Do not download this DLL in isolation. If you must use Crystal Reports v10.2.3600, obtain the full Crystal Reports runtime installer from an official source (SAP or Visual Studio 2008 installation media). For new work, migrate to Crystal Reports for Visual Studio (SP 33 or later) or a non-Crystal alternative (DevExpress, Telerik, Microsoft RDLC, FastReports).

Check with PowerShell:

| Property | Expected value | |----------|----------------| | File name | CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll | | Assembly version | 10.2.3600.0 | | File version | 10.2.3600.17 | | PublicKeyToken | 692fbea5521e1304 | | Culture | neutral | | File size (approx) | ~200–300 KB |
