Hi,
I had VS2005 installed with Crystal Reports.
I had Visual Studio 2010 installed
In the GAC, there were entries for Crystal 13.0.2000 and for 10.2.3600.0
I completely uninstalled VS2005.
In the GAC then, I now only have entries for Crystal 13.0.2000
To make sure of everything, I uninstalled Crystal Reports again, and installed SAP Crystal Reports Runtime Engine 13.0.10.1385
Even with all other Crystals definitely out of GAC, I still get the error when loading with VS2012:
"Your solution was created using an older or unknown version of SAP Crystal Reports. Your solution will be converted to using the newer version of SAP crystal Reports for Microsoft Visual Studio"
Even when selecting "Convert the solution", this still occurs. (The solution is in TFS but it did not check out every RPT file)
In the Web.Config, I have ensured that all references are to Crystal 13.0.2000
All efforts have indicated that there are more than one Crystal Versions on my Dev machine, e.g. Crystal Reports for VS 2010 Keeps asking to convert how to stop it?
and Touch points to eliminate Crystal references from a solution in VS2010https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a3339147-d104-496b-92ab-953093c4f0d3/touch-points-to-eliminate-crystal-references-from-a-solution-in-vs2010?forum=vscrystalreports
I have made sure that every single reference in the project is to Crystal 13.0.2000
I followed this advice:
"
2) download the [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] utility and see if your project is loading any older versions of CR runtime"
but the helpfile indicates it is to compare 2 different environments - Im not comparing - I'm fixing a single environment and I dont know how to use the tool since I went through the whole list of "All processes" and "All DLLs", but dont see the Crystal DLL's listed there.
I thus have tried all the advice on the net, but still get the error.
How can I identify where Crystal is seeing the other version?
How can I identify which other version Crystal is seeing?
Do I have to go and re-save every single RPT in order to be updated to the new Crystal 13.0.2000?
Is there no log file that SAP writes which shows how Crystal made the decision to show this message, e.g. Conflicting versions found at location A and Location B?
e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\logging
