How to Install Crystal Report runtime
Login to your PC with administrator permissions, and do the following steps
Choose the appropriate version of the report that i.e. 64bit or 32bit depending on your application. Download the runtime from the above link and save it to a folder on your hard disk. Unzip the content.
Double click on the .msi file and in my case it is CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_14.msi
You will see the welcome screen as shown below
Click on Next to continue.
This will take you to the License agreement.
Click on I Accept the License Agreement and click on next to proceed.
If the previous version of the runtime is installed on your Computer, then the warning screen will appear. If you continue, the installer will upgrade the previous version to the new version.
Click on next to continue to upgrade.
This will take you to start installation screen
Click on Next to proceed
The installation begins and it will take several minutes to finish. At the end, you see the following screen.
Click on finish.
This will complete your installation of runtime. You can now run your crystal report application without any issues.
How to Include Runtime into your application setup
You can include the crystal report runtime in your application setup project. To do that you have to download the Merge Module (MSM).
A merge module is windows installer package, but cannot be installed on its own. It can be included in your visual studio setup project and create a single setup file which includes both your application and crystal report runtime. You can then distribute the setup of your application. Then you don’t need to download and install the crystal report runtime separately at client Machine
You can refer to the article on how to include the Merge Module (MSM) in your setup project from the following link Using Crystal Reports Merge Modules MSM to create a Setup project

We are upgrading from SAP Crystal Reports engine for .NET framework 13.0,10.1385 to latest versions. Could you please let me know what versions we need to install at client side and server side.
Also i See two versions installed on dev server:
SAP Crystal Reports engine for .NET framework 13.0,10.1385
and
Crystal reports Basic Runtime for VS 2008..
Do i need to install separate versions ? for framework and VS?
You need Crystal Reports Developer Edition in your Development machine (Version 13.0.20 )
Download it from https://www.tektutorialshub.com/download-crystal-reports-for-visual-studio/
For Client Site Download and install latest run time (Version 13.0.20 )
Crystal reports Basic Runtime for VS 2008 is not required unless you are using VS 2008. You can uninstall it
Thanks a lot.. Appreciate your quick response as well !!
Can Crystal Report Runtime 13.0.17.2096 be used in Visual studio 2017? I am not creating crystal reports using Visual studio. On which factors does Runtime depends ? Is installing runtime and using its dlls in my project on any visual studio affect the behavior of the project? It is written that SP21 may be integrated in Visual studio 2017 , but I don’t want any development work in Visual studio ; does only runtime of SP17 work here?
You can try this workaround work around for Visual stuido 2017
