VS 2015 Crystal Report 13 Update 16

Crystal Reports in Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019

Crystal Reports for Visual Studio Toolbox issue
Crystal Reports for Visual Studio Toolbox Problem
Problem:
After installing Crystal reports for Visual Studio 2015 service pack16 (CRforVS_13_0_16.exe), I opened Visual Studio and I could not find Crystal reports or Reports Section in Tool Box items.
According to information from SAPTo integrate SAP Crystal Reports - developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio, you must run installer executable CRforVS_13_0_24.exe file.
Running the MSI will not fully integrate Crystal Reports into VS.MSI files by definition are for runtime distribution only.
By default Windows 10 does not install the 3.5 framework, CR for VS still needs it. Select it by "Turn Windows feature on or off" and choose both options.

Solution :

CR4VS2015
Visual Studio 2015 - Modify

Reports section in VS 2015 Tool Box

Open Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features, and select the entry for your version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2015. In our case, it was Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2015.
Click the "Change" button on the top bar above the program list.
After the splash screen, a window will open. Press the "Modify" button.
Select Windows and Web Development > Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools, and check the box next to it.
Press the "Update" button on the lower-right hand side of the window.
Once the installation is complete, open your version of Visual Studio. After the new all files are loaded, Reporting functionality should done.

CRforVS last update (EXE not MSI)

Crystal Reports Serice Pack 24 (Last update) for VS 2015 (also VS 2017 and VS 2019) appears in Items Tool Box and Add new Item menu

CRforVS - Installed and working
