1425374 - Unable to launch a Crystal report in Windows 7 64-bit

The following issue was answered in the Crystal Reports .NET Development forum:

We have report template created in Crystal Reports 11.
 
On client's machine, the crystal report runtime 11 is installed to view the report.

All works well in x32 machine.

We recently decided to install a client version on Win7, x64 machine.

I am AWARE that CR 11 is NOT SUPPORTED for x64 bit machine.
I have installed and tried the following runtime:

1. CR10.5, CRRedist2008_x64.msi (64 bit Intel)
2. CR2008 Sp2, CRRuntime_12_2_mlb.msi

The report did not launch and there is no error message generated.
