Error: "File does not exist or is not a valid Crystal report." (Windows 10)

Cause
  • Windows 10 Default UAC/Windows Security controls are blocking the Crystal Runtime Engines
  • Although you may be local or part of the domain administrator's group, but in Windows 10 you are not running the program as the "Built-in Administrator" which is what is required to pull the data from the server for this action.
