Develop application to match current runtime

[larry_huisingh]

We have a third party application that uses Crystal Reports for their reporting. The runtime version that the application installer has installed is 13.0.30.3805. We have an application I am developing that will need to use Crystal Reports as well alongside the third party application. How do I set up my dev environment to create an executable that will run with the above specified runtime? I am using Visual Studio 2019 and I am developing for 32-bit.

If you go to the Crystal for VS wiki, there's are a couple of links for downloading the SDK. The first one gets you the latest, the second one (origin.softwaredownloads...) gets you to older versions. Set the drop-downs as shown below and click on "Go".

Scroll down in the list to look for SP30. You need the "Install Package" to get the integration with VS for your application development. Most of the other SP30 downloads are the various installs available for the runtime.

When you run the .exe that is the install package, be sure to right-click and select "Run as Administrator". Also, the wiki has links to all sorts of information, including licensing and sample code.
