Crystal Reports files do not display properly.

[HiroshiHagiwara]

古い開発環境で作成したレポートファイルをアプリケーションの保守サポート用に開くと、16進数のような文字列しか表示されません Visual Studio SP21のCRを再インストールしても解決しません。Visual Studio Professional 2017を使用しており、OSはWindows 10です。

When opening a report file created in an old development environment for application maintenance support, only hexadecimal-like strings are displayed. Reinstalling Visual Studio SP21 CR does not solve the problem. I'm using Visual Studio Professional 2017 and the OS is Windows 10.

Go here and get SP 36, CR for VS is only supported with the latest release:

See my blog on upgrading:

Upgrading a Visual Studio 2008->2022 .NET project with the latest CR .NET SDK packages

It sounds like you are not using a TrueType Unicode supported font.

Thank you very much for your helpful response. I appreciate the link and the recommendation regarding SP 36. I will follow your advice and ensure that I’m using the latest release. I also appreciate your input about the TrueType Unicode supported font. I will check my font settings and make the necessary adjustments. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!
