Hi Everyone!

When I include the CR9 merge modules (license.msm, mapping.msm & rdcruntime.msm) in my IS7.04 standard project setup, it fails on an NT4 machine. The following error occurs:

Error 1904.Module C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin\Emfgen.dll failed to register. HRESULT -2147024769. Contact your support personnel.

The verbose log is similar:
...

When I try to register this dll manually using regsvr32, I get the following error:
LoadLibrary("C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin\Emfgen.dll") failed. GetLastError returns 0x000000b6.

I have followed the instructions in articles Q106852 and Q108650 correctly.

It works fine on Windows 98, Me, 2000 and XP!

I have also tried using a very simple setup which just installs Notepad and these merge modules, it is still the same.

Can anyone help, please?

Check for the dependancies. Probably the dependant DLLs are missing in NT systems.
It could be that you miss the .NET frame work.

Check the file that fails to self-register with dependency walker: http://www.dependencywalker.com/
