Installing the SSRS Data Connector for CRM 2011 - reporting-services

I have installed Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011, Update roll-up 14 in my VPC.
While I try to install Microsoft Dynamic CRM Reporting Extensions using SetupSrsDataConnector.exe, I get an error saying,
Setup cannot proceed because an error occurred while copying installer files to the local system: The upgrade cannot be installed
by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded
may be missing, or the upgrade may update a different version of the
program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your
computer and that you have the correct upgrade For additional details
see logfile.
Does anyone know what is wrong? I tried several instances but they all don't work either. I can access my SSRS server by going to http: //SSRS-Server/Reports and it will give a list of all services running there.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Is there enough disk space for the installation?
Are you installing the update on the SQL machine or the CRM machine?
Are you installing the correct version? CRM 2011, CRM 2013? 64bit, 32bit?
Could you post the results from the log file?

Visual Studio 2012 Entity Framework don't have MySQL Data Source Type

I'm using visual studio 2012 and installed MySQL 5.7 and all the developer tools. After I added EF 6.0 etc from Nuget and try to link to my database, MySQL is not part of the available data source as depicted below.
I can however, see the selection when trying to add connection at Server Explorer. May I know if anybody knows how to fix it? What have I missed? Thank you.
Update 1:
These are what I have installed.
After trying with my local PC and my VM, I found out the problem. Since I installed mysql-connector-net-6.10.5.msi, it's not supported. At my VM I had installed the mysql-connector-net-6.9.10.msi instead.
After changing the local PC to mysql-connector-net-6.9.10.msi, I'm able to see the data source. Is MySQL trying to phase out the support in the future?

SSIS 2008 excel connection manager load xlsx file error

my system:
Windows server 2008 R2 standard.
visual studio 2008/SQL Server 2008
No Office installed.
When I try to connect to an excel (xlsx) file, I got this error when trying to select the name of a sheet.
TITLE: System.Data
------------------------------
The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.
Should I install Office (version?) to solve this or is there other solution?
I just worked through the same problem recently. The consensus of the research I conducted says that installing the following should resolve the problem:

However, if that doesn't work, you may need to install this as well:

You should not have to install the full blown version of Office on your server. (Besides the fact that doing so is poor practice.)

Getting error while installing SQL Server 2008

I am getting an error while installing SQL Server 2008. The error is like
SQLServer SetUp requires .NetFramework 3.5 to be installed
But .NET framework 3.5,SP1,VS2008 sp1 is already installed. I have checked in control panel also.
Because of this error I am not able to do daily tasks.
Please help me, where am going wrong?
Even though you install .NET Framework 3.5
sql server installer still ask you to install .NET Framework 3.5.
If you install sql server 2008 Standard ed in windows -server 2008 R2, .NET Framework 3.5 is already built in with windows.
Just go to server manager, click Add Feature and enable it. After that, you can install SQL Server 2008.
This bug had already reported to microsoft see here.
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/354980/sql-server-2008-setup-requires-microsoft-net-framework-3-5
and solution that helped was
The setup has been successfully completed after installation of .NET 3.5 Service Pack 1 (BETA) and Windows Installer 4.5. It was also nessary to install PowerShell after that.
Go ahead and download the required software and then try again installing.
I had the same problem.
In the installation folder you have some files and three folder (ia64, x64, x86). When I copied the installation folder of SQL Server 2008 I excluded the ia64 and x64 folder.
The solution that worked for me was to not exclude the x64 folder. Maybe it is possible you have missing files. I would download or copy the installation files again!

Cannot open .rptproj files in VS2008/BIDS

I have a problem. This co-worker, whenever they open a BIDS project it gives her an error message:
...cannot be opened because its project type (.rptproj) is not
supported by this version of the application.
However, if I remote onto the computer using my login, it opens stuff just fine. The thing is, it was working for them for about 8-9 months. It just 'randomly' started doing this today. It also gives a similar error when creating new report projects.
Do you have an idea what the issue might be? I'm thinking maybe it's a configuration in the user profile? I mean, the computer obviously can open it up- just not for them. Has anyone experienced this and resolved it?
We are using the BIDS suite that comes with SQL Server. It is VS2008, we are running SQL Server 2008 R2.
Thanks in advance.
From Solved: project type (.rptproj) is not supported by this version of the application:
Install "Business Intelligence Development Studio" from the SQL Server 2008 installer.
See Business Intelligence Development Studio 2008 installation for more information on the installation.

how to run crystal reports in ubuntu linux

This thread is an extension of the below thread.
Can't connect to MySQL for .NET application deployed in Wine using Ubuntu
The WineHQ db claims that it will run. However, if you do intend to target the Linux and Windows platforms, I would suggest a more cross platform compatible library.
I got the answer by my own after doing a small research.
The error was due the licensing problem of visual studio .net 2005. The following packages had to be configured in Merge Reports (i.e C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules)
Crystal_Managed2003.msm
Crystal_Database_Access2003.msm
Crystal_Database_Access2003_enu.msm
Crystal_regwiz2003.msm
And then we need to enter the license key while deploying the application correctly.
Later the following packages would be installed automatically when we run the deployed .net application in ubuntu linux
