Solution: Uninstall the 64-bit version and install the 32-bit counterpart ( crruntime-13-0-20.msi without "64bit"). Check your application’s compilation target: Any CPU, x86, or x64. 4. The install fails with error “Another version of this product is already installed.” Cause: A newer (or older) Crystal Reports Runtime is already present. Crystal runtimes do NOT support side-by-side installation for the same major version (13). Solution: Fully uninstall any existing Crystal Reports 13 runtime via Control Panel > Programs and Features. Then reinstall crruntime-64bit-13-0-20.msi . 5. Export to PDF fails or produces garbled text. Cause: Known issue with Unicode fonts in version 13.0.20. Solution: Apply a hotfix from SAP Note # 1843924 (requires SAP login) or upgrade to a later version like 13.0.35 (if your application permits). Alternatively, use the "RasAuto" print engine fallback via registry key. Where to Obtain the Genuine File Warning: Avoid downloading crruntime-64bit-13-0-20.msi from third-party DLL download sites. These files often contain malware, are corrupted, or are missing digital signatures.
