Crystal Reports 2008 in SL 2015 gives missing 'u2lsol4' error

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

I've installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled Crystal Reports on two different PCs, and I get the following error when I load an SL report:

"The saved data will be discarded since one or more formulas failed to compile"

After the report loads, clicking either "Verify database" or "Show SQL Query" results in this error:

"UFL 'u2lsol4' that implements this function is missing."

I've tried the "fixes" mentioned in this forum and elsewhere, such as shortening the name of the default printer, etc., and nothing works.

The u2lsol4.dll exists in the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86", so I have no idea why it's flagged as missing.

I've spent HOURS on this. Any idea how to fix this?

    If you have not already, try copying that DLL to the Windows\System32 folder if running on a 32-bit OS or into the SYSWOW64 folder if running on a 64-bit OS.

    Hi Chuckles2013,

    To correct this you will need to copy the u2lsol4.dll from the C:\program files (x86)\common files\Microsoft shared\DynamicsSL to the C:\Program files (x86)\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12\win32_x86. If that does not work you will need to uninstall and reinstall the SL Client.

    To prevent this in the future you will need to install Crystal Reports first, then install the SL Client. The installation of Crystal Reports creates the path to were it will look for the dll for functions. Then when the SL Client is installed it is able to find that path and place the dll there, if the SL Client is installed first that path will not exist and you will receive the error you are running into.

    Ran into this for SL 2015 - We installed Crystal Reports to a non default location and discovered these directories to correct the issue:

    There is a directory on the C drive – when Crystal installs it creates a SAP BusinessObjects folder.  

    In Program Files (x86),\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0Win32_x86  you will find the U2lsol4.dll.  I copied that one back to the e:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory  and all was good.  

    I had to do that on each workstation that had Crystal Reports fully installed on it.  Both of these workstations had SL 2015 client installed first. So not sure if installing Crystal Reports first would avoid this issue.

    I am having the same issue 2015. I copied the dll to various places and now do not get error on RIPARAM in crystal when I load up the report. I still get the error when I try to run the report. I have tried running the regsvr32 from the syswow64 folder but get an error when I run this.

    Without reinstall this was my fix: 

    As local admin verify/copy The u2lsol4.dll in these two folders

    1. "  C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86" 

    2.    C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86

     Fom Control Panel, run Uninstall on  Crystal Reports, Right-Click and Choose "MODIFY"..(not repair)

    Click Next

    Drop-down from top "Crystal Reports" and choose "Entire feature will be installed on local Hard Drive"

    Click Next. Crystal will rerun some registry fix for the now located u2sol4.dll.

    END.

    Don't forget to be sure the dll is registered for the path in which the file sits.

    I opened a support case to resolve.

    I have been told that SL2015 and Crystal have conflicts so I had to do the following:

    Putting the Crystal .dlls into a Crystal folder usually works. Let’s try this and see if the issue persists: In the new Crystal folder locate the Tracelog-4-0.dll and copy it out into the C:\Windows\SysWow64 folder.
