Getting Crystal Reports XI Release 2 to install

 

I was facing some issues getting Crystal Reports XI Release 2 to install.   The installer was complaining that .NET 1.0 or 1.1 should be installed.   This was kind of a confusing message, since .NET 1.0 and 1.1 were both installed on the box.

The workaround is to uninstall all versions of .NET except 1.0 and 1.1 temporarily.  In my case I had to uninstall .NET 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 to get this to work.  Once it was completed installing, I reinstalled all the uninstalled versions of .NET.

URL Rewrites in WCF

I had posted an entry to StackOverflow earlier today.  But I was able to resolve before I got an answer.  When handling URL rewrites in WCF, it’s important to include the trailing forward slash in the URL.  You can this in my example below.

 

public class FormatModule : IHttpModule
{    
#region IHttpModule Members    
 
     public void Dispose()    
     {       
          throw new NotImplementedException();   
     }   
    
     public void Init(HttpApplication application)    
     {        
          application.BeginRequest += new EventHandler(application_BeginRequest);   
     }    
 
     void application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)   
     {       
          HttpContext context = HttpContext.Current;       
          if (context.Request.RawUrl.Contains(".pox"))             
               context.RewritePath("~/Lab1Service.svc?format=pox", false);        
          else if (context.Request.RawUrl.Contains(".json"))             
               context.RewritePath("~/Lab1Service.svc?format=json", false);   
      }    
#endregion
}
 
What I needed to do was to include the trailing slash as seen below.

 

context.RewritePath("~/Lab1Service.svc/?format=pox", false);
