How I get the "SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio SP5"?

[k_okura]

Sorry if my text is hard to understand because I'm not good at English.

Well, the main subject is as follows.

Now I'm modifying old application in business.

This application uses CRforVS version 13.0.5.891.

I'm looking for the way for download the CRforVS_13_0_5.exe because it is not there is in my environment.

Please tell me how to get the "SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio SP5", or is there no way?

Thank you.

That version of the SDK is very old and is no longer available. Also, it used Flash for parameters and Flash is no longer working in many places. Your best bet is going to be to upgrade to the latest version of the SDK, which currently is SP33. There is information in the wiki about how to upgrade to the latest version of the SDK, because there are some code changes you'll need to make.

Thank you for your information.

I have some concerns about updating the SDK to the latest version. For example, will the report layout stay the same?, latest version runtime must be installed on devices that actually use the app and etc.

So, I would like to discuss these issues with others.

Thank you very much Dell.

The report layout should stay the same. Also, there have been MANY security updates in the 10 or so years since the version you're using have come out.
