TC Reliance Video Scheduling Software Version 6.0:
Instructions for updating Sun Java and Crystal Reports
in order to access TCR

The TC Reliance scheduling software has been upgraded from version 5.0 to 6.0. In order to access TCR be sure your computer is running the most current version of Sun Java and the latest ActiveX Viewer for Crystal Reports. You will be unable to access TCR without verifying and/or ensuring these updates are on your computer. The instructions for making these updates are listed below.
CAUTION: Editing and deleting entries in the registry is highly sensitive. Deleting the wrong entry may seriously impact the functioning of your computer’s operating system. It is strongly advised that you consult your local IT help desk before proceeding. You may also call the IVN Help Desk for further assistance (701-777-6486).

I. Sun Java Installation/Upgrade

Be sure you are running Java 1.5 or higher. You can download the latest client version from www.java.com or perform an update from your existing client version.

II. Configuration of ActiveX Viewer for Crystal Reports

A. Remove old ActiveX Viewer DLL files and registry entries

Step 1) Open your Internet Explorer web browser (remember TC Reliance does not work via Netscape or other Internet browsers). Click on Tools then Internet Options.
Step 2) On the General Tab, click the Settings icon found in the Temporary Internet section. Click on the View Objects icon located in the lower right corner of the window.
Step 3) By clicking the View Objects icon, you will open a directory of files. Look for a file that contains the words Crystal Report Viewer. You might find Crystal Report Smart Viewer 7 or Crystal Report Smart Viewer 9. In any event, if you find a file with the words Crystal Report Viewer as part of the text, right click on the file and delete it. If it is not there continue with the next step.
Step 4) Close your Internet browser
Step 5) Go to the Start menu; click on Search; click on For Files and Folders; and click on All Files and Folders. Search for and delete the following files:
a. Crviewer.dll (or Crviewer9.dll if you are using Crystal Reports version 9)
b. Sviewhlp.dll
c. Swebrs.dll
Step 6) Go to the Start menu; click Run; type “regedit” in the Open: box; and click OK. The Registry Editor will be displayed.
Step 7) In the Registry Editor, on the Edit menu click Find; type “crviewer.dll” in dialogue box; and click the Find Next icon.
Step 8) If you find a registry key, delete it by right clicking on the file and selecting delete. Continue clicking Find Next until the computer finishes searching through the entire registry. (please note: files with the word “Default” in the name cannot be deleted).
Step 9) Repeat steps 6 to 8 for the files “Crviewer9.dll” (if you are using CR 9 or CE 9), “Sviewhlp.dll,” and “Swebrs.dll.”

B. Download and Install New ActiveX Viewer

Step 1 Open Internet Explorer and log into TCR. Attempt to view any report from the Reports menu. If you are prompted to install the new ActiveX Viewer, click Yes to install the viewer. Retry displaying any report.

If a report appears, congratulations – you have completed the process and do not need to proceed with the rest of these instructions. However, if the report does not appear, you will need to manually install the new ActiveX Viewer by proceeding to the next step.

Step 2) Download the attached file “ActiveXViewer.cab” to your computer and extract its contents using winzip to a temporary folder.
Step 3) Move the files “Crviewer.dll” “Sviewhlp.dll” and “Swebrs.dll” to the c:\windows\System32 folder. Keep this folder visible.
Step 4) Go to the Start menu; click Run; and type “regsvr32” in the open dialogue box
Step 5) Drag and drop the Crviewer.dll file icon from the System32 folder onto the Run dialog box. Click OK.
Step 6) You should receive an acknowledgement that says “dll register server in c:\windows\system32\crveiwer.dll succeeded.”
Step 7) Repeat steps 4 to 6 for the files “Sviewhlp.dll,” and “Swebrs.dll.”


This completes the process and you should now have full access to TC Reliance.
