[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have my application developed in VS2005 . When i am trying to print i am getting the following error:

+"Please install the appropriate Crytsal Reports redistributable (CCRedist.msi) contaning the correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64, or Itanium) required. Please go tohttp://www.businessobjects.com./support for more information."+*

I am using Windows 8 64-bit OS.

Can u please guide me through the steps i need to follow to resolve this error.

Below is the screen shot of the error for reference.

Thanks in advance.

CR for VS 2005 (v. 10.2) is not supported on WIN 8. See the following:

http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/b4JiAw

Just in case you want to try the runtime deployment anyhow, the links to the runtime are in this Document.

Please note that if this does not work after installing the correct runtime, you will have to upgrade to a version of CR that officially supports WIN 8 (see the above referenced wiki).

Hi Ludek,

I installed the correct runtime and it worked.

Great to know that CR 10.2 will work on WIN 2008. Just the same, for anyone looking at this, do proceed with caution. If at all possible, it is always advisable to use a version of CR that supports the OS.
