The purpose of this document is to provide a quick look-up of all Support Packs, Fixed Issues and Distribution File downloads available for Crystal Reports 2008. Visual Studio.NET Development. Crystal Reports 2008 is a 32 bit product. There are no 64 bit runtimes for this version of Crystal Reports.

My application uses CR Basic 2008 for reporting. My database backend is Microsoft Access, so I have set my program to deploy as 32 bit on x86 only. Works great on Windows 7 64 bit boxes that way, except that even though I force 32 bit install, the Visual Studio installer still downloads the CR prerequisite and installs the 64 bit version. My users then have to uninstall the 64 bit version and install the 32 bit version. Is there a way I can force the 32 bit install of CR? This thread is close, but I don't want to do it with ClickOnce.

Hi Allen34, Thank you for posting. Is your app running in 32bit or 64bit mode? I have a bunch of reports that use an ODBC connection that is 32bit mode only, so my app has to run in 32bit.

When the installer install Crystal, Crystal sees the 64bit environment and installs the 64bit version. So when my program attempts to create a report, 32bit Crystal is not there.

I need the installer to install the 32bit version of CR.
