Hi aspfun,
1) What version of framework need to be installed?
For this question, you need to know the .NET Framework version and its dependencies, on which versions it can run, you can refer to the official documentation:
.NET Framework versions and dependencies
2) What Crystal Report run time components need to be installed?
In VS2017, you need to download SP 21 and higher to support Crystal Reports.
For the installation and use of Crystal Reports in windows 2016, you can refer to the following link:
Crystal Reports, Developer for Visual Studio Downloads
Crystal report 2016 (version 14.2.5.2618 ) on Windows 2016 server
Best Regards,
