Crystal report 2008 Redistribution Package

I faced a problem when I’m deploying new application developed with Visual Studio 2010 and Crystal Report 2008.

Error Message: 

Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

But I have installed Crystal report 2008 on client’s PC. 

Solution,

There is a redistribution package used to install. It doesn’t require installing Crystal report 2008 and this redistribution package is free of license.

Follow these links to download the packages.

Crystal Report Problems solving with Visual Studio 2010

CRVS2010 Beta - file not found error crdb_adoplus.dll  

An error when running the product when have installed CR 2010.

"Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:
Program Files
SAP BusinessObjects
SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0
win32_x86
dotnet1
crdb_adoplus.dll' or one of its dependencies.

Solution

Setting the useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy flag to True does "solve" the problem. However, that is a hack and not a true fix. In trying to create a purely .NET 4.0 application, the end user shouldn't have to add this flag to get an application to work. Hopefully someone at SAP will note this and fix it in the core Crystal Reports functionality before the final version for VS 2010 is released.

Add following section to your config file and it may resolve the issue. <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">   <supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/> </startup>

How to add Crystal Report for Visual Studio 2010

Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 will be released separately, instead of included with the product.

Follow this link to download Crystal report for Visual Studio 2010, http://www.businessobjects.com/jump/xi/crvs2010/us2_default.asp

Click this highlighted link, download and install. 

After finishing the installation you will not see any tool in the tool box. Then go to the “Project Properties” (if you have open new project in C#.net or VB.net) and find the Target Framework, you would see it as .Net Framework 4 Client Profile change this to be .NET Framework 4

Change as .NET Framework 4
 

When you change to .NET Framework 4 confirm it by click Yes

Now you can see Crystal Report Viewer in Tool Box.
