I have Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 installed. When I work on our old projects, it asks if I would like to upgrade Crystal Reports. I don't want to upgrade Crystal Reports on our old projects, ever. How do I get the window to not open? I am completely OK with breaking the upgrade feature 100% if that is what is required.

Thank you.
Check this post from SAP. Apparently there is an issue if you have runtimes from older versions installed.

I installed Visual Studio Preview and it works fine but recently I saw this in their release notes and it says
This release is not "go-live" and not intended for use on production
computers or for creating production code. For instructions on
installing and updating Visual Studio 2019, see this documentation on
updating Visual Studio 2019 to the most recent release.
so if I want to write production code do I need to install another stable version too(it takes more space)? and I'm happy with this version cause it's cool and sometimes can try preview versions of new technologies/frameworks.
and What I'm not able to do exactly with this preview version?
The not having the "go-live" just means that Microsoft is not guaranteeing support if used in production environments, because it contains pre-release/beta features and/or libraries. Meaning if you deploy production code from a non "go-live" preview version of VS, you're on your own and can't call Microsoft for support/issues.
Occasionally, Microsoft will issue a "go-live" preview version (particularly with Release Candidates) that they will support.
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.
I have installed full version licensed Visual Studio 2010 Professional, .Net 4.0 on my system. Now I am trying to install Active Reports 6 on it and facing the error "no compatible version of visual studio net found on system". My Active Reports build is 6.0.1.1797.0.
So, do I need to install framework 3.5 before installing? I have not installed Service Pack for visual Studio for now.
Thanks.
Active reports 6.0.1797.0 does not support Visual Studio 2010. Active reorts 6.1.2577 or later supports Visual Studio 2010. And any how, Express edition of visual studio does not support active reports.
So my solution, enhances...I installed the later versions...but unfortunately I am getting some errors in my application because of Active reports version change as my application was made in previous version of Active Reports. So, what I did is, installed the latest version, uninstalled it and again installed 6.0.1797.0 version, and it was installed successfully and my application was also working fine.
#rapsalands...You are correct in understanding that support for Visual Studio 2010 started only after build 6.1.2577.0 was released. Also express edition of Visual Studio is not supported. The first thing to note here is that whenever you install/uninstall ActiveReports 6 from your machine, there should be no running instance of Visual Studio as it affects proper integration of ActiveReports with itself.
Also the errors which you were getting are more likely appearing because of the incorrect references in your project. Whenever you open an existing project after upgrading ActiveReports build, you should remove all the ActiveReports references from the project, re-add them (making sure they point to the version currently installed) and finally rebuild your project.
I think you can also check the blogs for ActiveReports as you might find some useful information about different topics there.
Today I had to reinstall. I used to have some hotfixes installed for VS2008 but no longer have them and can't remember why they were necessary. I'm expecting any security-related hotfixes to come through Microsoft Update, but I'm interested in VS bug fixes.
Does anyone have a list of hotfixes that they recommend installing for Visual Studio 2008 SP1?
You can find them all here:
http://kbalertz.com/Technology_639.aspx
Look for the ones with a "FIX" prefix.
Update: This is another good source of information about VS2008 updates.
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Project/ProjectDirectory.aspx?TagName=Visual%20Studio%202008&ProjectSearchText=Hotfix
Suggested hotfixes (links updated 4/2015):
KB957912 - Update for Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Debugging and Breakpoints
KB958502 - JScript Editor support for “-vsdoc.js” IntelliSense doc. files
KB960075 - VS Dev Environment crash after undocking windows or changing layouts
If connecting to TFS 2010:
KB974558 - Forward Compatibility Update
KB980216 - Error message when running unit tests with Forward Compatibility Update installed
Complete list of VS 2008 hotfixes (including TFS).
I recently rebuilt my machine. After installing Visual Studio 2008 and SP1 I was wondering about the same thing. In the end I used Windows update to check for updates and it found the following updates:
KB2465361
KB971092
KB72222
KB973675

All the VS2008 hotfixes are posted in the MSDN Code Gallery. You can search for tags "Visual Studio 2008" and "Hotfixes". You should only install the ones for problems you are actually having. Read through them and decide which ones you need. I would sort them by release date and install from older ones first. Also notice that some are included in other updates, such are the WPF designer hotfix included with the Silverlight tools.
I'm using Microsoft Connect - Visual Studio and .NET Framework as a source of updates for:
.NET 2.0+
VS2008
VS2010
I generally go with the ones that are pushed though Microsoft Update.
I thought that you can get bug fixes though Microsoft Update too.
If they don't come down automatically go to the site and look through the "Software, Optional" ones (or in the "Developer Tools" section).
Select Custom at the first screen and then wait a few minutes while it does it's scan.
However, there aren't any showing for me at the moment so I can't say for sure.
I had Visual Studio 2008 and 2005 installed on my machine , unfartunately i have to install VS.NET 2003 on it to work on an old project. However after the installation now my VS2008 projects are not compiling as they are unable to resolve the .NET core namespaces. I trying reinstalling .NET 3.5 and VS2008 but it still giving me the same errors while building the solution.
anybody had such experience and any tip to solve it?
strangelly VS 2005 is working fine and it means its working fine with .NET 2.0 deployments however its causing issue with ASP.NET MVC project in VS 2008 which is certainly using .NET 3.5 and yes i have given a try to reinstallation as well
rifferte is correct in that it's safest to install in the other they are released.
Probably the best thing to do at this point is to repair your Visual Studio 2008 installation. You can do this through the Control Panel -> Add Remove Programs menu. This should fix the issues you are seeing.
I think you should try the advice here:
http://channa.gunawardena.org/2008/12/installing-visual-studio-2003-after.html
Basically - you actually have to reinstall the framework outside of VS. That being said - the best advice is to always install VS editions in the order they were released.
