We were given source code from another agency for a dot net project. There are many references to Crystal Reports libraries. Using NuGet in Visual Studio 2015 I'm able to download what's needed. The app will compile, but there are runtime errors. Probably a better install is required than NuGet provides.
The following were downloaded
CRRedist2008_x86.zip
CRRedist2008_x64.zip
CRBasicVS2008_redist_x86.zip
CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0_15.zip
Each of these packages were installed, then uninstalled. In the x86 program files folder, either SAP Business Objects or Business Objects, there is the file Crystal_Runtime2008.txt. In that text file is listed CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll, but that DLL is never found on the machine after installation. NuGet does however download this DLL. Code in the project references the following:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section
I think CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0_15.zip is the best to use, which contains an MSI install file. Looking in the MSI file the following is found:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Eng.29EA69AC.DC02.41DC.A6CA.91F78919EC40, among others
It's there. Why won't it install? I need help getting the correct libraries installed. Running Windows 7 64, Visual Studio 2015. Thanks
