Error: keycode.dll 1

[z4ppi]

Hi,
I have following problem. When I try to start a project in Visual basic .net Standard that contains Crystal Reports I get the message "keycode.dll not found or keycode not valid" so I made shure my system has this dll and made shure with regsvr32 that it's known by my W2K installation. Therefore I assume that my keycode is not valid.
I'm using CR9DEV.
Any suggetions.

Hi
Try this

To resolve this error message, you need to register keycode.dll.


To register keycode.dll:


1. Click 'Start' | 'Run' and type:

2. Regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Seagate Software\Shared\keycode.dll"

3. Click 'OK'. A dialog box will appear indicating you have successfully registered the DLL. Click 'OK'.


Now when you start the Crystal Reports Designer, you will not receive the error message


cheers

That's exactly what I already did exept that registered the keycode.dll located in C:\Program Files\Shared Documents\Crystal Reports\2.0\bin\keycode.dll since that is where I found the file. But as I wrote before, it didn't work. What is exactly conatained in this file? I still supect that there's something wrong with the file.

Crystal have made a dreadfull mess with the keycode stuff in CR9. Hopefully it's better in 10, but I doubt it.
They've put security around the runtime that prevents you rolling out software without a keycode. Wait until you try to distribute your application!
Best option is to just do a full reinstall - sorry, I know .Net takes a week to install.
Looking ahead, whatever you do, don't uninstall Crystal as it breaks bits of .Net.
