create a new windows forms application project.
Add new item.
select "Telerik Report R2 2016 Important Wizard"
select "CrystalReports"
browse to my crystal report (nothing fancy, no subreports or anything)
click "Next"
The conversion begins, but VS stops working and restarts. sometimes it it crashes at the beginning of the conversion, but sometimes it gets about halfway(I suppose) done and crashes.
I have updated my devenv.exe.config to relect my Crystal XI installation. I also tried a few different project types including ASP and windows forms. None have had any difference in the result.
