    Posted: 01 Sep 2008 at 2:19pm
Just bought the book.  Great!  In the Preface you recommend downloading R2 and provide a link.  The link no longer words and user is directed to the SAP site.
I registered there and was presented with a list of downloads, but don't see the original Release 2.  Lots of Hot fixes and Service Packs up to 4.  If I install SP 4 I assume it contains everything I need, but hoped for confirmation.
Have you or anyone tried this on the original XI version?

Johntron Vr ((hot))

I will cite the sources I have opened, such as the Wikipedia page for his general background, the episode list for the Resident Evil VR episode, the episode.ninja and IMDb pages for the VR Troopers episode, the Next Episode page for the Virtual Reality Mukbang episode, and the VRCW.net pages for the VRChat worlds.

Unlike traditional gaming, where a player sits still, VR demands physical movement. JonTron utilized this for peak visual comedy. Whether he was flailing his arms wildly to fight virtual enemies or tangling himself in the heavy cords of the first-generation HTC Vive, the contrast between the virtual world and his real-world awkwardness was hilarious. 2. The Surrealism of "Job Simulator"

Jon Jafari, known globally as , stands as a foundational titan of YouTube gaming commentary. Over the last decade, his channel shifted from classic retro game reviews to high-production comedic exposes.

The possibilities on Johntron VR are endless, with a range of experiences that cater to different interests and preferences. Some of the experiences you can expect to enjoy include:

When virtual reality (VR) began its modern resurgence in the mid-2010s, it was a landscape defined by technical tech-demos, corporate optimism, and deeply awkward control schemes. It was a world practically begging for satirical deconstruction. Through a series of dedicated videos, JonTron did not just review VR hardware and software; he captured the exact collective cultural consciousness of what it felt like to strap a heavy, glowing screen to your face and peer into the uncanny valley. johntron vr

VR is moving beyond gaming into fields like health and education, with future trends pointing toward lighter headsets and AI-driven experiences. However, the current "primitive" state of VR is exactly where Jon thrives.

, the show recycled action scenes from various Japanese series, leading to jarring transitions between American actors and their armored counterparts. The "Virtual" Gimmick

The article will be structured with an introduction, a background section, detailed sections on each VR episode, a section on his VRChat presence, a section on the significance of his VR content, and a conclusion.

. While he typically critiques obscure video games and bizarre educational films, one of his most memorable deep dives into the world of technology—or at least the 90s television version of it—is his episode on VR Troopers The Quest for Virtual Justice Released as the season four finale of The JonTron Show I will cite the sources I have opened,

JonTron frequently points out the awkwardness, glitches, and technical hurdles of VR, making the experience more relatable and comedic.

Jon Jafari, known universally online as , stands as one of the definitive pillars of YouTube gaming comedy. Emerging from the early 2010s Let's Play boom and co-founding Game Grumps , Jafari eventually carved out a massive solo niche characterized by high-production cinematic reviews, surreal sketch comedy, and unfiltered reactions to the bizarre corners of pop culture.

to interact with a virtual world while simultaneously engaging in a "mukbang" (eating broadcast).

In 2019, JonTron took a massive, unexplained hiatus from regular uploads. When he returned, the tone of his show had shifted. The frantic, high-energy "gamer" persona softened. A chaotic, screaming VR video may have felt like a regression to a style he was trying to evolve past. Whether he was flailing his arms wildly to

The following essay explores the intersection of internet personality Jon "JonTron" Jafari

His technical difficulties resonate with anyone who has tried to troubleshoot a PC headset.

[Traditional Let's Play] -> Raw Gameplay + Facecam Reactions [JonTron VR Special] -> Scripted Skits + Green Screen Integration + Cinematic Framing

As Jax looked out at the thriving community, he knew that Johntron VR was only just beginning to realize its potential. The platform would continue to evolve, with new features and technologies being added all the time. And as the world continued to change, Johntron VR would remain at the forefront, empowering users to create, connect, and explore in ways that were previously unimaginable.

What separates a JonTron VR video from a standard "Let’s Play" creator's approach is the sheer scale of production. JonTron rarely just sits in front of a camera with a headset on. Instead, his videos feature:

I will give it a try.  I didn't think it was clear, either.  I never saw the plain old XI R2.  I think SP2 is the first one available, but I will check again.  I did see the dreaded incremental.  I thought I would try SP3 first since hopefully, it will contain everything up to that point.  Will let you know.  Thanks!

I downloaded and installed R2 and then downloaded and installed SP3 and SP4 from SAP site.  Reporting back as requested.

I am having one issue.  When I open the app or any report not stored in the Workbench, Windows Installer comes up and then I get a Wait While XI configures R2.  This takes 10 minutes and I get java prompt pop ups with java.exe running in a window.
 
Does anyone know how to fix this?
 
Sure would appreciate.
Also, downloaded your training reports for the book, Brian.  Missing Chapter 10.  Is there one or did I lose it somehow?
 
Thanks again.

I found the download of R2 with SP2 here: http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crxir2.asp. The zip file is 1.03 gigs. It sounds like I should hold off on installing SP3 and SP4.

I am going to uninstall SP4 and see what happens.   If it continues, I will uninstall SP3.
It is very annoying!
 
If anyone is successful getting rid of the issue, please post and I will do the same.

I just installed R2 with SP2 and I've been getting the Windows installer problem. Once I get Crystal Reports open, I can open anything I need to, but the installer wants me to do nothing else while it's doing its thing.

I had this problem when I was writing the XI book. The only way I got rid of it was to uninstall CR XI from my computer and then install the R2 download as a clean install. It is a full install and doesn't need XI to be on your computer beforehand. Then the installer nightmare went away.  johntron vr
