Visual Studio 2010

Server (Deployed too):

Windows Server 2008 x64

Application

Basic winforms application

Notes

Set Target CPU in compile options to x86 in VS

Installed CR runtime on the server : CRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0_1

I could be wrong but if your app is 32bit then you should be deploying the 32bit merge modules (not the 64bit merge modules) regardless of the OS you're targeting..

Hi Fergus,

You were correct, I had installed the incorrect runtime.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Any clue on that ??

this solution works fine on my dev box windows 7 64bit box..

I am using ADO.Net data set as a report datasource. and also included

<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">

<supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>

</startup>

in my web config as I am using ADO.Net data source..

aditisaha, your issue and the one discussed on this thread have nothing in common (other than that you are getting an error). Create a new thread and we'll help you there.

Ok I see, I can certainly give it a try. Im not using the merge modules though, I installed the:

SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4 (64-bit)

I presume you are suggesting I try this runtime:

SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4 (32-bit)

Thanks for your help.

[former_member744743]

Yeah, I meant the MSI (SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4 (32-bit)) as you say.

I have Merge Modules on the brain..

[former_member744743]

Hey,

Have you tried looking at this article on deploying 32bit apps on 64bit machines?

It makes specific reference to your error..

Hi Fergus,

I hadnt seen that article, I had a good read over it but Im failing to see the connection with my issue. It appears to be a 2009 article as well, we are using visual studio 2010 and the Crystal Reports runtime 13.

What do are you thinking the issue could be?
