the instructions below:

EDIT: " To add Crystal Reports to Visual Studio you will first need to download the runtime from SAP. Most commom runtimes can be found here. Then you will have to add the CR to your toolbox in VS by choosing Tools -> choose Toolbox items. Make sure the .NET Frameworks Components tab is selected and scroll to the CrystalReport items. Check the items you want to add (CrystalReportViewer for sure) and click OK. After that the CR Viewer should be available to you in the Reporting section of your toolbox."

Crystal no longer has a public SDK for viewer application development.  You need to install Crystal Reports for Visual Studio as pointed out above,  It is free and must be downloaded then installed for using to build an application.

The package you downloaded needs to be installed on the client machines when you install your application for viewing reports.
Direct link to the download
https://www.crystalreports.com/crystal-reports-visual-studio/

You will need to provide some information and register with SAP/Crystal Reports

If you have CR2008 or before then the viewer is included on the installation CDs.
