 Topic: Downloading R2 for XI Posted: 01 Sep 2008 at 2:19pm |
Just bought the book. Great! In the Preface you recommend downloading R2 and provide a link. The link no longer words and user is directed to the SAP site.
I registered there and was presented with a list of downloads, but don't see the original Release 2. Lots of Hot fixes and Service Packs up to 4. If I install SP 4 I assume it contains everything I need, but hoped for confirmation.
Have you or anyone tried this on the original XI version?

Incestlove Info - Russian Boy Mom Dad.avi Jun 2026
Complex families run on a pecking order of pain. The oldest child who had to raise the siblings. The youngest who was perpetually coddled and therefore perpetually incompetent. The middle child who is invisible. Any successful family drama storyline exploits these birth order dynamics mercilessly. When the family business is at stake, these childhood roles calcify into adult warfare.
Complex family relationships remind us that dysfunction is not a bug in the human system; it is a feature. We are bound to people we did not choose, filled with histories we cannot change, fighting for a love that is rarely fair. Great family drama doesn't offer solutions—therapy does that. Instead, it offers a mirror. And in that reflection, amidst the screaming and the crying and the silent treatments, we recognize the strange, sad, hilarious truth: we are all, in the end, stuck with each other. Incestlove Info - Russian Boy Mom Dad.avi
"Arthur," his wife, Sarah, whispered, tugging his sleeve. "Please. Not in front of the kids." Complex families run on a pecking order of pain
Furthermore, these stories offer a more sophisticated form of hope than a simple happy ending. The hope in Death of a Salesman is not that Willy lives, but that Biff finally breaks the cycle, rejecting Willy’s dream to “come out of the jungle” and find his own. The hope in Succession is not that anyone wins the company (no one does), but in the fleeting, final shot of Shiv, Roman, and Kendall sharing a silent, defeated look—an acknowledgment of their shared, irreplaceable loss. The family drama suggests that salvation is not a triumphant escape, but a clear-eyed acceptance of the damage. To see your own family’s patterns in the Lomans’ tragic miscommunication or the Roys’ corrosive power games is to begin the slow, painful work of understanding that you are not alone in your dysfunction. The middle child who is invisible

I will give it a try. I didn't think it was clear, either. I never saw the plain old XI R2. I think SP2 is the first one available, but I will check again. I did see the dreaded incremental. I thought I would try SP3 first since hopefully, it will contain everything up to that point. Will let you know. Thanks!

I downloaded and installed R2 and then downloaded and installed SP3 and SP4 from SAP site. Reporting back as requested.
I am having one issue. When I open the app or any report not stored in the Workbench, Windows Installer comes up and then I get a Wait While XI configures R2. This takes 10 minutes and I get java prompt pop ups with java.exe running in a window.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Sure would appreciate.
Also, downloaded your training reports for the book, Brian. Missing Chapter 10. Is there one or did I lose it somehow?
Thanks again.

I found the download of R2 with SP2 here: http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crxir2.asp. The zip file is 1.03 gigs. It sounds like I should hold off on installing SP3 and SP4.

I am going to uninstall SP4 and see what happens. If it continues, I will uninstall SP3.
It is very annoying!
If anyone is successful getting rid of the issue, please post and I will do the same.

I just installed R2 with SP2 and I've been getting the Windows installer problem. Once I get Crystal Reports open, I can open anything I need to, but the installer wants me to do nothing else while it's doing its thing.

I had this problem when I was writing the XI book. The only way I got rid of it was to uninstall CR XI from my computer and then install the R2 download as a clean install. It is a full install and doesn't need XI to be on your computer beforehand. Then the installer nightmare went away.
