Problems w/Crystal Reports and 64 Bit machines

Question

I'm aware that this question may have been asked before, but I still haven't found any solution.

I have a .net application (.net 2005) with few reports done with crystal reports. My problem is that these crystal report print dialogue does not pop up in 64 bit machines.

I have found that This link but the problem is I do not write the code to pop up the dialogue box so that i cannot set UseExDialog to true. I have tried the service pack and many solutions proposed at the Internet but still no luck.

Pl Note that this is a windows based application.

Answer 1

This link solved the problem.

Steps are,

Make sure that app is compiled as 64 bit - not "Any CPU".

Make sure you are using SP1 for CR 10.2:

https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006007872008E/crvs05sp1.exe

Then look in c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\sdk\v2.0\bootstrapper\packages\crystal reports\CRRedist2005_x86.msi

for SP1 MSI and use that to deploy the SP1 runtime.
