Where do I download the crredist*.msi files for Visual Studio 2005 and CR

[Former Member]

I've created a VS 2005 application that uses the CR viewer control. When I run the application, the app generates an error message. It states that I need to install the appropriate CR redistributable (crredist*.msi). Shouldn't this file be on the CR cd's?

If not, where do I download it? The development pc has W7 64 bit. The user pc's will have WinXP. I'm using VS 2005 and CR XI R2 Developers Edition.

Thanks,

I've found and downloaded the file. I've ensured that crystal reports is registered and the registration number is keyed.

I'm still receiving the same error when I try to open the report. Is there anyone that can help me?

The error is:

An error has occurred while attempting to load the crystal reports runtime. Crystal reports key permissions are insufficient or the crystal reports runtime is not installed correctly.

This info was listed in the original post.

Anyway, I found the solution at the link below.

The recommendation is to explicitly target 32 bit processers when building your assemblies. Go to Project Properties, Compile, Advance Settings then change the Target CPU from its default "Any CPU" to "X86." Those of you who have been building VS apps on a 64bit machine for a while are probably familiar with the need to explicitly target X86. This article, "Windows & the World of 64-Bit Computing" (http://www.ddj.com/hpc-high-performance-computing/184405994), has some helpful insights on developing .NET apps on an X64 computer.
