Crystal Reports - Failed to open document
Today I experienced having trouble with my VS 2005. When I tried to open my .rpt file it pop-up an error message "Failed to open document" and "Failed to create the Crystal Query Engine".
What I did before experiencing these error was installing my application to my development machine. I google and found this helpful link.

What happened was when I created my setup package embedding the Crystal Report merge module and installing it to my development machine and then uninstalling it, it removes all Crystal Reports files from my system including those used by Visual Studio.
To fix the problem, I follow these steps posted by PCr.
