Update on the CR for VS 2010 Release
November 5: The production launch is imminent. See Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 Launch Imminent for more details.
Updated November 3 2010 to be more specific about the production release.
Updated June 28 2010 to include the Beta 2 release.
Back in March when we first provided a schedule update, we expected the production release, along with runtimes to be available in late June.
Unfortunately we’ve encountered issues with the runtime size, and to address it properly we need to adjust the dates. ETA for the production release is now November 15 2010.
This was a hard decision for us, but the alternative was to release a runtime that was much too big to meet the market requirements. We know this is materially different from what was previously communicated and will force our customers and partners to adjust roadmaps and potentially their choice of reporting technologies. But it was clear if we continued on the path we were on, what we would ship would be poorly received due to unacceptably large runtime size.
The scope and features of the production release remain unchanged from what was previously communicated, described Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 Beta Update.
UPDATE: We can now confirm a Beta 2 release for early August 2010. This release will be feature complete, and include both 32-bit AND 64-bit runtimes. However the runtimes will be affected by the runtime size issue.
Thanks for your post.
We understand the need / desire for a preview release of the 64-bit runtime for testing / validation purposes. We're currently looking at that possibility; Blair and I will be sure to keep the audience of this blog updated.
With regards to getting help to get your deployment to run on your 64-bit machine in the mean time, the following whitepaper provides guidance and troubleshooting tips to this process.

I am one such Consultant, heavily depending on this particular component and my deliverables have taken a very bad hit.
Awaiting your response in this regard.
Is there a way to install the VS 2008 Crystal report editor on Visual Studio 2010 ? Or are all the VS2008 projects that used CR 2008 are to remain on VS2008 until november ? I dont know exactly what the new features are but for my level of report, I doubt I really need them, but If I cant edit the reports it's a bit annoying.
The developer components included with CR 2008 do not support VS 2010. You can use either CR 2008 or the beta CR for VS 2010 to modify your RPT files. If you have a choice of when to migrate projects from VS 2008, we recommend waiting until November, because that is when the runtimes with .NET 4.0 support will be released and formally supported.
Thanks, Blair
Can we use CR for VS 2010 Beta Release on production database up to November 2010? Or else, I assume there is no way I could integrate crystal reports with VS 2010 (up to November 2010)...
I did not know that the system would be rendered useless because I have no way of generating reports from my new system. I tried following the instructions to use the CR2008 runtimes, but each time I loaded a form, it threw an error and stopped.
Would it be possible to added to any email list you may have that notify designers of changes to the status of ANYTHING that may help with the deployment of software written that was intended to use Crystal Reports.
Thanks, Blair
Thanks, Lee
Thanks
Do CR for VS 2010 and Standalone Crystal Reports 2011 have any relationship? For example, if I install Visual Studio 2008, I get Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008. After this, if I install standalone Crystal Reports 2008 on a computer already containing Visual Studio 2008, I get additional features. Will there be any such scenario with CR for VS 2010 and Standalone Crystal Reports 2011?
what a shame!!!
I've installed full Crystal Reports 2008 with SAP integration kit. So when want using the connection features of SAP int. kit or other advanced features of CR 2008 Pro within VS 2010 espacially for connect to BW Query - it won't work.
Now and in future i have to use VS 2008 for that - did I understand that right?
Thanks,
Sebastian
Unlike today, this will be a completely standalone MSI and will have no dependencies on the CR for VS .NET 2010 runtimes.
If you're using BOE XI 3.X with your SAP integration kit, then yes, you have to continue to use VS 2008 with that.
Thanks, Blair

Just wondering if this issue will be fixed on Nov 2010 release?
SAP note 1435991 describes a cleaner solution that addresses the truncation problem. This was implemented after CR Basic for VS 2008 was released. This will be picked up in CR for VS 2010 and should be in the current beta.
To use note 1435991 with CR for VS 2010, modify the reg keys in the note to replace "Business ObjectsSuite 12.0" with "SAP BusinessObjectsSuite XI 4.0"

Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 and Runtimes Now Available
i use VS 2010 RC, and installed the CR Beta 2. When i try to create a new Crystal report there is only a notification (web page) to install CR for VS. Can you help me?
regards,
Ulhaak
Can you post this to the the support forums here:
Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 Beta - read before posting
I'm not sure if the RC version is supported by beta 2.
Thanks, Blair
I searched around and it appears that it wont run on VB2010 Spanish version.
If this is true, when will a Spanish version will be available???
TTKS A LOT
The installer is still beta, and we recommend only installing it on machines that have never had a version of Crystal Reports installed on it.
Thanks, Blair
'CrystalDecisions'.
But these are added to my project as references :
using CrystalDecisions.Shared;
using CrystalDecisions.ReportSource;
using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;
Crystal reports developed in previous versions of Crystal Reports also dont work in VS2010. But I can get them to work sucessfully in previous versions of Visual Studio like VS2005 and VS2008.
Why is this happening ?
Could someone please point my into a direction that might help me.
Thank you in advance.
