crystal reports compatibility

[#1]

Thanks in advance for any help on this, I'm new to crystal reports and the compatibility. 

Currently I'm patching and upgrading applications & have the following:

Crystal 10 runtime Files 1.0.0.0

Crystal Reports 13.0.29.3671

Crystal Reports 8.5.0.2175

Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 10.2.0

Crystal Reports runtime engine for .Net [13.0.20.2339, 13.0.2.469, 13.0.29.3671, 13.0.1.220]

I need to upgrade these to the latest compatible versions possible maybe back to Visual Studio 2015 

Is there a download that will cover all of these?

Firstly don't mix runtime versions, it causes all sorts of problems for you.

Go here and get the latest SP 40 for CR for VS, note there are separate installers into VS for VS 2010->2019 and for 64 bit versions of VS 2022 and above.

Use the EXE to integrate into VS, MSI are installed so you don't need to install those on your DEV PC, for deploying only.

CR SP 40 now only supports 64 bit applications.

You can install the 32 bit EXE for VS 2019.

See my blog on upgrading:

Highly recommend upgrade CR Designer also, CR 8.5 is very old so most of it's dependencies are no longer supported by both SAP and Microsoft. You can get CR 2025 from here:
