Will Crystal 8.5 work with Windows 7 or Vista?

What you have been told about licensing issues is a partial truth.
It is true that you cannot compile a crystal report after v8.5. However, there is no need to. You can buy a crystal reports viewer (there are dozens of them, just google it) for $15 per workstation or less. There are even a couple of freeware versions out there.
So get however many developer licenses you need and go from there. And don't let anyone try to sell you Crystal Enterprise/Crystal Server unless you need to publish reports on the web.

Today, I finally needed to install Crystal Reports v10 on our one and only Windows 7 system (64-bit). My initial installation failed. I reinstalled by right-clicking the setup.exe file and choosing, "run as administrator." It now works perfectly. Maybe it will also work for v8.5. Good luck!
