Installing Crystal Reports XI

Upgrading Crystal Reports components

44 Crystal Reports User’s Guide

This side-by-side behavior applies to Crystal Reports and the various

Software Development Kits (SDKs). Crystal Reports XI for Visual Studio .NET

can be used in side-by-side mode at runtime (that is, applications written

using Crystal Reports 10 for Visual Studio .NET will continue to run with

Crystal Reports 10 for Visual Studio .NET assemblies). However, Visual

Studio integration is not side by side; only one version of Crystal Reports can

be integrated into the Visual Studio .NET IDE at any given time. The same

thing applies to the Report Designer Component (RDC): the RDC can be

used in side-by-side mode at runtime, but IDE integration is not side by side.

Note:

• When you upgrade Crystal Reports 9 components, the BusinessObjects

Enterprise Repository presents a special case. You must install the

BusinessObjects Enterprise Repository from the Crystal Enterprise

Standard product distribution (see the Crystal Enterprise XI Installation

Guide for information). You must then move repository content that you

added in Crystal Reports 9 to the new repository. See the chapter called

“Migrating the Crystal Repository” in the Business Views Administrator’s

Guide for information about how to do this.

• For further information that may pertain to your reporting environment,

consult the Release Notes included with your product distribution

(
