Thanks for the links. I'm beginning download as we speak. I don't think I'll be disabling my AV... better safe than sorry right? 🙂

Anyway, salutations from ISC-Consulting.de

There are only 2 ways that you would be rejected from downloading the beta:
1) You don't accept the terms of the beta agreement.
2) You attempt to bypass the terms of the beta agreement and download without going through the terms form.

If you go through the beta terms & conditions form and accept it, you will be able to download.

Thanks, Blair

I just installed Crystal Reports for VS2010, but i still can't create crystal reports application in VS2010 IDE. Only display a .mht file that informed "Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 is a free download ... ..."
Is there must be configured first ? and how?

Please post this support question to the .NET support forum. There should be no configuration required after installing CR for VS 2010. Thanks, Blair
