Uninstallation of Crystal Reports 2008
The following sections discuss the known issues and limitations in Crystal
Reports Server 2008.
Uninstallation of Crystal Reports 2008
Issue:
If Crystal Reports Server 2008 co-exists with Crystal Reports 2008 with same
set of language packs on a machine, then the uninstallation of Crystal Reports
2008 results in the deletion of non-English resource files of Crystal Reports
Server 2008.
Workaround:
Use the Add or Remove Programs option to repair each language pack, so
that you can retrieve the non-English resource files of Crystal Reports Server
2008.
Installation of Crystal Reports Server 2008
Issue:
During new installation of Crystal Reports Server 2008, or while upgrading
from Crystal Reports Server XI / XI R2, the Installer does not provide the
option to configure the IIS (.NET) version of InfoView and CMC Web
Application.
Crystal Reports Server 2008 does not support the IIS (.NET) version of
InfoView and CMC Web Application; it supports only Java Application Servers
such as Tomcat. For the detailed list of supported Java Application Servers,
