I've been able to download support pack 8 for Crystal Reports Developer version for Visual Studio, however, when I try to install the SP, it gives an error when unpacking for install. The error comes after running the program and clicking "Install". The error is "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged Cannot open F:\CRforVS_13_0_8.exe".
I've downloaded several times from different computer and different browsers (Chrome and IE). I still get the same error.
Any advice?
I'm developing an in-house report viewing program in C# with Windows Forms, primarily using the CrystalReportViewer.
My development setup is Visual Studio 2012 Professional with Crystal Reports 13.0.7.
Reports are created by management personnel, then uploaded to a server. All office employees can then open the reports in our program.
One report is created with a custom paper size - 10" x 13" envelope.
Unfortunately, when opened in the Viewer, the report is somehow modified to be on letter - 8.5" x 11" paper. The envelope as a paper size is definitely installed on the computer opening the report. This isn't actually a problem for viewing the report.
However, I would like to print the report (to the default printer and on the envelopes) with only one button press - that is, without a print dialog. I have a form with a "Print" button, which takes parameter values before the Viewer form opens. For now, I have to open the Windows print dialog and get the user to select the custom envelope in order to print correctly.
I have attempted to print programmatically using both ReportDocument.PrintToPrinter (CrystalDecisions.Engine) and PrintOutputController.PrintReport (RAS).
PrintToPrinter either tells me that I have an invalid combination of arguments (Scaling and DissociatePageAndPrinterSize), or else the code executes properly just as the printer complains that it does not have letter-size paper in the manual feed (where the 10" x 13" envelopes are).
PrintOutputController seems to work at first, but then the report prints on letter-size paper.
In both cases, I can tell that the envelope as a paper size is being copied from the printer's size enumeration.
Is it possible to print with a custom paper size without a print dialog? If so, how do I accomplish this?
Could the first issue causing the second?
EDIT:
I had asked a similar question in the past, and received an answer. Unfortunately, the solution initially seemed to work, but after lots of testing I have come to the state described above.
Hello and and a happy new Year,
my question is like above; Will CRforVS work with Visual Studio 2012?
thank you

I am trying to install CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_8.msi on a Windows 8 64bit PC. I am getting an error, failing to register modules (crtslv.dll, pageobjectmodule.dll etc etc). Skimming through the errors the PC asks for a reboot after the install. I have run the Microsoft C++ Redistributable Package for x86 platforms and it didn't help.
Interestingly I have installed the same file on another PC which is exactly the same without issue although it never asked for a reboot. However on this PC when running my vs2012 application, which target framework is .net 3.5, the reports fail to load. The error: 'The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' threw an exception' shows. The application running on XP (32bit) and on a windows 7 (64bit) PC works fine.
So I have 2 issues. The install of the msi file on one PC and then the failure of the reports to load on the other PC.
Any help appreciated

Hi Team,
Suddenly few of the reports were failing with the error "Error in File ~tmp13707ceaeb48ba0.rpt: Error detected by export DLL:".
Daily Almost 30 to 40 reports were failing. Earlier all of them were running fine. Not sure what causes this error.
Could you please help us guy. Appreciate your help in advance.

Hi,
Happy New Year
System requirements:
Windows 8 Enterprise (System type: 64-bit - Operating System, x64-based processor)

I have just licenced and installed Visual Studio 2013 (version 12.0.21005.1 REL) and also licenced and installed Crystal Reports Developer 2013, Crystal Reports Viewer 2013 AND Crystal Reports For Visual Studio 2013 (CRForVS_13_0_7.exe), but it did'nt work. Are those systems still incompatible? What do I have to do to call a report from a C# program in VS 2013?
We are in a process of migrating a VB6/Sybase based system to .Net MVC4/Sybase. The system has few Crystal reports that needs to migrated as part of the effort as well. In the new System we are using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports DLL version 13.0.7 to generate the report.
The issue we are facing occurs when query/stored procedure returns certains values with negative Amounts. In the backend system, the amount column has data type MONEY and if the query/SP returns a negative value for the column, CR prints it as junk arbitrary number. All other values are printed appropriately with proper CR currency formatting.
-3.00 is displayed as 4,674,407,370,950.00
-1989.14 is displayed as 4,674,407,368,970.00
-1658.90 is displayed as 4,674,407,369,300.00
This happens only when report is generated via CrytalDecisions.CrystatReports. If we open the report via Crystal Reports 2008, the negative amounts are populated as expected.
Please advise.
Hello All,
I am using the CR 2010 version. I have a report that has about 5 subreports. When, I print the report it takes a long time. Is there a workaround to fix this? I look forward to hearing from you all. Thanks.

I'm not sure where to start, but I cannot deploy a windows app using click once that will include whatever it is crystal reports requires to run. I've taken over this application and don't have a full history on it. Here is some information on our setup and errors:
I can deploy click once and install it on client computer. However, when the application needs to access crystal reports I get an error loading crystal reports runtime. See attached image.
I do not want to upgrade to a runtime that we are not already using in our office.
Any help is appreciated.
Hi,
I am using Crystal Report in built with MS Visual Studio 2005, in design time the Hindi font is displayed properely
i.e. izekf.kr mikf?k
but at run time it is not displaying properely izekf .kr mikf ?k

I have tried following TTF for Hindii:

b) Richa Wide
Please suggest. We are not able to find any solution to this.

It happens to me when intialliz my winform app.
But i can't catch it now, don't know why.
I have a Visual Studio application (2012) which has been complied for .net 3.5 framework. When the application is running on Windows 8 PC, when I try to open a report to show in report viewer I get the error: 'The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' threw an exception' shows. The same application running on XP (32bit) and on a windows 7 (64bit) PC works fine.
I installed the latest Crystal 13.0.8.msi.
The rpt files are accessible.
Anyone have any suggestions

I am trying to deploy a vb.net application using Crystal Reports 2008 using Click Once. However, it fails with the above message. Examining the install log I'm seeing the following message:
Installing using command 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\msiexec.exe' and parameters ' -I "C:\Users\Vic\AppData\Local\Temp\VSD54F2.tmp\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_1.msi" -q '
Will attempt to elevate process.
Process exited with code 1603
The CR Engine version is 13.0.2000.0
I was able to install on a Windows 8 machine successfully but when I try to to export the CR report to a PDF file I get <appname> has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
I would appreciate any help I can get as I am really stuck in the mud
Thanks,

Just thought I'd take the time to post how much I hate Crystal, been 5 years since I worked on it and now all the memories are coming back. It's crashed Visual Studio 4 or 5 times so far today, I've lost my report once and had to restart it, fields randomly snap (or don't snap) to guidelines and it just generally behaves slightly different to every other tool I use. I'm about to go over my deadline for this part of the project which I thought would be the simplest bit....
AAAAARGH!!!!
Dear all
I am trying to create a simple console-based C# application that opens crystal reports and exports them as PDF files. I've found many examples for this on the web but I just can't get it to work. It compiles without errors/warnings but crashes at runtime.
I'm using Crystal Report 11.0.0.1282 and Visual Studio 2010 with .Net framework 4.5 on Windows 7, 64bit.
cryRpt = newReportDocument();
cryRpt.Load("test.rpt");
Then I get:
System exception: 'COMM_FAILURE'
Reason: error number WSAEINVAL
Completed: no
Minor code: 1330577413 (socket() failed)
If I then try to export the report:
cryRpt.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, "test.pdf");
The program crashes:
System.TypeLoadException: Method 'ISCREditableRTFExportFormatOptions_reserved5' on type 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.EditableRTFExportFormatOptionsClass' from assembly 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel, Version=11.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' is overriding a method that has been overridden.

Any ideas what might be the problem?

Hello there
Please note we are using the above runtime dll for our users for crystal report in VS2010. We noticed that some our reports not working to the users machine who has windows 7 x64 bit. Same report works fine in the windows xp 32 bit machine. Those reports have grouping and sorting.
I would to know what patch we need to apply so the reports work fine to the users machine? or is there any proper solution.? We use windows click once application.
Thanks

Hello,
We are using CR 2013 and the latest version of CR for VS 2012. Some reports were created using the earlier software versions.
In our company the users have different versions of Internet Explorer - from IE 8 to IE 11. As a result many users can see some reports only in browser Compatibility mode.
I wonder - is there a way to force the CR Viewer to display all reports in a particular compatibility mode - for instance, in IE 8 mode or something like this, so the users won't have to switch between compatibility modes all the time?
Thank you.
