CRVS2010 redist with CR2008 SP2 .msi doesn not work...

Question

I have VS 2010 u2013 CR 2010 Beta.  I am trying to distribute the application using ClickOnce in vs2010.
I have followed EXACTLY as prescribed in Mandeep Jassalu2019s paper explaining how you insert the tags in the exe.config file of my project to redirect CR in my project to version 12 versus the version 14.
Example: this (this is just the first two, there are several other too) is inside the configuration tag of the projects ProjectName.exe.config file in VS2010:
  <runtime>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine" publicKeyToken="692fbea5521e1304" culture=""/>
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="14.0.2000.0" newVersion="12.0.2000.0"/>
      </dependentAssembly>
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Viewing.ReportSource" publicKeyToken="692fbea5521e1304" culture=""/>
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="14.0.2000.0" newVersion="12.0.2000.0"/>
      </dependentAssembly>
u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026u2026.
  <runtime>
Now when I install on client I get an error when the project tries to run CR, below is an excerpt from that error.   Notice that it ALWAYS references Version 14.0, not version 12 from CR2008?  When I go to the files in the ClickOnce install directory on the client machine I check the CR files and all are version 14?  I replaced version 14 files on my dev machine with version 12 hoping that when the manifest is generated that it would pick up the version 12 instead of version 14?  No luck? 
I have a deadline that has already passed!  I am in DEPERATE NEED TO FIX THIS ASAP!
Thanks,
Jim

Answer 1

You should now be using CRVS2010 Beta 2:
/people/blair.wheadon/blog/2010/07/29/crystal-reports-for-visual-studio-2010-beta-2-and-runtimes-now-available
Do not use CR 2008 runtime anymore.
