1428226 - How to make the Embeddable Report Designer Control work with Windows 7

The following issue was resolved in the Crystal Reports .NET Development forums.

I am using Crystal Report XI in both Vb6 and VS2005. I am using the COM controls in both. The CRViewer and the Embeddable Report Designer Control. This has been working in XP fine. Not so good in Vista or Windows 7. I am upgrading to Crystal Reports XI R2 Sp6. For viewing reports in VB6 and VS2005 this working fine.

I know that the Embeddable designer no longer exists in future Crystal Report versions or in the .net versions.

In VS2005 the Embeddable Report Designer Control does not work in windows 7.

Is there anything new that needs to be in the code then in the previous versions? What do I need to do to make the Embeddable Report Designer Control work with windows 7 correctly?

Also I will need the merge modules for Crystal Reports XI R2 Sp6 for both the .net and RDC. Are they avalible?

I need to be able to modify reports within the application. My clients have to be able modify existing reports to match state and federal laws and rules.
