How to install Crystal Reports without Visual Studio? - visual-studio

I am new to Crystal report and I am trying to install it so I can use it.
Is there any way to install Crystal Reports without having Visual Studio?

Yes. You may install the stand-alone version. But You will not able to use it since it uses Visual Studio Interface. You can install the Crystal Reports Viewer only.
Note 1: To integrate "SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio" into VS 2010 or 2012 (SP 7 and higher) or VS 2013 (SP 9 or higher) or VS 2015 RC (SP14) - VS 2015 (fully - SP 15), you must run the Install Executable. Running the MSI will not fully integrate Crystal Reports into VS. MSI files by definition are for runtime distribution only.
By default Windows 10 does not install the 3.5 framework, CR for VS still needs it. Select it by "Turn Windows feature on or off" and choose both options.
Note 2: SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET does NOT support Express Editions of any version of Visual Studio .NET. VS.
You can download all versions from: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824

If you want to develop a new crystal report, then you can use Developer Edition from the below link. In developer edition .exe, you require Visual Studio.
And, if you want to run crystal report on release mode without installing visual studio for the client, then you can use .msi file of crystal report runtime from this site. This file does not require an install of Visual Studio.
You can download this from following link.

Crystal report designer for visual studio 2010 on windows 10 is not working

I have windows 10 recent installed, when i install crystal report for visual studio 2010 CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_9 my app is working but the designer in visual studio 2010 is not working.
The report designer is working fine in windows 7.
You need the install executable to be able to design reports, not the redistribution. Link to the SAP page: https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Crystal+Reports,+Developer+for+Visual+Studio+Downloads

Report Viewer in Visual Studio 2015

I am developing an application in C# (Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 7 Professional 32-bit) and I want to incorporate a display of reports that can be printed and can be exported to PDF or Excel.
The problem is that the project running on .NET Framework 2.0 (need to be supported for Windows 2000, XP or minimum), and the Report Viewer and loses its consistency.
What version of Report Viewer must be installed to suit the Visual Studio 2015 and .NET Framework can work in 2.0? It's possible?
You will need the Microsoft Report Viewer Redistributable 2005 installed.
You can download and install it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21916

Crystal Reports for VS2012 - VS2013 - VS2015 - VS2017 - VS2019

I have installed VS2012 Ultimate on a fresh PC. I tried adding the Crystal Reports file in my project but there is no crystal report .crt Item avaliable into Add New Item menu of the VS2012
Is there a version for VS2012? or do I have to install an extra setup file for crystal reports which is redundant since I already have VS2012 installed.
Here it is! - SP 25 works on Visual Studio 2019, SP 21 on Visual Studio 2017
SAP released SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio
You can get it here (click "Installation package for Visual Studio IDE")
To integrate “SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio” you must run the Install Executable. Running the MSI will not fully integrate Crystal Reports into VS. MSI files by definition are for runtime distribution only.
New In SP25 Release
Visual Studio 2019, Addressed incidents, Win10 1809, Security update
This post is right from SAP on Sep 20, 2012.
In short, they are still working on a release of Crystal Reports that will support VS2012 (including support for Windows 8) It will come in the form of a service pack release that updates the version currently supporting VS2010. At that time they will drop 2010/2012 from the name and simply call it Crystal Reports Developer.
If you want to download that version you can find it here.
Further, service packs etc. when released can be found here.
I would also add that I am currently using Visual Studio 2012. As long as you don't edit existing reports they continue to compile and work fine. Even on Windows 8. When I need to modify a report I can still open the project with VS2010, do my work, save my changes, and then switch back to 2012. It's a little bit of a pain but the ability for VS2010 and VS2012 to co-exist is nice in this regard. I'm also using TFS2012 and so far it hasn't had a problem with me modifying files in 2010 on a "2012" solution.
There is also someone who managed to modify CR for VS.NET 2010 to install on 2012, using MS ORCA in this thread: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3235515 . I couldn't get it to work myself, though.
"SP25 work on Visual Studio 2019" is an exaggeration. It is extremely unreliable and should be avoided at all costs. I currently have to maintain a second development environment with V2015 for report development.

Crystal Report not working for Visual Studio 2010

I have downloaded and installed Crystal Report "CRforVS_13_0_4.exe" for Visual Studio 2010, professional edition. But it not seems to work with visual Studio. Whenever i try to open Tool Box window, OR try to add Crystal Report (.rpt) in to the project It gives me following error.
[Window Title]
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
[Main Instruction]
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 has stopped working
[Content]
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program.
[Close the program] [Debug the program]
I checked that as soon as "Crystal Reports Tool Package" loads in to the Tool Box this error pop out. I also monitored the files while installation and found that it seems that its 64 bit version. But i am haveing 32 bit win7 OS. But i couldn't find out 32 bit version.
I installed "CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0_3.zip" but, it not support designer. and i got .mhtml extension while adding crystal report(.rpt)
Thanks.Any input will be appreciated,

Have a look at
Support for Crystal Reports for Visual Studio
specifically looking at
Downloading the Crystal Reports that are compatible with Visual Studio 2010
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 no longer includes Crystal Reports in the
bundle.
In Visual Studio 2010, to create a Crystal Reports project or Web site
or to import existing projects or Web sites that were created by using
older versions of Visual Studio or Crystal Reports, you must first
install a version of Crystal Reports that is compatible with Visual
Studio 2010.
