'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument missing?

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have an app that uses Crystal Reports. Currently it's on .NET 3.5.

I'm in the process of migrating it to .NET 4.0. I've downloaded "SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010 - Standard" from http://www.businessobjects.com/jump/xi/crvs2010/us2_default.asp and installed it on my development machine. I added references to CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll and CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll to my project. My application works fine on my machine.

I packaged it in an msi and installed it on the server where the .NET 3.5 version was running previously. I checked teh msi appears to install CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll and CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll to the GAC correctly. However, when I run my app, I see the following error:

Message: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' threw an exception. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.CommLayer, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument..cctor()

Any suggestions? Please don't tell me I'll have to install the entire "SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010 - Standard" on my server.

Thanks

You have to install the correct CR runtime;

MSM

http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_mergemodules_13_0_1.zip

MSI 32 bit

http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0_1.zip

MSI 64 bit

http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0_1.zip

No other way available.

Hi Ludek,

I am you follower of all post..

I am using VB.NET desktop application with CR

I have installed CR runtime 13.0.10.16

i am building it as x64 bit setup file for installing

My application is working fine in my devolopment machine, but when i test it in deployment machine

the same error comes.. CR.Engine.reportDocument threw an exception  --> sys.io..filenotfoundexception: could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecision.reportAppServer.commlayer, version 13.02000.0....

In one of the post you  posted, installing .net framework 2.0 will solve it. but my machine with windows 7 it is not allowing it to..

It has .net framework 4.5.2

I am in working in onsite project. need to fix this issue today. kindly help me.

Look one folder up from the rest of the SDK.  I don't know why they didn't put it with the rest, but that's where it's located.
