quick answer: make sure .net framework 2.0 is installed

symptoms:

Check event viewer->system section for these errors:
should be a series of 3 each time you try to start the service:
1) Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.CRT could not be found...etc
2)Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.CRT...etc
3)Generate Activation Context failed for C:\Program Files\CrystalControl2\cc2_service.exe.

these events usually correspond to the message that was something like "bad configuration. try reinstalling app" (can't remember exact wording)

cause:
no vc80 library support

fix:
make sure .net framework 2.0 is installed.


this was my problem and the fix worked for me. i'm not totally sure regarding other cases.

CrystalControl2 does not use .NET at all.
I think what you have found is a DLL that CC2 needs is installed along with .NET.

"MSVCR80.DLL" should be the only extra Windows DLL it needs besides the normal Windows DLLs that come with Windows XP/2K.

I have included "MSVCR80.DLL" with CrystalControl2, but maybe it also needs to be copied into the "windows\system32" directory.

ahh my mistake.

i just googled for the error and found that's what i was missing according to the event log.

it was way too late at night for me to think straight because i had spent all night playing with my new lcd =]


cheers,

I have the same problem... copying the msvcr80.dll to the system32 directory did not work... installing .net 2 DID work...

Same problem here... same errors, and no matter where I put the DLL it simply refuses to work.

I also tried to register the DLL but that failed, too.
