Re: CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll woes

I have VS2005 with C1 Studio for .NET 2007 and on import of a Crystal Report the Report Designer component complains that the CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll version 9.1.3300.0 cannot be found.

Where does someone get a copy of this ancient dll?  I have four versions of this dll on my system from VS.NET 2003, CR9.0 Enterprise, and VS.NET 2005.  None of those will do the trick.

I am surprised that the import routine would still require a dll this old seeing as how the C1Report component supposedly has been updated for VS 2005 and the framework 2.0.

Business Objects affirm that this library was released for .NET Framework 1.0, used with the late Visual Studio 2002 (the first release). It's a mistery to me why C1Designer (even the .NET 2.0 version) is designed to import from Crystal Report only using this old dll.
If someone of C1 could explain to us ...

There are two versions of the report designer:

C1ReportDesigner.2.exe is built with .NET 2.0 and uses the Crystal dlls that
ship with Visual Studio 2005.

C1ReportDesigner.exe is built with .NET 1.0 and uses the Crystal dlls that
ship with Visual Studio 2002.

Well, let's see then.

The C1ReportDesigner.2.exe help -> about reports verison: 2.5.20071.231  This is the import app that is complaining about CrystalDecisions.Shared version 9.1.3300.0.  (I do not have C1ReportDesigner.exe on my system)

The version of CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll that comes with VS 2005 is 10.2.51014.0 which is the only version of visual studio installed on my system.

Why then is the C1ReportDesinger.2.exe complaining about an ancient DLL on import?

 

 

You're wrong!
Maybe this is what C1 thinks; but if I try to import a report with C1ReportDesigner.2.exe I see an error asking for dll 9.1.3300 of Crystal (the old one). I can use Crystal import functionality only with C1ReportDesigner11.exe (I downloaded from your site).

This is an old issue: please try to fix it.
Thank you
