Help: CR7 will not install on XP Home
Help!!
Setting up a new development PC, I cannot get Crystal Reports 7 to install
on XP Home. Inserted the CD and the front-menu appears OK, allowing
selection of the 16-bit install, 32-bit install and a few other options. As
soon as I click on the 32-bit install the installation returns to the
desktop. If I run the 32-bit setup.exe from the appropriate directory on
the CD it again returns to the desktop.
I've not had this problem installing CR7 on XP before, though only done it a
couple of times and it has been XP Pro not XP Home.
Note that the user profile has administrator privileges. No problems
encountered installing anything else.
