DOCUMENT:Q272693 31-JUL-2001 [iis] TITLE :0x80004005 ASP Error Occurs with Crystal Reports 8 PRODUCT :Internet Information Server PROD/VER::4.0,5.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbiis500prod2web kbProd2Web ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Internet Information Services version 5.0 - Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When you use a DSN to connect to a database, you may receive an Active Server Pages (ASP) 0x80004005 error message. This can occur when you have installed Crystal Reports 8. CAUSE ===== This is a known issue that occurs when IIS or any other application creates and attempts to use a System DSN after the installation of Crystal Reports 8. For more information, see the following Crystal Decisions Knowledge Base article: http://support.crystaldecisions.net/library/kbase/articles/c2007581.asp (http://support.crystaldecisions.net/library/kbase/articles/c2007581.asp) The Crystal Reports installation modifies the permissions for the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ODBC\odbc.ini registry key and its subkeys. The Everyone group's permissions are changed from Special Access to Full Control. When you create a new System DSN, it does not inherit the Windows NT default permissions, or the new permissions created by the Crystal Reports 8 installation. Instead, the subkey for the new DSN receives permissions for two user groups: - Local Machine\Administrators -- Full Control SYSTEM -- Full Control Only the permissions for Administrators are set, and no permissions are set for the Everyone group. Therefore, only users with Administrator rights can access the System DSN. RESOLUTION ========== Download and run the fix from the following Web site: http://support.seagatesoftware.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/scr8_webregfix.exe MORE INFORMATION ================ Description of the Fix: The Scr8_webregfix.exe update resets all existing permissions in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ODBC\odbc.ini registry key (and all of its subkeys) to the Windows NT default permissions. It also resets sections of the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Typelib subkeys to the Windows NT default values. Any new and existing System ODBC DSNs now inherit the Windows NT default permissions. Version 8.0.0.84 requires that the Everyone group is set to Full Control and cannot connect to a System DSN by using a Special Access (default) registry permission level. The updated P2sodbc.dll file (version 8.0.0.85) is required to connect to a System DSN by using the Windows NT default registry permissions. (For example, the Everyone group is set to Special Access.) NOTE: The P2sodbc.dll issue also applies when version 8.0.0.84 is distributed to computers that do not have Crystal Reports installed (for example, as part of an application previewing a Crystal Report). For more information, see the following Crystal Decisions Knowledge Base article: http://support.crystaldecisions.net/library/kbase/articles/c2007612.asp (http://support.crystaldecisions.net/library/kbase/articles/c2007612.asp) This fix also resolves the following SQL Server error messages if the System DSN has been set after Crystal Reports was installed: Infinite logon to the database Error 20599 - Cannot open SQL Server Error 599 Error - An error has occurred on the server in attempting to access datasource For more information, see the following Crystal Decisions Knowledge Base articles: http://support.crystaldecisions.net/library/kbase/articles/c2007612.asp (http://support.crystaldecisions.net/library/kbase/articles/c2007612.asp) http://support.crystaldecisions.net/library/kbase/articles/c2007701.asp (http://support.crystaldecisions.net/library/kbase/articles/c2007701.asp) REFERENCES ========== For additional information, click the article numbers below to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q266621 PRB: Error "Library Not Registered" with Crystal Reports 8.0 Q268553 PRB: Visual Studio Installation Problems Occur If Crystal Reports 8 Is Installed See also the following Crystal Decisions Web sites: http://support.crystaldecisions.net/homepage/ (http://support.crystaldecisions.net/homepage/) http://support.crystaldecisions.net/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/P2sodbc8.zip.asp (http://support.crystaldecisions.net/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/P2sodbc8.zip.asp) Additional query words: iis 5 crystal reports 80004005 ====================================================================== Keywords : kbiis500prod2web kbProd2Web Technology : kbiisSearch kbiis500 kbiis400 Version : :4.0,5.0 Issue type : kbprb Solution Type : kbpending ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
