I have a VB desktop application that I converted to be a vb.net 2010 and updated the crystal reports from a link on this website where the url is: http:/scn.sap.com/people/coy.younce/blog/2010/11/12/crystal-reports-for-visual-studio-2010-production-release-now-available.
I now want to be able to open and edit the crystal reports where the name of the report has the extension of *.rpt. I have tried to open the reports in visual studio 2008 and visual studio 2010 and I am not getting the expected results. I am hoping that I will be able to open the reports in designer mode where I can edit reports.
When I right click on the report to use the custom tool, I get the error message, "Cannot find custom tool, 'CrystalDecisions.VSDesigner.CodeGen.ReportCodeGenerator' on this system. Thus can you tell me where I can obtain a copy of the item I am missing? I want to be able to edit the crystal report,
If not, would you tell me and/or point me t6o a link that will tell me what I need to do so I can edit the crystal report *.rpt files?
