Crystal Reports Runtime for VB6 from 2005

[#1]

Hi all,

Does anyone know where the older archived Runtimes are located? I have a project which I inherited which uses Crystal Reports from 2005. The VB6 project builds these files in the Setup.lst and Crystal Reports is part of this package. However, I am trying to convert this to an InnoScript MSI. I have several files I try to register but they wont.

Crpaig80.dll

Crpe32.dll

Crxf_pdf.dll

Crxf_rtf.dll

Crxlat32.dll

So, does anyone know where the Crystal Reports Runtime for VB6 (from 2005) can be found? I dont want to install the full blown Crystal Reports 8.5 on each machine just to view these reports in the VB app. (By the way we are scheduled to upgrade this application in 6 months to 1 year so please don't tell me to upgrade the application - it is massive and requires 1000's of hours of development time.)

I'm pretty sure it's not available through SAP, which is the third owner of Crystal since 8.5, which was produced by Seagate Software. If you have the Developer version of Crystal 8.5, I believe the runtime .msi file or merge module should be part of the installation. It's been almost 20 years since I've used that version, so I don't remember where it is under the install, though.

FYI - when you do upgrade here's the link to the latest CR for VS installer and redist packages:
