Hello,

I included the 'SAP Crystal Reports Runtime Engine for .Net 4.0' as a prerequisite in the setup creation project of my .Net application. 8.5

. Customers of an earlier version of SAP Crystal Reports are eligible to purchase a license of SAP Crystal Reports 2020 at an upgrade discount. Software patches for various versions of SAP Crystal Reports are available on this site. In case, your system have older version of Crystal report runtime, the installer will ask you whether to upgrade the version. Click next to confirm or cancel to cancel. Follow the rest of the instructions which are basically bunch of next buttons and click finish at the end. Download Crystal Report From This Linkto Download Crystal Report 8.5 With Activation Key https://www.crystalreports.com/reports/Hell.

I want the installation to be a silent installation and so I've give '/qn' in Setup Files tab.
The problem here is, the folder for SAP Crystal Reports Runtime Engine is not created in the Prerequisites folder in the output folder of the project.
And hence, while installing my application it throws an error message saying one of the prerequisites is not installed properly.
I don't know what the problem is as I'm new to Advanced Installer.
Any help?
Thanks in Advance.
