As a follow up post for anyone interested in using Crystal, it requires

MFC42 && MFC Shared Library
MSVCRT.DLL && C Runtime

which cannot be updated with Windows running. That pretty much sums up doing retro installs (unless you use installshield, etc.). If you have an installed base, plan on visiting each workstation or using the VFP report writer (which I have developed a new appreciation for since working with Crystal). It's too bad Microsoft doesn't invest additional time into it...it has a lot of potential with having to go to DLL hell.
