Hi, I'm trying to deploy a java applet that uses the the ReportViewerBean. When I load the applet if I go to the console I see the messgae "No Response From Server". I know this obviously means my server is not configured properly. I tried following the IIS Configuration Guide on this but where I'm using version 9 of Crystal Reports with the Report Application Server things are not exactly the same. What should happen if I just type in the rpt url
ie. http://localhost/reports/reportname.rpt
If i do this I get prompted with an open/save as dialog box. If i try specifying the viewer as a parameter in the url
ie. http://localhost/reports/reportname.rpt?viewer=java
I still get the same thing.

Obviously something is not configured right but it seems all people in this forum are working with version 8.5 or older.

Any help is appreciated and it's so nice having found a forum for java related Crystal Reports problems.

In the IIS configuration doc and throughout this forum I see mention of setting the entries for .cri and .rpt in IIS. I can't find these entries in my setup but the dll file mentioned in the IIS doc is not on my computer, obviously since I'm using the newer version. Any ideas what I should look for or how I should set these for my configuration? I've created a virtual directory "reports" and I guess I have to set these entries for this directory in order to get this to work.

Honestly,I have no exposure to CR 9.0 version and,neither can I try experimenting on it as I do not have it with me.But,I do realise that CR9.0 ;though considered to be more powerful than ever before, is causing problems for users during installation.I have already received a couple of similar queries related to this.

I would suggest that you try re-installing Crystal Enterprise 9 on the Server machine.If one installs the CR (in Version CR 8.0 and older) & CE(in Version CR8.5 and newer) ,after installing IIS ; the DLL's should get automatically added to the Web Server.

I would also suggest that you should go through the Hot Fixes available for the latest versions and apply them to your work environment.You can achieve this by going to Crystal Decisions and, Select Crystal Reports (Version 9) from the list.
