Unable to locate WPF Components for Visual Studio 2013

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a WPF application written in C# using Visual Studio Professional 2013.  We've also got several dozen Crystal Reports which I just converted from version 8.5 to 14 using SAP BusinessObjects Crystal Reports Version 14.1.1.1036.

After installing Crystal Reports v14, I attempted to follow this guide:

... and it appeared that I did not have the necessary components, controls, etc. installed.  So, I went here:

... and I downloaded the 32-bit, 64-bit, and the click once, all for (v.13.0.12.1494)

My questions (I think) are:

Do we need to get a different Crystal Reports license?  IOW, should we purchase the Crystal Reports for Visual Studio?  Our only need is to launch the reports from the executable application - which I presume is accomplished through the WPF viewer.

ULTIMATELY => if I run all of the 32-bit, 64-bit and click once installers and the components don't appear in Visual Studio, what are the next steps?  Is there a way to diagnose what's missing?

Your help is much appreciated!

Thanks,

Aleks

SAP Crystal Reports does not install any SDK. So, you were close when you went to version 13.0.x download. However I have no idea what file yo actually downloaded. Note that you must use the install exe, not the MSI / MSM / ClickOnce as these will not add CR to VS correctly. See the section "Please note" in the bellow screenshot:
