Hi Raymond,
It's your lucky day.... CR for VS is now managed as a separate download that plugs into Visual Studio 2010 to 2015, SP 21 or so will support VS 2017 or what ever MS calls it...
It should simply update the references when you install into VS and open your project, check your references though, sometimes VS doesn't update the app.config file. And the Viewer may need to be deleted and re-added from your form. And don't browse to CR assemblies, use the .NET tab to add them.

Do not install the runtime on your DEV PC, all redist packages are for distributing the CR runtime ONLY.
First link is for the installer into VS, all other are redist.
We still have dependencies on VS 2005 C++ Security runtime also.
We are moving to updated 2015 Compiler but a few bugs in the framework and other dependencies are delaying this.

Hi Guys,
CR 2016 does not have any SDK deployment runtime requirements when using CR for VS.
Yes CR for VS still has a dependency on the VS 2005 C++ SECURITY runtime package, not just the basic one, must be the security update.
There are also .NET 3.5 dependencies so that needs to be there also.

We have had an audit exception for our workstations running Crystal Reports 2013 since April of 2016 when VS C++ 2005 went end of life. We have not upgraded to the latest version of Crystal Reports since that time since we are told the latest version still has this dependency. Please provide an update on when this dependency will be removed.
