For a current AND temporary download of SP 5 please see the CR 2008 reference page
** Note; Service Pack 2, contains all earlier fixes up to and including FP1.5. To install SP 2, you must install SP 1 first. For more information see the blog Topic of the Week - Crystal Reports, Report Application Server, Business Objects Enterprise, post from 7/31/2009. Also, see post from 8/19/2009 regarding installation of CR 2008 SP2 runtime over pre-existing CR 2008 SP 1 runtime. Service Pack 3 is scheduled (not guaranteed) to be released May 2010.
# Note; Service Pack 3 contains all fixes up to and including Fix Pack 2.5. This is a cumulative Service Pack and should update all SPs direcrtly. E.g.; If you are on SP 1, you should not need to install SP 2 and then SP 3. Also, note that you will not be able to install FP 2.6 and higher on machines updated with SP 3. FP 3.1 - expected at end of July will contain all fixes from FP 2.6 up.
For completeness, I should mention that there is a similar blog "Crystal Reports version numbers by Product and Service Pack" written by Brian Bischof. The blog has information for Crystal Reports 11.0 and Crystal Reports 11.5 as well as Crystal Reports 2008 up to Fix pack 1.2.
To find the Crystal Reports version, click Help > About
Update Feb. 10, 2010; A request has been received to add links or information to this wiki regarding what is actually fixed in each FP. A new wiki containig information regarding fixes for CR SDKs for VS .NET and possibly more is planned to be released on line by end of next week.
Update March 8, 2010; A wiki titled Resolved issues for Crystal Reports & InProc RAS SDK for VS .NET has been created.
Update November 2, 2010; For fix pack and service information for CR 9.1 to 12 see the blog Crystal Reports 2008 (and 9.1, XI R1, XI R2) - Version and Download information for Service Packs & Fix Packs
Update May 6, 2011; Service Pack 0, Service Pack 1 and all 1.x Fix packs are no longer available.

Re. which FP is in which SP. The sequence is of the columns is by date release. So, SP 2 contains FP 1 to FP 1.5. See the **Note at the bottom of the wiki. Similarly, SP 3, when released, will contain FP 1.6 to FP 2.3 - I believe.

Btw, I just read the ominous "BusinessObjects XI 3.1 FixPack Installation and Deployment Guide" which I could not find on SDN but only via a Google Search. This document of which I have no idea if it really is applicable to Crystal Reports 2008 installations states on page 14 "FixPacks are cumulative".
Unfortunately this does not make things easier for me. Example question: If I had SP 2 installed and wanted to install Fix Pack 2.6 would I have to install Fix Pack 1.11 as well ?
I posted the question in the Crystal Reports Design Forum: http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1666077

HELP!
For my work, i recently bought CR2008. It came on CD with SP0 and now i try to install all the service packs. But that is only possible by starting from SP1. Can anyone tell me where i can find SP1 or the complete CR2008 with all the SP's already in it.

I keep getting the error "Some installation files are corrupt. Please download a fresh copy and retry the installation". I have tried to download at least 5 times with this same error. Is there something else I should have done?
Never mind it finally worked.
Thanks RA

Are you freaking kidding me? Why on God's planet would you make SP1 a pre-req for SP2 and then PULL SP1! How are those of us on RTM and SP0 supposed to get to SP3? This is about the dummest thing I've seen a software company do in my 25+ years in this business.
