CRVS2010 Beta - Crystal Reports for VS 2010 in November???

[Former Member]

Hey guys,

are you serious??? You told us that the finished version will be released in July!!! We are working with VS 2010 and just because of you guys we are not able to deploy our applications via Click Once. How could it be, that you are that slow? I really have to say, that it was much better, when Crystal Reports was shipped with Visual Studio. Who had the silly idea to change that method?

I think we are not the only company who is waiting for you to at last release the new version and now it''s even later? This is no good avertisment for you and we will change to another reporting as soon as possible...

Thank you for nothing!

Good afternoon.

I can understand the frustration and we definitely realize that our delay is causing some pain for quite a few of our customers and partners. To be blunt, we are just not happy with the size of our runtime size, which is why we have introduced this delay until November. The current runtime size of the release is very high compared to today's runtime, the expectation of the market, and our own standards. As such, we are working to reduce this. In the meantime, we will be deploying a Beta 2 release in August, which will be a full featured release, but will include the larger runtime size. I understand that this is not production grade software as we are labeling it as beta; however, it can be used for developing, testing, and qa'ing your applications. As far as production deployment goes, it will, unfortunately, need to wait for the November release.

I am more than happy to setup a time where we can chat over the phone about the challenges that this is creating for you and your organization. Please feel free to give me a call (678 575 8916).
