I have installed the run time - Miscroft Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7, 64 bit. What files do I need to cause Crystal Reports to open when it encounters a .rpt file?
I did download and install Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (CRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0_3.zip). But when I double click to open the .rpt file, I get message of unknown file type and choose the program I want to use to open the file. There are no files under the win64x64 directory from which to choose an executable. How do I tell it which executable file to use as the viewer? Do I need to put certain .dll files in the System file or something?
You have to add the report file to a .NET project. When you double click on it there, you will get a CR Designer inside the .NET IDE.
If you want a stand-alone CR designer, then you need to obtain CR 2008 or CR 2011. An eval of CR2011 is available from here.
Please note that CR2011 does not include any SDK. One way to think of this is that Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (CRVS2010) is the SDK for CR2011.
I am not real familiar with Visual Studio. I have installed the Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010, but I cannot find where I can execute Visual Studio to launch it in order to create the .NET project. Supposedly, it was packaged as part of the install. I have looked in the SAP BusinessOjects directory and subdirectories and all of the Microsoft directories, but I don't see it.
