Title: Crystal reports 5.0 on WIN 7
Post by deburr on 09/30/10 at 05:14:11

Does anybody know if it is possible to make version 5 run on windows 7? And how?

I've looked at buying a newer version of crystal and ran a trial but was unhappy and could not get that to run. I run version 5. on all my XP machines and it does all I need so I want to stay with the old program.

i've used version 5 from smithware, then when seagate bought, upgraded, and basically stayed with every new version since then.
the 2008 works great and lasts a long time, on windows 7.
version 5 was frought with many bugs.
personally i'd recommend upgrading. more features, reliability, etc.
