Answer 1

I was getting this exact same error when trying to install the CR 32bit runtime, but the 64bit would install w/o an issue. After trying everything else mentioned above we finally tried disabling the AV and voila it installed fine.

Answer 2

Uninstalling the older versions solved this problem. Also, install Visual c++ runtime 2013 for SP33

Answer 3

Just had this error in SP32.

Install the runtime first, then the visual studio installer.

Answer 4

I believe you are trying to install SAP Crystal Reports Runtime SP21 or above in Windows 7. For that you need to install the dependencies:

1- Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable package.

2- Microsoft Windows Update KB2999226.

Both require Windows Service Pack 1.

I was getting the same error. I installed the dependencies above and it solved for me.

The error you are receiving is a Windows error code that could be due to insufficient permissions. Do you have Administrator user permissions on the computer? If not, then you will need to contact someone who does and have them install this for you. If you are, you may simply need to right click the EXE file and choose "Run as Administrator" when trying to install this.

If you don't believe this is a permissions problem, then you could also have a conflicting version of Crystal Reports assemblies already installed. Click Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features and then search for any installed versions of Crystal Reports and uninstall them, then try installing your CR Runtime client again.
