Question:  Mike, we recently upgraded to Sage 100 ERP (formerly MAS90)version 4.5 and are now getting a Crystal Error: Failed to load the Crystal Print Engine {crpe32.dll} {err/ret=2/0} occurred on line 140 in program SWCOCX. What do we need to do to fix this?
Crystal Reports MAS90Answer: This is an important question, because several of our customers have experienced the same problem. We thought original this could be resolved by reinstalling the workstation but that is not the case here. This is an environmental computer issue that is causing the problem and possible resolution is explained below. This should be done by someone that is familiar with your computers, an IT person or the system administrator:
Add the correct path to the Windows system variable.
