I was not able to view rpt file in my project.  (Files were created before)Also when trying to add Crystal Report to my project I was getting the following error:
I have Windows 7 64bit and visual studio 2010 professional.

CRYSTAL REPORTS® FOR VISUAL STUDIO 2010
Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 is a free download for adding presentation quality reports to WPF, WinForms, and ASP.Net Web Sites.
Major new features include:
  • 64-bit runtime
  • WPF viewer
  • Enhanced embedded report designer
  • Support for exporting to XLSX
  • Learn more and download Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 today.
 

Of course, I was following the link and downloaded from
http://www.businessobjects.com/jump/xi/crvs2010/us2_default.asp free version of SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4
(select SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010 - Click Once) - installation was successful, but I was still getting the same error.  Tried to reboot computer multiple times, no difference.

OK, so my next step was (after browsing multiple forums, blogs, etc) -
- delete c:\windows\temp folder
- download and install
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_13_0_2.exe
 
That fixed my problem.
