How can i get runtime for the same version. or How can resolve? Please advise.
Thanks
Goto to add remove program and find out the crystal reports version installed. Do not go by the DLL Version
Install the corresponding runtime DLL in the Client PC.
The 32 bit/64 Bit depends on the bitness of your application and not that of your OS.

Hello, can i use Crystal Report .NET Framework 2.0 in Visual Studio 2017? If it can, how to download the Crystal Report .NET Framework 2.0?
You cannot install Crystal Reports with the VS2017, if you are using .NET Framework 2.0
Using Windows 7 SP1 64bit.
Installed Net Framework 4.5. Crystal Reports runtime Service Pack 27. VC 2015 C++ Redistributable.
Getting error “System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: ‘Void System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.StructureToPtr(!!0, IntPtr, Boolean)’.at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataSetConversion.DataSetConverter.Wrap(Object dataset, CrdbAdoPlusDelegate& adoPlusDelegate)”
Check your App’s .NET Framework Version from project -> properties. and install the correct version
i installed .Net framework 4.6 in windows 7 64 bit and Crystal reports working now. But our project is in .Net framework 4.5. should i use crystal report SP20 or below SP27 or below SP25 for .Net framework 4.5 compatibility.
Please suggest, your suggestion will be really helpful.
.NET framework 4.5 & 4.6 are compatible. Hence there is no issue.
But it is always advisable to upgrade to the latest version .i.e. 4.8. & crystal Reports to SP28 (i just posted the download link)
