Hello,
Thank you for the information on error 2573. I.got CR to install without the error, but it still will not let me create a new report.
I installed CR on a machine that never had CR on it, and it worked great! Crystal Report project type showed up in the Reporting section of VS 2012 when you select New Project. I created a Windows Form project, dropped the CR Report Viewer on the form, chose Create New Report, and it worked!
Error 2573 occurs when there CR is installed and you either install the same version or a new version. When I installed it on the machine that had never had it installed, I did not use the tools mentioned in the articles, and did not any errors.
On my development machine, which is running Windows 8, I uninstalled CR, started VS, and CR Report Viewer still showed up in the toolbox. I ran CRforVS_13_0_7.exe, without the tools mentioned in the articles, and sure enough, I got error 2573.
In the article it said to delete the following folders:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Macrovision\FLEXnet Connect and
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\FLEXnet
I cannot find them on my development machine.
I think the problem is CR is not getting fully uninstalled. How can I get CR working again?
Thanks
