it. No one has been able to yet. I usually figure these things out sooner or later, but this time I'm stumped.

Answer 1

You need to register CR (using a registration key) - have you done that?

Answer 2

Hey, thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, I registered it then they sent an e-mail with the Key Code in it. So, when I expanded the MergeModuleProperty of the Crystal_regwiz2003 merge module I tried using that Key Code under the License Key Property. I also tried using the Key Code under the About Menu in the IDE (both are valid; 19 digit).

Answer 3

I remember getting that exact same error message a few years back and it had to do with the registration.

Answer 4

Yeah, that's the only thing that I can think of as well. I even tried typing the key code with the dashes and then again without the dashes, but that doesn't make a difference. There must be something I'm not doing regarding the registration. Or with my luck it is something totally different.

Answer 5

Does anyone else have any bright ideas?

Answer 6

I am having the same problem. Apps work great on production PC but when deployed? No Go... I have tried a number of solutions so far none work for me. I am preparing for a rewrite with text box reports. Poor but my customers are calling for my head.

ps. I just found this and it works  add these merge modules and it flys.

Crystal_Database_Access2003.msm
Crystal_Database_Access2003_enu.msm
Crystal_Managed2003.msm
Crystal_regwiz2003.msm
VC_User_CRT71_RTL_X86_---.msm
VC_User_STL71_RTL_X86_---.msm

Answer 7

Do i just need to copy them files in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules folder?

I am creating standalone exes which are ran over the network from a main server. will this method still work if i copy these files to each client machine?

This is so silly, all this stuff should be incorporated into the .NET Framework lol.

Thanks

Answer 8

This worked for me, too, thanks to someone on this forum that indicated it. I also added the the License Key in the Crystal_regwiz2003.msm under the MergeModuleProperties. I used the key that I received in my email when I registered Crystal Reports on the BusinessObjects's website. It is a 19 digit key that looks like AAP50-GS00000-U7000RN.

Crystal_Database_Access2003.msm
Crystal_Database_Access2003_enu.msm
Crystal_Managed2003.msm
Crystal_regwiz2003.msm
VC_User_CRT71_RTL_X86_---.msm
VC_User_STL71_RTL_X86_---.msm

I have got your reference from internet while I am surfing from the keycodev2.dll error. I have got the error "Cannot find keycodev2.dll or invalid keycode" when I am trying to run my application on web server. It works fine at my development computer. After reding your message I have registered my application on www.crystaldecision.com/net/licensing. I have also got a mail from them. but in this mail I received only License agreement (a .pdf file). I coundn't find any keycode in this mail. Please if you can help me to solve this problem. Please help me.

 

Thanks in advance

Answer 11

One thing that caught me out initially was that when I installed my deployment project I set the option to install "Only For Me".  Which obviously meant that the keycode or whatever wasn't available to the ASP.NET account etc.

So make sure you install for Everyone.

hi,
i am using .Net 2003 version & using crystal reports for the same. But i did not register the crystal reports. Whenever I open the crystal report page, it alerted me for registration, but i dont know anything about that. I am the developer & I use Win 2000 & it generates the report on my PC, but when i created the setup for my project, it is not working at the machine where deployed. Please suggest a solution for the same ASAP.How will it work on the server machine.
I have used C#.Net for coding.

Answer 13

Hi,

I'm using VS2003 and am facing the same problem eventhough I have included

Crystal_Database_Access2003.msm
Crystal_Database_Access2003_enu.msm
Crystal_Managed2003.msm
Crystal_regwiz2003.msm
VC_User_CRT71_RTL_X86_---.msm
VC_User_STL71_RTL_X86_---.msm

into the Merge Module and put License Key at  Crystal_regwiz2003.msm.

 

May I know where can I change the setting for option to install "Only for me" to "Everyone"? Hope this option can help.

 

Thanks!
