Crystal Reports 8.0 with Windows 2003

[varshan09]

Hi,
We are trying to use Crystal report Web component server (WCS) on Windows 2003 server as OS. It' not opening web samples.

Does Crystal report 8.0 work well with Windows 2003?

Thanks,
Varsha.

It wasn't invented when CR 8 came out, and I'm sure that BO wouldn't waste their time testing it, they'd give the not entirely altruistic suggestion of upgrade!

CR 8 is no longer supported, the current version is CR 10.

Is there any patch available to make it work on Windows 2003?

Hi,
Probably not..W2003 has made many changes in its web components ( it is IIS6, now) and they are not even compatible, in some respects, with current versions of Crystal without some patching or workarounds.
