Crystal Reports for Visual Studio - Deployment Issue

[former_member704081]

This is the third Crystal reports app I have created. I am seeing this error when trying to run the app on the client machines. I have run the msi setup file for both my app and the CR runtime SP 29. The error I am seeing is below. I have verified that CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll has been added to the dependencies for my setup file and as a reference within the app. Does anyone know what could possibly be causing this?

Application: M-Files - Planned Material Report.exe

Framework Version: v4.0.30319

Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

Since your app is now running in 64 bit mode it needs a 64 bit version of ADO.NET.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/data/adonet/dataset-datatable-dataview/security-gu...

Be sure to remove the legacyMode for CR to work also in the app.config file.

I went through this guide and I don't really understand what I am supposed to do. There are a lot of topics I have never seen before. That being said, is it best to target 32 bit apps for Crystal report apps? I could convert it back to 32 bit where it works properly and then deploy the 32 bit runtime. The reason I was targeting 64 bit is because we are using 64 bit windows, but from what I read it should be able to support both 64 and 32 bit apps. Is there a merge module for the 32 bit runtime?

I deployed the 32 bit version that is working properly on my machine, but when deployed the app doesn't open and I see the below error in the event viewer. The path that it is looking for this dll is incorrect. It should be looking in C:\Windows\SysWOW64, why is the app looking in the wrong folder for the file? Any thoughts?
