WARNING: The following involves editing the registry. Using the Microsoft Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems. Use the Microsoft Registry Editor at your own risk. For more information, see the SAP Knowledge Base Article 1323322
- Crystal Reports Registry Keys location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE : Applies to all users on the computer.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER : Applies only to the user currently logged on the computer.
Most of the Microsoft Registry keys found in the table below can be set in both locations.
If both location keys are set, Crystal Reports will take the value from HKEY_CURRENT_USER
- Microsoft Registry Keys base path for each version of Crystal Reports:
- For Crystal Reports 2013, 2016: ( 32bit )
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\ (on 64 bit OS)
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\ (on 32 bit OS)
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\
- For Crystal Reports 2020: ( 64bit )
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\
- For Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 and above:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0 (on 64 bit OS)
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0
