I have been downloading for hours all the service packs, hot fixes, fix packs and chasing my tail for way too long on this.
I keep getting errors about a file being out of sequence.... I assume there is a very loooooong list of fixpacks that need to be applied!!! This is such a nightmare.
Is there a simple way to just install the latest version of 2008 Crystal Reports?
If I have to follow a long sequence of updates, is it written down anywhere?
The reason for this in the firstplace is because I moved to Visual Studio 2010 with .Net 4.0 framework and now none of my crystal reports work.
I am using the full version of Crystal Reports 2008 installation, not the one built into Visual Studio
HELP!!!!!!
All you need is the latest Fix Pack or Service pack, they are cumulative and include all N-1 fixes.
As far as VS2010 is concerned - check CR 2008 supported platforms guide first. Maybe that version is not supported yet in any of the fixes and you need to downgrade VS , rather than upgrade CR 2008.
The latest available Service Pack for CR 2008 is Sp2 and latest availabe Fix Pack is Fp2.6. Fp2.6 requires Sp2. SP2 can be installed on top of CR2008.

When I try installing SP2 it starts the update and just locks up... no errors... just sits there. I let it sit for about an hour.
Is it compatible with Windows 7 ?
When I tried installing a fixpack, I kept getting errors that a file was out of sequence. I will try uninstalling all of Crystal and just reinstall in this order:
1. Crystal Reports 2008 from CD
2. Install Crystal Reports 2008 SP2
3. Install FixPack 2.6
This is what I tried the first time and got all the errors, but I will try it again... is this correct?
(I don't need to install SP0 or SP1 or any other Fixpacks.... Correct?)
I just found a Crystal for 2010 BETA forum and I am downloading it. Apparently there are known issues with Crystal 2008 and Visual Studio 2010.
In Crystal 2008 and Visual Studio 2010, I don't get compile errors, it gives me errors setting the datasource to a dataset. It tells me there is an invalid connector in the report. I use an XML connection type inside the report, then in VB.Net, I set the dataset as the datasource when running the report.
