Hi ,

I'm strugling with the below error

ERROR - An error has occurred in the system. System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' threw an exception. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {4DB2E2BB-78E6-4AEA-BEFB-FDAAB610FD1B} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)). at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument..cctor() --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument..ctor() at Vdine.WebApp.UI.Web.Modules.Inventory.ReportsView.PopulateReport() at Vdine.WebApp.UI.Web.Modules.Inventory.ReportsView.Page_Init(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Web.Util.CalliEventHandlerDelegateProxy.Callback(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.OnInit(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Page.OnInit(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Adapters.ControlAdapter.OnInit(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)

I have build my project on VS 2017 AnyCPU and for my DEv machine I'v installed crforvs _13_0_21 EXE in my dev machine, so all report generation and loading workes perfectly fine in the dev environment.

But when i deploy my website on server which is 32 bit and have the CRRuntime_32bit.msi which was for the VS 2017, the above error gives.

Please help me out to sort out this issue.

Did you set IIS to run in 32 bit mode?

App pool also needs to be set to 4.0 Framework or above.
