CS for Visual Studio 2022 - Crystal Report ReportViewer missing in Tools

[dimgar]

Hi, I installed on my Windows 11 22H2 with Visual Studio 2022 the package downloaded from SAP site:

and went in Visual Studio. I have a WPF project but ReportViewer is missing in the Tools controls. I tried to create a new WPF project but the situation is exactly the same. Someone can explain me what to do (I already tried 3 times to uninstall completely and reinstall the pgm)? I also tried to add manually the control in the toolbox but I received the following msg:

Thanks in advance

Hi Dimitri,

First issue is CR for VS doesn't and never will support any framework higher than 4.8, at least at this time.

CR is old technology and requires the full Framework versions due to COM and other C++ dependencies.

I discussed with R&D and due to those dependencies there is no way to support CORE Frameworks, unless Microsoft figures out a way to bridge them, but I doubt that will ever happen.

Note sure about the WPF viewer in 64 bit, it should work as long as you change the Framework to 4.8.1

Note: I have not tested this so not sure if there are any issues with the 64 bit WPF viewer. Note many people using it so R&D hasn't spent a lot of time updating it to match the WinForm Viewer.

When you ran the .exe to install the SDK, did you right-click on it and select "Run as Administrator"? If not, you need to do that to get everything to register correctly.

Yes I have done the installation as Administrator. Looking on the WEB I was wondering if Crystal Report is compatible and usable in a WPF C# .Net 6.0 project... If not I have no idea of what to do.
