How did you install the CR runtime on that WIN 8 computer?

What is the version of the CR assemblies being referenced by your project?

Is your app compiled as 32 bit, 64 bit, or "Any CPU"?

Please confirm that the app works on WIN XP, WIN 7 32 bit, WIN 6 64 bit and the issue is isolated to WIN 8?

Hi Ludek

I created both 32 and 64 bit setup for the application.

For 32 bit i used merge modules into de setup.

For 64 bit i used  crystalreport CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_2

I ' ve installed ifor 32 bit setup on win xp, win 7 32 bit and

for 64bit setup on win 7 64bit with crystalreport CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_2  like lruntime

and both setup has been compiled for x86 for 32bit setup and x64 for 64bit setup.

I just noticed that you are using SP 2 runtime. WIN 8 is only supported from SP 7. Download the SP 7 MSI and install that:

Hi Ludek

I tested the sp7 that you suggested, but it didn't work.

I send you an image of my 64bit setup that i'm using for install the application

for 64bit setup proyects you can't add merges modules to the setup proyect, so for that i use

crystalreport CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_2 for the installation.

Is there another situation that i forgot, configure something else...

thanks in advance for yoour help

You are correct in that you can not use merge modules as these only come in 32 bit. But you should be able to use the 64 bit SP 7 MSI:
