Crystal visual studio 2010 assembly conflicts

Hello, I've had tons of issues trying to resolve assembly conflicts with Crystal 10 and visual studio 2010.  Initially, I had Crystal Reports 10  installed on a pc.  I tried to develop using crystal 10 but some of the report icons would be missing and a red x would be displayed in visual studio 2010.  To resolve that error, I installed the Crystal Reports for VS 2010 and the runtime.

After installing Crystal Reports for VS2010, I started receiving assembly errors.  When I would add a crystal report viewer to  a web page, assemblies for 10.2 and 13 would be referenced.  This would result in many errors being thrown.  I tried to correct this issue by removing Crystal Reports for VS 2010.  I also removed the files from the gac and toolbox.   All of the reports at my company are developed using Crystal Reports 10.

After removing Crystal Reports for VS 2010,  I no longer have the issue with version 13 assemblies being referenced in my project.  Now I'm receiving an error stating lognet version Version=1.2.10.0 could not be found.  Can someone explain what needs to be done to resolve the lognet error and develop reports in VS 2010 with Crystal Reports 10 installed?  I don't want to install any more files that are not needed.

Do you have the full version of CR10?
If so is it the developer edition?

As far as i can tell and recall CR10.2 was the version released with VS2003.  It will not work with VS2010.

I think it is the full developer version, I will verify.

So, there is no way to have CR10 and VS2010 on the same pc?  We have to use CR10 but I also need to deploy reports to VS2010.  Should I intall the CR for VS2010 files again? Would that fix the log4net error?
It may.

I don't know if there is a way to use CR10 with VS2010.  CR for VS2010 is CR13.

Do you have VS2005 installed on the machine?
That is where CR 10.2 comes from.

I have VS2005 and Crystal Reports 10 installed.  My computer has not upgraded from Crystal Reports 10 yet,all of our reports are created with CR 10.  I will try to reinstall CR for VS2010 again.  Do you know where to find the files to download CR for VS2010?
Before doing that, open Crystal 10

I have developer installed but I'm still receiving the error below:

 Could not load file or assembly 'log4net, Version=1.2.10.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies.

The log4net error mysteriously went away, I can now view the report in Visual Studio but all of the toolbar icons contain a red x.
The red X indicates the icon images are not present on the server or the user doesn't have permissions to them

The red x appears on my development pc.  When I deploy to ther server, I receive the following:
Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.CommLayer, Version=10.2.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies.

I installed CR4 VS2010 from the link above but I'm not able to see the 13.0 assembly in Visual Studio?  I can see the files in the GAC but it is not recognized by Visual Studio for some reason.
You can only have 1 version of the assemblies in an application

Did you try build a new application in VS2010?
