Crystal ActiveX Viewer - Manual Install

The first things you will need is the ActiveXViewer.cab file usually found somewhere on your server if you have an application that uses it. I haven't found it easily downloadable, not sure why?

Once you have the file, follow the instructions below on how to manually install the ActiveX viewer.

a. Check to see if the following three files Exist on the Client
- CRVIEWER.DLL
- SWEBRS.DLL
- SVIEWHLP.DLL

b. If they exist, then un-register the files:
- Regsvr32 /u pathtofile\filename
- Rename each file to .OLD

c. Copy these three files from the server to the client’s windows\system32 directory
- CRVIEWER.DLL
- SWEBRS.DLL
- SVIEWHLP.DLL

d. Register each file.
- Regsvr32 pathtofile\filename
