I live on an island in the bible belt in the Netherlands.
A joke I've heard a lot is that the bus that goes to this island is the bus to the past, or a time machine travelling back in time.
That joke now turns out to be pretty accurate.
I want to get rid of a dumpster (we get two dumpsters, one for vegetable- fruit- and garden waste, and one for other waste).
So I go to the website of my municipality and when I want to fill out the form I get a warning that no dumpsters will be collected in the last week of 2015.
I guess we DO live in the past after all

Don't you just hate it when your customers are more up to date on their machines than you are?

The dreaded conversation.
(developer, in a superior tone) : okay, you need to use the latest version of ABC. I am on 11.7. You need to update to that.
(customer) : I am actually on 12.1. Looks like you need to update.
(developer, very meek now) : Oh! uhm yeah, you are right. ahem, I'll get back to you on this.
(customer) : chortle
Just being anecdotal here (friend of a friend etc.), this never happened to me.

With me it was...
They: Are you using v14?
Me: No, I'm using v15.
They: We haven't certified that yet.
In reference to database drivers.

Be careful. Windows 10 is broken on my Asus UEFI-Motherboard. I dont know the exact cause, but it is nasty
Press F1 for help or google it.

What are the symptoms, if you don't mind my asking?

So, I fire up the test rigs and let them install the latest batch of windows updates...restart You didn't mention the error message. This is not an answer. But I think you have to check Processing Jobs Limit[^] .... which is last line of my Tip/Trick[^]

Well there ya go!
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

When in doubt Run Process momitor.
Possibly look at a Path Length issue (how long is the string path?) or the path itself (does it have access permission still to the path ?).
Are you using a %path% variable, or C:\User\JoUser\Documents type of output path ?
Happy hunting

It's user choice. The error is happening now when the browse destination is supposed to appear. This is all handled internally by the viewer control. For now, I have them printing to a pdf printer as a workaround. Thanks.

If running Win 10 check the KB 3135173 update..

Setting a single property somehow cleared my entire object leaving it in an invalid state that could never be made right.
After searching in the deepest and darkest corners of the interwebz I found out I had to set that property using a whole different API (had to add about six references to set a single property), go through some very obscure classes and properties, get a reference to some dictionary, and then set the value of some string key. And all of that had to happen in a very specific order, because if I got a reference to B before getting a reference to A my object would be invalid again. Way to go Crystal.
It's a few years back, but I remember commenting my code "the programmer who made this must've been drunk and drugged!" and that was the most serious comment I ever wrote
None of that was a joke, a matter of speech, or an overreaction. That was how it actually was...

I can sign that sentiment as well.
When we started using Crystal Reports we had a scaling issue, the support was non existent and the was literally hundreds and possibly thousands of people having the same issue.
Three versions later it still wasn't fixed and we swapped to Devexpress.
Their product wasn't really ripe by that time and we had quite some issues actually, but what a support! They really tried to fix everything for us by the next day, and either gave us a workaround or a fix with the returning mail.
