I had a project in VS2008. It was deployed without a problem. However now I need to make some changes and upgraded that project to VS2012 (because VS2008 is not working).
In that project I have a Crystal report, but I am not able to open that in VS2012. When I open the report, all I see is numbers and letters.
Also tried deploying it on client machine; it just shows the report viewer and Crystal report is missing.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this, or do I need to build whole crystal report from scratch?
SAP updates their drivers from time-to-time, to work with newer versions of Visual Studio.
Here is their landing page, with the current driver and a list of all older drivers:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
Here's a direct link to the latest installation package (SP9) for the Visual Studio IDE:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio
I'd close Visual Studio while installing the driver, but you shouldn't need to reboot afterwards.
Make sure you install the "install executable" (exe) file, not one of the msi files. That won't integrate Crystal into VS, as they mention on that page:
Please note: To integrate "SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio" into VS 2010 or 2012 (SP 7 and higher) or VS 2013 (SP 9 or higher), you must run the Install Executable. Running the MSI will not fully integrate Crystal Reports into VS. MSI files by definition are for runtime distribution only.

I want to install RDLC on Visual Studio 2017, but when I try to download it from this link: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ProBITools.MicrosoftRdlcReportDesignerforVisualStudio-18001
it gives me an error, if this addition has been deleted I hope you give me an alternative to RDLC, except for Crystal Report
Sorry about my bad English.
You can refer to the following steps to install RDLC by using another way.
First,VS Tools->Extensions and Updates->search rdlc report online in the textbox->choose
Microsoft RDLC report Desginer and Microsoft Reporting Services Projects-> Click install.
Here I have installed them.
Second, you need to restart the vs2017.(remember close all the vs opened windows)
Successfully installed.
Finally, after install it successfully, you can see that Report and Report Wizard is now
available in the Visual Studio 2017.
I developed a WinForms Application that use Crystal reports and Visual studio 2019.
but when I moved my application to another PC without Visual studio installed,I tried install Crystal reports on the PC but got error:
"you must already have visual studio 2010,visual studio 2012,visual studio 2013,visual studio 2015,visual studio 2017or visual studio 2019 installed to proceed with this installation".
How do I install Crystal reports on the PC without installing Visual Studio?
You can not install crystal report developer version on deployment machine (PC without installing visual studio). So you have to install crystal report runtime version on second PC if you are not installing the visual studio on second PC.
These are some links where you can download the appropriate runtime version of crystal report for your application.

I have problem with Crystal Reports. I am using Visual Studio 2015 and Crystal Reports 13.0.5, Windows Server 2012 R2.
Runtime works fine, but I can see only hexadecimal code when I'm trying to open rpt files in designer. Thing is I can't change version of Crystal Reports, because every app is written on this version.
I have tried to find solutions in internet with no success. Also I have tried to reinstall both runtimes and dev version many times.
Any ideas what might be an issue ?

To work with Visual Studio 2012 you need SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio - Service Pack 6 or higher.
See this for a quick look-up of all Support Packs, Fixed Issues and Distribution File downloads available for SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio.
I have installed Visual Studio 2010,it doesn't include crystal Reports,so i downloaded SAP Crystal Report externally from MSDN and installed SAP Crystal Reports
When i open Visual Studio 2010 i am unable to design existing .RPT files, but when i run an application existing Reports opens
so what can be reason that i cant design .rpt files?
You probably need to install Crystal Reports For Visual Studio 2010 on your developer machine as well as Runtime Engine.
There are actually two versions of Crystal Reports provided :
- Crystal Reports Redistribution Version.
- Crystal Reports For Visual Studio.
Be sure that you have downloaded the right one.
If the problem insists try to uninstall CR and clean registry and all stuff and then re-install again.
Hope it helps
