With the increasing number of versions of Crystal Reports and Visual Studio .NET, there is some confusion on which Crystal Reports runtime needs to be distributed with which version ofVisual Studio .NET (VS .NET). In this article, I want to clarify what MSM or MSI files belong to which version of Crystal Reports and which of these will work on VS .NET 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2008. I have also added supported Operating System field as well as supported framework for each version of Crystal Reports. As each version of Crystal Reports has its' own specific runtime which must be correctly deployed, it is critical that the deployed runtime be in agreement with the Crystal Reports assemblies for Visual Studio .NET referenced in your project. Also, note that the CR.NET component relies on COM Interop for the backend report processing engine. It is therefore imperative that all runtime deployments are done by use of the MSM or MSI files. XCopy deployments are not supported, nor will they work.The following matrix is a summary of runtime information for Crystal Reports from Version 9.1 for VS .NET 2002 to version 2008.
Crystal Reports gives you numerous formatting options for printing report sections for specialized purposes. Jan 03, 2019 With the increasing number of versions of Crystal Reports and Visual Studio.NET, there is some confusion on which Crystal Reports runtime needs to be distributed with which version of Visual Studio.NET (VS.NET).
Please note; any comments are very appreciated. However support queries or questions regarding details of deployment should be submitted to the 'NET Development - Crystal Reports' forum
