I haven't done an install but . . . we have a customer that is running it stand alone at the moment. We installed Sage 100 v2014 last September. The client installed an update to MSI at the end of March 2015 and then Sage was no longer able to print any report. Took people a long time to figure out the Crystal runtime conflict. I don't remember what was done, but it was time consuming and messy. Previous to the MSI update, both programs could co-exist and print without a problem.
