regsvr32 on servercore base container

Question

Hi,

I have trouble to register bunch of crystal report DLL inside servercore container, I already pointing regsvr32.exe from syswow64 but still no luck, but I managed to register on windows 7 (32bit), 10 (64bit) and 2016 (64bit) standard (virtualbox) without any trouble.
How to handle it? Is there a specific procedure to follow?
Thanks

Hello @Franc Siswanto ,

Thank you for your question.

Please Follow these steps :

A. The files crystl32.ocx and crviewer.dll should be in C:windowssyswow64 and not in C:windowssyswow64system32 on a Windows 7 64-bit PC.

1. Unregister the file in C:windowssyswow64system32.
2. Copy the files to C:windowssyswow64 and register those files.

B. Do the following steps if the Option A fails:

1. Create a setup program for your VB6 application with Package and Deployment Wizard or another installation wizard.
2. Run the setup program on your Windows 7 64-bit PC.

C. Modify your vb6 application if the above options all fail.

1. Use Crystal Report Viewer Control – crviewer.dll instead of Crystal Report Control – crystl32.ocx for your report viewer need.
2. Create a setup program for your VB6 application with Package and Deployment Wizard or another installation wizard.
3. Run the setup program on your Windows 7 64-bit PC.
