Crystal Server 2008 Installation Problem

[maxandy]

Dear All,

I've been trying to install Crystal Server 2008 onto a Vista laptop which already has Crystal Reports 2008 installed.

I get a message telling me that I can't install it due to it finding an existing Crystal Reports 2008 installation present.

I'm certain that (on a previous machine) I had both Crystal Reports XI r2 AND BO Enterprise XI r2 installed simultaneously. Has anyone experienced the same problem as me, or am I having a "thick-attack" in trying to run both on the same machine?

Any help gratefully received.

Cheers

Haven't had that exact problem, but have had numerous others due to having BOE and Crystal on the same machine, I know you're supposed to be able to do it, but I now keep them physically separated on different boxes. That seems to have eliminated a lot of "weird" problems. I dorked up one box so bad by having both on it it had to be whacked, probably my fault yes, but.. If you MUST have them on the same box, I think I read an SAP note recommending BOE go on first, then Crystal.
