Missing an assembly reference Crystal Reports in Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 8

I installed Crystal Reports for VS 2010 from http://www.sdn.sap.com
When I create new Crystal Report in the CrystalReport.cs class there are few errors:

The type or namespace name 'Engine' does not exist in the namespace 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

I manually browsed the CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll and added it to the References but still gives me the error

The same error gives me for CrystalDecisions.ReportSource
The same error gives me for CrystalDecisions.Shared

Also the CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine doesn't exist when I go to Add Reference .NET tab ..

This may seem like a silly thing, but I had this problem because I had already installed CR for VS2010 in Windows 8 before I actually installed VS2010. So, I went to Programs & Features, removed the SAP program listed and re-installed the Support Pack 4 Runtime Package. It works fine, now. – Ally

For all those who has still this problem: Somehow i figured out that there are problems with .NET 4, with .NET 4.5 & VS2012 they just work fine.

I haven't tried Ally's solution but that maybe is the right answer to my problems, but whatever i switched to vs2012 & 4.5 so they work just fine.

Thanks

You Must Change Version Of .Net In Project Properties. In Tab Application, Change Target framework To .Net Framework 4. I exactly had problem. In fact, initial .Net Framework When I created Project was .Net Framework 4 Client Profile. As I told, I changed to .Net framework 4.

Problem solved perfectly.
