Crystal Reports XI R2 and Win 7 running 64 bit mode - crystal-reports

We are reluctant to move to Crystal Reports 2008. But it appears that that is the only way to get a version of Crystal that is compatible with Windows 7 running in the 64 bit mode. Does anyone know if SAP is going to retrofit CR XI R2 to run on Win 7 in the 64 bit mode?
Thanks.

SAP has confirmed that they will not retrofit CR XI R2 for 64 bit mode. You have to upgrade to CR 2008.

You could try stimulsoft reports which have zero foot print like merge modules etc.100% managed and has tool to export crystal report to stimulsoft.

How to run Visual Studio 2005 Crystal Reports app on Windows 8.1 - says can't find CR runtime

I have a VS2005 forms app that uses Crystal Reports (built on a Windows Server 2003 system). I can run the app in Windows 8.1, but when I try to open a report, I get an error saying it cannot find the Crystal Reports runtime. I've installed the CR2005_x86 runtime, and the C++2005 runtime for good measure.
I've also installed VS2005 on the Win 8.1 machine (with its SP1 and SP1 for Vista), can open/edit the reports within VS2005, and can build the app, but this too says it cannot find the CR runtime.
In both cases running with Admin priviledges.
Can anyone help? What am I missing or do I need to upgrade (eg to VS2012)?

Tom

Crystal Reports XI compatibility with Windows 2012

I have a Crystal Reports application that is hosted in IIS on a windows 2003 32 bit Server. The Crystal reports version in use is Crystal Reports XI Release 2 SP 2.
We are migrating our applications to Windows 2012 64 Bit Servers. I am not sure if this version will work support on 2012 server.
Can anyone please tell me if it will work on 2012? If not, is there any workaround?
While it's not supported, you may have luck with updating your Crystal to service pack 6.
See this page for links/details on doing so:

We faced two scenarios using Windows 2012 64 bit Server and Crystal Reports 10.2.0.
In the first one, everything is working fine until now.
In a second one, I was working fine too, except when someone would try to save the report as an Excel file. It would crash the IIS ASP.Net process. Something on KERNEL32.dll, but I don't have the full message in English to post.
We tried to format the server and reinstall Windows 2012 Server, but it was useless.
We researched about it and all the references and possible solutions ended up at an orientation to install Crystal Reports 13.0.12.
We installed the newer version and everything is working fine.
Please note the the version numbers are a bit confusing. I always check the version number in windows "programs and resources".

unable to load crystal report in windows server 2012

I have created a web application .net 2008 with crystal report. I have deployed it in windows server 2012 64 bit OS. The server is installed with 3.5 and 4.0 .net frame work. The problem is, the crystal report is not displayed in the web page. It doesn't throw any error.
Thanks in advance.
In windows server 2012 it runs IIS 8. Previous versions of crystal report doesnt support IIS8. For running Crystal report for IIS 8 you have to install new
crystal report*(v. 13.0.6.x)*
on your win server machine. Please check following link for downloading crystal report.

Also, make sure you are using a supported browser version.
