What should be taken in consideration when installing SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio

Resolution

  • If you have an issue in Crystal Reports for Visual Studio, you must test it with the latest Support Pack release. Any fixes would be released in a future Support Pack.
  • SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET does NOT support Express Editions of any version of Visual Studio
    As of SP 29 we now register the Assemblies into GAC using this folder: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly
    Previous versions were placed in this folder: C:\Windows\assembly
  • If you are using any third party applications (ie OEM) that use the SDK package Please check with the makers of the software and ask if they have tested with the version you are downloading. If they do not support it at this time do not install the package on your PC, it could break their application.
  • Installing the MSI will not fully integrate Crystal Reports into VS. MSI files by definition are for runtime distribution only. Do not run the MSI's on your Development PC, where VS is installed, not required.
