Recently i have assigned a task to add crystal reports in SSRS 2008 and open their design in it. I have tried one of my colleague's system and i will see report design successfully opened in it. But when i have tried to open it in my system it returns binary format of file. I have uninstall SSRS 2008 and install it again but fails. Even i have tried to use SSRS 2008 R2 and i did not find my required result.
Then during search i found missing components needs to install in SSRS 2008. I have used following link to download CR package for SSRS.
