I have downloaded VS 2015. I want to integrate SAP Crystal Reports in VS 2015 Enterprise Edition. I have also downloaded the MSI file of the latest SAP Crystal Report edition and installed it. However, I am not able to see the Crystal Report Viewer.

Open Visual Studio and click New Project -> Window Form Application. Give the name of the project and click OK. Subsequently, choose the project, go to the Solution Explorer -> Right click on project name -> Add -> New Item. Click Reporting-> Crystal Reports and click 'Add' button.
Right click on the downloaded Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2015 file and click Open. Note: Make sure all Visual Studio versions installed on your system are not running during installation. The WinRAR self-extracting archive file will first extract its contents and then the installation will start.
SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio Our report design software installs directly into Visual Studio. With this fully functional – and free software, you'll spend less and save time developing rich, interactive reports.
Crystal Enterprise is the Business Objects server-based delivery platform for Crystal Reports and Crystal Analysis originally developed by Crystal Decisions. Crystal Enterprise is what is called a delivery platform in Business Intelligence terms.
I had a very difficult time finding this particular download page and the appropriate download link on that page for Visual Studio 2015 (I also have Enterprise but I don't think that matters too much, if at all for this). The link is provided below, the download link is titled, "Support Pack 15 (v.13.0.15.1840)".

So I did the following:
1.) I had to uninstall two Crystal Report applications that I had previously installed (one was an update for it I think).
2.) Then I shutdown VS2015.
3.) Then I ran the downloaded executable, it installed fine and I installed the 64 bit run-time feature for Crystal Reports.
4.) Then I made a mistake and tried opening VS2015 afterwards, it crashed repeatedly.
5.) After restarting the PC, I have no more errors and I now have the crystal reports icon in the Report's category when adding a new
item to my Web Application project. It also allows me to use the wizard.
Hope this helps!

You can download it from:

Finally, restart your PC.... open your visual studio 2015 again and you will see "Reporting" option for Crystal Reports when you add a new item.
Happy code!
