<a name="x_OLE_LINK2 My VB app will not work properly on a Windows 7 64 bit PC.<span>
When I launched it on<span> the Win7 PC it will open up OK but when I open a crystal report, the form page comes up ok but the report is missing.<span>
Then I get a pop up window asking me for a user name an PW:<span>

<span> <span> <span> <span><a name="x_OLE_LINK1 These are the steps Ive taken so far:
<span><span> Ive installed ::::
<p style=" <span><span> Assembly
<li style=" <span><span>Crystal setup<li style=" <span><span>dotnet – power pack<li style=" <span><span>vfp ODBC<li style=" <span><span>CRRedist2005x64.msi<li style=" <span><span>sqlncli.exe<li style=" <span><span>CRRedist2008x64.msi<li style=" <span><span>Added information to the ODBC data source administrator to connect to the dbf data files located in a local server.<span>
I named it “Xport” and use the “Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver” P.S.<span>
These steps work just fine in Windows XP and Windows 7 32-bit.<span>
I did remember to use the SYSWOW64 odbc. <li style=" <span><span>Turn off UAC <li style=" <span><span>Updated VB 2005 so that ALL updates and Service Pack were installed. Still no help!


<ol start="1" type="1" style="
<li style=" After Microsoft updates were installed, I re-published the App in question and problem still exist.
<ol start="1" type="a" style="
<li style=" I looked in my re-published<span> APP (Opened MY PROJECT) and scanned through References, Application files, and Prerequisites but I could not see anything that mentioned or required Window 7 64-bit.<span>
Still no help.</ol>
</ol>
<span style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt Change IIS – Application Pool – Default Web Site – Advanced Settings to: set…Enable 32-bit Applications to TRUE<span>
and PROCESS MODEL Identity to: NetworkService.<span>
It didn’t help so I changed it back.
<p style=" What am I forgetting?
<p style=" P.S. Im using developer on a XP machine.
