Crystal report RunTime visual studio 2017 with report developed with crystal report XI

[former_member608583]

Using Crystal Report XI and Visual Studio 2012 everything worked properly, the moment we switched to Visual Studio 2017 Community we have the following problems:
• If we work on computers with VS 2017 installed and Crystal Report XI no problem
• If the compiled install it on Win 10 or Win 7 client, everything does not work, we tried installing CRRuntime_64bit_13_0 from 17 to 24 without success

Your runtime version MUST match the version you used to compile the application - you can't just update the runtime and expect the program to work. Also, when the runtime is installed on a computer, the installing user must have local admin rights on the machine where it's being installed so that the registry settings are added/updated correctly.

Crystal XI is old and has been out of support for around 10 years. However, the only differences in the internal structure of the .rpt file are for features that have been added in the newer versions. So, there should be no problems running XI reports in the newer SDK.

What is the specific error that you're getting and where does it occur in your code?
