2003458 - Crystal Reports .NET Runtime application slow to load with no internet access

Application developed for users in Visual Studio .NET who have no internet access may see a delay when the application is first run.

• Visual Studio 2010, 2012, 2013
• Crystal Reports Developer for Visual Studio

With the updates to Microsoft security and DLL having to be Digitally Signed if you do not have Internet access this can introduce delays in the application start up.

This functionality is fully documented in Microsoft's articles:
