Crystal Reports 2013 - dot net 3.5 errors

[Former Member]

Hi All

i have a vb application created in visual studio. i am using Crystal reports 2013 on my development pc

the client pc has my application and the CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_17 installed.

on a windows 7 pc i have no problems

on a windows 8 pc i need to goto control panel and install the dot net 3.5 WCF components or use a offline application i have downloaded

on a windows 10 pc i have no option but to install via control panel and let it download via the internet or use the windows 8 dvd. i have failed to find an offline application to bundle with my installation.

is there anyway for me to get rid of the dot net 3.5 dependancy ?

thanks

Hi Shaun,

I moved your post to the .NET forum.

All we can do is tell you what dependencies we need, how you get them install is a question for Microsoft.

Found this using Google:

How to instal .Net Framework 3.5 on Windows 10 - Microsoft Community

See if that helps...

thanks don!

is there nothing i can do from a dev point (either in crystal reports or visual studio) to change so that my reporting requires dot net 4 instead of 3.5?

would changing to crystal reports 2016 resolve this issue ?

The SDK assemblies use the earlier version of .NET, so even if your application doesn't, you still need it for the SDK to work.

Correct Dell, All of the CR dependencies are still using 2.0 framework and so it's a basic requirement.

We are moving to VS 2015 compiler so I expect at some point we'll have 4.0 as the base but until then it will be required.
