i have upgraded a solution from VS 2019 to 2022.
all is working fine, all projects build successfully and run successfully.
i was trying to build the Deployment project, i got the following error:
ERROR: File 'CrystalDecisions.VSDesigner.dll' targeting 'AMD64' is not compatible with the project's target platform 'x86'
WARNING: File 'CrystalDecisions.VSDesigner.dll' targeting 'x64' is not compatible with the project's target platform 'x86'
i made sure that all the projects under are targeting " Any CPU"
i have installed the crystal report 32 for visual studio and all the projects are running well and printing, only the deployment project is giving this error. i created a new Deployment project and got the same result
any idea how to solve that issue?

I had the same problem.
I use Visual Studio 2022 Installer Projects to create the .msi.
I solved it by installing or updating Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2022 and the Crystal Reports Runtime (32-bit) to version SP34 on my development machine.
Having Crystal for Visual Studio and the 32-bit runtime allows me to deploy my app for x86, x64 and anyCPU.
To build to x64 I had to change the 'TargetPlatform'property to x64 on the Deployment Project.

Hi @Nassim Hasbani ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
The error means that the CrystalDecisions.VSDesigner.dll is a x64 dll file, but the deployment project you build is in x86 target platform.
Although your platform target is Any CPU, it is impossible to build x64 and x86 in one project at the same time.
You need to check your references and ensure that the CrystalDecisions.VSDesigner.dll supports 32bit.
Or you can try to change your platform target to x64.
Sincerely,
Anna

I have the same problem.
Visual Studio 2022 does not allow the selection of x86 dll for Crystal Reports, It only shows the x64 version in:
Add References -> Assemblies -> Extensions -> DLLs Crystal x64 only.
The program should be Deployed in x86 and x64 versions.
