I am using Visual Studio 2005 and the built-in Crystal Reports tool on a web application. I have successfully used the reports feature in Visual Studio for a year now but about a month ago, anytime I build my website now and try to run a report from any page, the page errors out and goes back into debug mode and the error message says:
The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' threw an exception.
If I tell it to continue on, the web page has an error that reads:
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {11BD5260-15B6-412D-80DB-12BB60B8FE50} failed due to the following error: 8007007e
I did not have this problem until about a month ago and I'm not sure what I did to bring this error about. I'm stilling running it on the machine that I've been running it on all this time. I cannot run ANY reports while in run mode in Visual Studio. I also cannot open any RPT files in Visual Studio. An error box displays that is titled "Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer" and the message says "Failed to open document."
I really need to be able to get back to being able to modify and troubleshoot my reports on this laptop. Any suggestions?!
Thanks!
