Active Report 6 not working in Windows 10 - activereports

I am using Active Report 6. Recently i updated my windows 8.1 to Win 10.
After that i can work on Active Reports through visual studio.
But I am not able to view report by running the application.
It keeps saying loading and then the message "The connection was reset".

I don't think this issue is related with ActiveReports.
In case, you are using a Web Project, this might be ASP .Net related issue. Please check following links discussing the same:

getting a connection was reset error on asp.net
Anyhow, ActiveReports 6 surely not supported on Windows 10. Hence, for using AR on Windows 10, you need to update the ActiveReports version to AR9 or AR10:

Crystal Reports Viewer of windows forms not working after upgrade .net from 4 to 4.6

My existing code work as expected with .net framework 4. But after upgrade to .net 4.6. Its not work
I also ran into this. Had to uninstall all 4.6 frameworks, and then re-install 4.5.2 Framework. And finally re-register in IIS by running aspnet_regiis -i
and then my CR started working again.
So removing 4.6 for Windows 2008 Server is the solution. For Windows 2012 Server, turns out the 4.6 is "hidden" as update KB3102467 that was pushed out around April 2017. Uninstalling that got the Crystal Reports viewer working again on our Windows 2012 servers.
Another answer for anyone... fix is simple but requires a manual change every time their is a patch\update for .NET Framework 4.6
Turns out the problem is that Crystal Reports looks for a folder that matches the version of the Framework including the "build".
The quickest way to manually fix this is go to the web page that has the Viewer and look at the source. You will find a line similar to /aspnet_client/system_web/4_6_xxx/crystalreportviewers13.....
Go to the servers hard drive and rename\copy that folder to the version it is looking for and you are back in business.

How to run Visual Studio 2005 Crystal Reports app on Windows 8.1 - says can't find CR runtime

I have a VS2005 forms app that uses Crystal Reports (built on a Windows Server 2003 system). I can run the app in Windows 8.1, but when I try to open a report, I get an error saying it cannot find the Crystal Reports runtime. I've installed the CR2005_x86 runtime, and the C++2005 runtime for good measure.
I've also installed VS2005 on the Win 8.1 machine (with its SP1 and SP1 for Vista), can open/edit the reports within VS2005, and can build the app, but this too says it cannot find the CR runtime.
In both cases running with Admin priviledges.
Can anyone help? What am I missing or do I need to upgrade (eg to VS2012)?

Tom

Can File Maker Server 5 Run under windows server 2008 or 2012

I am working with a client that is running Filemaker Server 5 in a workgroup environment and is now upgrading to a true client server network running either MS windows server 2008 or 2012. Will Filemaker Server 5 run in the new network environment. They do not want to upgrade Filemaker. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Have a look at this:
FileMaker Server operating system requirements - all versions
Windows 2008 does not appear on the list until FileMaker 10. Windows 2012 only supported only with FileMaker 13.
This is an official supported version chart, so you still can try and install it. I am sure, there is a compatibility mode which will let you run it. If you have any problem, you will not be able to get any support from FileMaker.
If updating FileMaker is such an issue, you might be better of running a VM on the same server with an older OS and serve it from there.
You will probably have a similar problem with clients' installs when their workstations are upgraded. FileMaker 15 is around 15 years old.
You should also consider that the filemaker 5 / 6 clients will not install on a new OSX OS Version - I'm not sure about Windows, that should be tested before moving forward if that is a requirement.
All new versions of Filemaker will convert Filemaker 5 files to a new format, however it's a big change and the scripting and layouts need to be checked after conversion. Filemaker 5 is 14+ years old and support stopped around 10 years ago which explains the compatibility issues.

Crystal Reports XI compatibility with Windows 2012

I have a Crystal Reports application that is hosted in IIS on a windows 2003 32 bit Server. The Crystal reports version in use is Crystal Reports XI Release 2 SP 2.
We are migrating our applications to Windows 2012 64 Bit Servers. I am not sure if this version will work support on 2012 server.
Can anyone please tell me if it will work on 2012? If not, is there any workaround?
While it's not supported, you may have luck with updating your Crystal to service pack 6.
See this page for links/details on doing so:
https://blogs.sap.com/2011/06/07/where-did-all-the-crystal-reports-xi-r1-and-r2-fixes-go/
We faced two scenarios using Windows 2012 64 bit Server and Crystal Reports 10.2.0.
In the first one, everything is working fine until now.
In a second one, I was working fine too, except when someone would try to save the report as an Excel file. It would crash the IIS ASP.Net process. Something on KERNEL32.dll, but I don't have the full message in English to post.
We tried to format the server and reinstall Windows 2012 Server, but it was useless.
We researched about it and all the references and possible solutions ended up at an orientation to install Crystal Reports 13.0.12.
We installed the newer version and everything is working fine.
Please note the the version numbers are a bit confusing. I always check the version number in windows "programs and resources".

unable to load crystal report in windows server 2012

I have created a web application .net 2008 with crystal report. I have deployed it in windows server 2012 64 bit OS. The server is installed with 3.5 and 4.0 .net frame work. The problem is, the crystal report is not displayed in the web page. It doesn't throw any error.
Thanks in advance.
In windows server 2012 it runs IIS 8. Previous versions of crystal report doesnt support IIS8. For running Crystal report for IIS 8 you have to install new
crystal report*(v. 13.0.6.x)*
on your win server machine. Please check following link for downloading crystal report.

Also, make sure you are using a supported browser version.
