Problem in Crystal Report Viewer Control

Redist packages are for deploying your project only. Uninstall them and then use the complete package install:
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_13_0_5.exe
Now you should not have to do anything except possibly adding the Viewer to the tool box.

Not sure if the warnings are because you have not installed it correctly. If the above doesn't work then add the PATH to CR runtime to the project:
I don't believe you need to go this far down but this is where they exist on a DEV PC:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\dotnet
Runtime only they are only in the GAC.
