Crystal Reports XI Runtime Installer


by Peter van Mil

The only supported way to deploy Crystal Reports XI applications using the Report Designer Component (RDC) is using merge modules. In this document is described how to make a Windows Installer based setup package, that does nothing more or less than installing the Crystal Reports XI runtime to run a VDF 11.1 sample report. I have used the following tools: Crystal Report XI Developer Edition, updated merge modules, Orca and Installer2Go.

Crystal Report XI Developer Edition


For developing RDC based applications you need Crystal Reports XI Developer Edition or Crystal Reports XI for DataFlex. Both versions copy the necessary deployment files on your PC. CR XI for DataFlex includes the Connectivity Kit for Crystal Reports, that supports native DataFlex files.

Merge Modules


Business Objects put all the necessary files and settings for the Crystal Reports XI runtime in merge modules. Merge modules are components, that can be included in Windows Installer based packes. Crystal Reports XI needs the license keycode to be included in the installer, so I isn't possible to convert somehow the four merge modules into one installer.
Updated merge modules are available at http://support.businessobjects.com/fix/merge_modules.asp. Copy these files to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules.

Orca


Orca is a Windows Installer package editor provided as part of the Windows Installer SDK. You will find it by looking for PSDK-x86.exe in Google. The title of the download site is confusing: "Windows Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK Web Install". When you install PSDK-x86.exe you will find Orca.Msi at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Bin. Install it and you will have a shortcut to Orca.exe.

With Orca you can open the file CrystalReports11_RDC_License.msm. It is tempting to change everything that is possible, but it might be better to change just one thing: the license keycode. In the left pane you can choose for property and in the right pane you can set the value of PIDKEY. This isn't the serial number, but the code with the format XXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXX. Orca saves the code in the merge module.

Fuse And Wiring Diagram For 6400 John Deere Tractor 2021 -

While there is no 2021 model of the John Deere 6400 , this popular utility tractor was manufactured between 1992 and 1998. If you are looking for information on a 2021 John Deere tractor, it is likely a different model, such as the or , which replaced the 6000 series.

For owners of the classic John Deere 6400, understanding the electrical system is key to maintenance. Below is a guide to the fuse locations and general wiring for these models. Fuse Box and Electrical Guide

The electrical system on the John Deere 6400 is a 12-volt system. Most fuses are located in the main load center for easy access.

Location: The fuse panel is typically located inside the cab, often on the right-hand console or behind a panel under the steering column. Fuse Identification: Lights & Indicators: Often protected by 10A or 15A fuses.

Engine & Fuel Solenoid: Critical for starting; typically a 10A fuse.

Hydraulic Controls: Found on models with electronic lift controls (ELC).

Relays: Larger components like the starter or high-beam lights use relays, which are often grouped next to the fuse block. Wiring Diagram Overview fuse and wiring diagram for 6400 john deere tractor 2021

The wiring for the 6400 series is divided into several main harnesses:

Engine Harness: Connects the alternator, starter motor, and temperature/oil sensors.

Cab/Console Harness: Handles the instrumentation, lighting switches, and climate controls.

Transmission/Hydraulic Harness: Used for shifting solenoids in PowerQuad models.

For a specific, high-resolution wiring diagram tailored to your tractor's exact configuration (e.g., ROPS vs. Cab), it is highly recommended to consult the official John Deere Technical Manuals. You can search by your serial number to ensure you get the correct diagram for your specific production year. TractorData.com John Deere 6400 tractor information

Important Note: The John Deere 6400 model was originally manufactured from the early 1990s to the early 2000s. There is no 2021 model year 6400. If you have a 2021 tractor, it is likely a 6R series (e.g., 6210R, 6240R). However, if you own an older 6400 (built ~1993-1998) and need a fresh diagram for 2021, the information below applies.

Below is the fuse and wiring guide formatted for printing.


Part 1: Fuse Box Location & Layout

The John Deere 6400 has two primary fuse boxes:

  1. The Main Cab Fuse Box (Behind the Right-Hand Kick Panel):

    • Location: Enter the cab. Look at the lower right-hand side near your right foot (beside the transmission tunnel/console).
    • Access: Remove the plastic kick panel (usually held by two quarter-turn screws or plastic clips).
    • Function: Controls lighting, wipers, indicators, HVAC, and computer power.
  2. The Starter/Chassis Fuse Box (Under the Hood): Part 1: Fuse Box Location & Layout The

    • Location: Open the hood. On the left-hand side (driver's side) near the firewall, attached to the inner fender well.
    • Function: Contains high-amperage fuses for the alternator, glow plugs (if equipped), and main ECU relay.

Complete Guide: Fuse and Wiring Diagram for the 6400 John Deere Tractor (2021 Model Year Update)

Introduction

The John Deere 6400 is a legendary workhorse in the 6000 Series, known for its reliability, fuel efficiency, and robust hydraulic system. However, even the most dependable machinery can suffer electrical gremlins. For owners and technicians operating a 2021 model year iteration (typically a late-production or specially-ordered unit before the 6M series takeover), understanding the fuse box layout and the core wiring schematic is critical for troubleshooting.

This article provides a detailed breakdown of the fuse panel, relay locations, and a generalized wiring diagram for the 6400, with specific notes for models manufactured or updated around the 2021 timeframe.


1. Fuse Box Layout and Accessibility

The John Deere 6400 utilizes a centralized fuse panel located behind the right-hand side console (operator's right side). This was a standard design for the 6000 series tractors.

  • Pros: The location is relatively protected from the elements (dust and moisture) compared to open-dash layouts on older tractors. The fuses are standard blade-type (ATC/ATO), making replacements easy to find at any auto parts store.
  • Cons: Accessibility can be frustrating. To properly access the fuse box, you often have to remove the side panel or unscrew the console cover. This makes troubleshooting "live" circuits difficult because you cannot easily see the fuses while sitting in the operator’s seat.
  • Reliability: The fuse block itself is robust. However, on a tractor this age (25+ years old), the plastic retaining clips on the fuse box lid often break, leaving the fuses exposed to dust.

2. Wiring Diagram Complexity

The wiring diagram for the 6400 is complex but logically structured. It is divided into distinct systems: Lighting, Ignition/Key Switch, PTO/Solenoids, and the Instrument Cluster.

  • The "Multi-Function" Problem: The 6400 wiring harness is notorious for "spider-webbing." Unlike older tractors where one wire ran from Point A to Point B, the 6400 uses multiple junction points and splices buried within the main harness loom.
  • Common Failure Points:
    • The Key Switch: A very common issue on the 6400. The wiring connector behind the key switch melts or corrodes due to high amperage draw. This causes intermittent electrical failures (gauges dying, starter not engaging).
    • Grounding Issues: The main ground strap connects to the chassis near the battery/starter area. If this corrodes, you will experience "ghost" electrical issues—lights dimming when the PTO is engaged, or fuses blowing randomly.

Part 3: Wiring Diagram Overview (Key Circuits)

While a full wiring diagram is 15+ pages, here are the three most critical circuits for troubleshooting a 2021-era 6400.

Technical Guide: Common Fuse Assignments (6400 Standard)

Note: Always verify with the specific sticker on your tractor's fuse panel cover, as assignments changed based on optional equipment (cab vs. ROPS).

| Circuit | Fuse Rating (Amps) | Common Issues | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Ignition/ECU | 15A - 20A | Blows if the starter solenoid shorts. | | Headlights | 20A | Check the circuit breaker (often a metal button on the dash or near the fuse box) if lights fail; fuses rarely blow unless a wire is grounded to the frame. | | PTO Solenoid | 10A - 15A | If this blows, the PTO will not engage at all. Check the PTO clutch coil for resistance. | | Cab/HVAC | 20A | High load circuit. Often upgraded by previous owners to 30A, which is dangerous and can melt wiring. | | Fuel Solenoid | 10A | Critical. If this blows, the tractor will crank but will not start (no fuel delivery). |

Crystal Reports Runtime


The end result is the installer Crystal Reports XI Runtime with a size of more than 70 Mb. Leaving away several option (export filters, etc) doesn't result in a smaller size. The installer doesn't include the Connectivity Kit for Crystal Reports. If you want to test a report, take the report "Crystal - Address Labels in the orderentry sample of Visual DataFlex 11.1.
