this error popped out when installing an application made from Visual Studio meaning I am one of the client

I have Visual Studio 2015 and a Microsoft SQL Server 2014 and didn't know about Crystal Reports and other related stuff to it. I do check the version of my .NET Framework which is version 4.6.2.

I have several extension files and distributable files downloaded and yet doesn't solve my problem.

I do not know if I solve the problem generally but I do become successful in installing the application

so I downloaded and installed the ff:

• SAP Crystal Report for Visual Studio 2015(latest, just to make sure)
• Microsoft System CLR Types for Microsoft SQL Server 2012
• Microsoft Report Viewer 2012 Runtime.

the problem took me about 2 days to trouble shoot, Be careful on downloading and installing extension files and distributed files cause it will munch some space too.
