This is a step by step installation process for CRD (Crystal Reports Scheduler).
Before Installing...
- Before beginning the installation, please ensure that ALL of the prerequisites listed on the CRD Prerequisites page have been met. This ensures that CRD runs as expected. Failure to meet the listed prerequisites may result in errors occurring.
- A reboot of the CRD server will be required after installation is complete.
Preparing for the Installation
These steps must be completed prior to running the CRD installer.
After downloading and extracting the latest build/version of CRD, perform the following steps:
User Account Control
- If you are installing CRD for the first time on this server, turn off the User Account Control (UAC). You can turn it back on once the installation of CRD has completed.
Unblock the CRD installer
- Open the appropriate CRD version/build folder.
This is most likely located in your Downloads folder.
- Highlight and then right-click the CRDSetup file.
- Click Properties.
- On the General tab, click Unblock in the lower right corner.
If Unblock is not present, the CRD installer is already unblocked.
Some security features, such as Windows SmartScreen, can block certain files or flag them as potentially unwanted. If the CRD installer is run without being unblocked, CRD will not run properly.
- Click Apply.
- Click OK.
