If you're getting installation errors installing the Crystal Reports runtime engine, running our FULL Report Runner installer, make sure you're installing with administrator permissions, and please try the following two steps...
Note: If you are simply UPGRADING your runtime engine, you do not need to do anything with .Net 4. Just download and install the higher runtime engine.
---
1) Download and/or repair .Net 4 (4.x, 4.5.x, 4.6.x, 4.7.x, 4.8.x).
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/
Note, as of 2030, .Net 4.6 or later is required. Most all modern Windows machines have .Net 4.6 or later already installed.
Note: Microsoft also has a .Net repair tool:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/install/repair
---
2) Next, download and run the Crystal runtime engine installer separately:
SP3: https://jnsupport.s3.amazonaws.com/runtimes/CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_3.msi
Note: SP3 is the runtime service pack we recommend for machines older than Windows Server 2016.
SP20: https://jnsupport.s3.amazonaws.com/runtimes/CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_20.msi
Note: SP20 is the runtime service pack we recommend for operating system Windows Server 2016 or later. SP20 ships with our full installer instead of SP3.
---
3. Our software supports ALL Crystal runtime engines. After changing Crystal runtime engines, though, you may need to run our updater so our software can sync-up with the specific engine you installed.
---

As of 2018.300/2018.305, our software now supports SP21 and later. You must be on 2018.305 or later to use SP21, though. Please see this news release discussing SP21 and later.
Note: Updating an existing Crystal runtime installation to 21 or later? We recommend uninstalling the previous version first. This has not been an issue in the past, but for whatever reason, SP21 and later does not seem to install correctly with a previous version installed.

Replacing/Uninstalling a Later Service Pack with an Older One:
You can upgrade any service pack by installing a later one. If you need to install a previous service pack (like go from SP20 to SP3), you will need to manually uninstall (and clean up) the later service pack/runtime engine... then install the previous one. Please follow the steps in this KB article to install a previous service pack:
