Crystal Viewer 2016 .NET Assemblies

[jsstern]

I installed Crystal Runtime 2016, but I need to add the .NET assemblies to our project in order to use 2016 as my default Crystal Viewer. I don't see them available when I choose Add. Where can I find them? Is there a .dll that contains the Crystal assemblies that I can point our application to?

Unlike earlier versions of Crystal, the .NET SDK no longer is packaged with the desktop software. Instead, you need to go to the Crystal for VS wiki at https://help.sap.com/docs/SUPPORT_CONTENT/crystalreports/3354091173.html to download the packages. You'll need two things:

1. The "Installation Package" .exe file that provides the integration with Visual Studio. After downloading, you need to run the .exe "as Administrator" for it to install correctly.

2. One or more runtime installs that are at the same SP level (currently SP 34) as the install package. This will NOT be installed on your development computer. They are for use only when deploying your application.

Also look at the various options in the menu on the left of the screen - there are a number of pages that will help you get started. There are changes from earlier versions of the SDK.
