Error: "Report is not a valid Crystal report design"
Description
Cause

There’s another version of the CRRuntime.msi installed which is a later version than what Sage 300 CRE uses.

This error may not appear at all workstations. It will only appear at those workstations where you installed the third-party product.

Resolution

The different versions of the CRRuntime.msi files aren’t compatible. Consult with your IT professional to determine the best course of action.
