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.

First of all, this issue has nothing to do with the installation of SSDT. I have the lastest version installed, at the time of writting this.
My issue is that the SSIS package was written some time ago using, I think either VS2005 or VS2008 as I was using Windows 7 with the lastest SSDT package fro the time, and I now need to open it up to view the workings.
I am now using VS2019 on Windows 10, again with the latest SSDT package, and studio refuses to open the project.
Unsupported
This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects. The project types may not be installed or this version of Visual Studio may not support them.

- Contessa.SQL.SSIS, "G:\Work Stuff\Solution\40 SQL SSIS\TestSolution.SQL.SSIS\TestSolution.SQL.SSIS\TestSolution.SQL.SSIS.dtproj"
Non-functional changes required
Visual Studio will automatically make non-functional changes to the following projects in order to enable them to open in Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1. Project behavior will not be impacted.

I have found the answer and it had nothing to do with the SSDT installed.
After finding this article.
visual-studio-2019-open-solution-file-incompatible
It explains the need to make sure that the SSIS Extension is enables. In my case it needed to be installed.
This occurred because I had installed various versions of SSDT which caused Visual Studio to need me to reinstall.
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.

Were I work we are currently using visual studio 2008 because 2010 did not include the bids stuff, I have now been asked to test out whether 2012 is any better so we have a virtual machine that I've been allowed to work on and we've got visual studio 2012 and 2012 integration services installed on it.
I tried to open one of our solutions which has various report projects in it. When I do this I get a one way upgrade option which I chose and then I get the following:
Projectname.rptproj: The application which this project type is based on was not found. Please try this link for further information: link
This link doesn't work properly and I can't seem to find very much on this for visual studio 2012 am I missing something here? Thanks in advance for any help.
Microsoft has recently released the tools necessary to open and create .rptproj projects in VS2012: Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012
According to this, it appears that you have to install the client tools for VS2012 (from the SQL2012 installer) in order to get the BIDS bits. Incidentally, installing VS2012 client tools will apparently update both VS2010 and VS2012.
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,
After more search I downloaded the latest version of Crystal Reports for VS2010 (Support Pack 5 (v. 13.0.5.x)) and it worked fine for me. Here is the link to download crystal reports

As mentioned on the website - "To integrate "SAP Crystal Reports, the developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio" into VS 2010 or 2012, you must run the Install Executable.

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.
