   Topic: Downloading R2 for XI
Posted: 01 Sep 2008 at 2:19pm |
Just bought the book. Great! In the Preface you recommend downloading R2 and provide a link. The link no longer words and user is directed to the SAP site.
I registered there and was presented with a list of downloads, but don't see the original Release 2. Lots of Hot fixes and Service Packs up to 4. If I install SP 4 I assume it contains everything I need, but hoped for confirmation.
Have you or anyone tried this on the original XI version?

Kmspico V10.0.4 -office And Windows Activator- Techtools.net Hot! May 2026
Because KMSPico is not an official tool, it is frequently used as a "Trojan Horse." Many sites (including those mimicking TechTools) bundle the activator with spyware, ransomware, or miners. Since the tool requires you to disable your antivirus during installation, your system is completely vulnerable during the process.
The interface is designed for simplicity, requiring minimal technical knowledge. kmspico v10.0.4 -office and windows activator- techtools.net

Unlike official activation, it does not require an active internet connection to "verify" with Microsoft. Creating a in case the installation breaks your OS
Using an activator is a direct violation of Microsoft’s Terms of Service. In many jurisdictions, this is considered software piracy. Businesses, in particular, face heavy fines if caught using non-genuine software during an audit.

At its core, KMSPico is a tool that mimics a Microsoft KMS server locally on your machine. In a corporate environment, a KMS server allows a single key to activate hundreds of computers across a local network. KMSPico tricks your operating system into thinking it has communicated with such a server, granting it "Activated" status. |

I will give it a try. I didn't think it was clear, either. I never saw the plain old XI R2. I think SP2 is the first one available, but I will check again. I did see the dreaded incremental. I thought I would try SP3 first since hopefully, it will contain everything up to that point. Will let you know. Thanks!

I downloaded and installed R2 and then downloaded and installed SP3 and SP4 from SAP site. Reporting back as requested.
I am having one issue. When I open the app or any report not stored in the Workbench, Windows Installer comes up and then I get a Wait While XI configures R2. This takes 10 minutes and I get java prompt pop ups with java.exe running in a window.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Sure would appreciate.
Also, downloaded your training reports for the book, Brian. Missing Chapter 10. Is there one or did I lose it somehow?
Thanks again.

I found the download of R2 with SP2 here: http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crxir2.asp. The zip file is 1.03 gigs. It sounds like I should hold off on installing SP3 and SP4.

I am going to uninstall SP4 and see what happens. If it continues, I will uninstall SP3.
It is very annoying!
If anyone is successful getting rid of the issue, please post and I will do the same.

I just installed R2 with SP2 and I've been getting the Windows installer problem. Once I get Crystal Reports open, I can open anything I need to, but the installer wants me to do nothing else while it's doing its thing.

I had this problem when I was writing the XI book. The only way I got rid of it was to uninstall CR XI from my computer and then install the R2 download as a clean install. It is a full install and doesn't need XI to be on your computer beforehand. Then the installer nightmare went away.
