Need some help with a dll issue on web server

45 Views

Here is the scenerio:

I am developing a prototype for an online report. The only web server I have for testing is shared space, so I do not have a lot of flexibilty (ie installing runtime versions) on the machine. I have spoke to the provider and they have other clients running similar solutions on the same server as me so that may narrow down the problem.

I am using Crystal that came with VS 2008.

I placed a CR Viewer on an ASPX page, selected the source and built a static report (just for testing and simplification). I can view it no problem on my machine, once I publish it to the server I am getting errors of missing assemblies. I copied over all the dll's and associated xml's that were present on my system to the bin folder of my site. I then came to these: CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.CommLayer

CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework

CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore

I could not find these on my machine. So I copied them out of my GAC and placed them in my bin folder and this is one of the errors I received: Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.CommLayer, Version=10.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.

So, my gut says despite me hacking these dll's out of the GAC, they are not correct or complete. Hence the " The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest." They are the right version 10.5.3700.0. Is there a place I can download these? I have tried executing the runtime and looking for the dll's, but no luck. As I stated in the begining, I am using shared space, so I need to copy the dll's to the bin.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

John
