***NOTE*** It will be understood why in a minute, but we will call the new version of CR “Version 13” and the old version “Version 10”. The 32bit and 64bit client runtimes are available at the link provided above. NET Framework you use to build your project. NET Framework 4 installed on their computers. This means that our customers will be required to have SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for. Now, any project that you compile inside VS2010 that uses CR will use the new version of Crystal, even if the project was originally built in VS2008 or prior. You will want to use the first link: SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010 – Standard (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE VS2010 INSTALLED FIRST!)
Unfortunately, the relationship between Microsoft and SAP ended with Visual Studio 2010 so when you open it up you will notice that there is not any CR tools.Įven though CR is not included with VS, you can still download CR for VS2010, for free, as a separate install.
Visual Studio(VS) editions older than VS2010 had Crystal Reports(CR) included out of the box.
