Just install the MSI's, it won't have the CR Basic Designer integrated into VS ot new project templates but you can still create new applications.
Be sure to add CR references from the GAC, do not browse to the dll's, use the References and Extensions to add them.
Thank you

PLEASE read the page -
FYI - if you need a previous version of the EXE and Runtime packages just replace the SP number with the SP number you do want in the URL.
