For Crystal Reports 2008 and earlier versions (like XI and 10), SAP provides official runtime packages as Windows Installer (MSI) files or Merge Modules (MSM).

If successful, you will receive a message saying: "DllRegisterServer in ... succeeded." Troubleshooting Common Issues

Canvas Analytics has some overlap with Canvas Chart (both visualize grades) and Canvas GPA Calculator (both do grade calculations).

If this happens, check the extension's store page for updates, read recent reviews for reports, or temporarily disable the extension until a fix is released. Extensions with larger user bases and recent updates are generally more likely to be patched quickly.
