I am not certain that this is the solution but I will take a stab at it.

I have had too many headaches with Crystal Reports to remember so I feel
your pain. That is neither here nor there though.

One question I have is whether or not Visual Studio is installed on the
production server. I think the Crystal Reports library that is
distributed
for free (version 10.x that you are using) is bundled with Visual Studio
2005
(and not the .NET framework). If only the .NET framework has been
installed
on the production server (and not Visual Studio 2005), then I would guess
that the Crystal Reports library is missing (which is what the error
appears
to be stating). You should be able to copy the assembly to the GAC on the
production server and everything should work fine.

Now, if you are using things such as the CrystalReportViewer control,
there
will be another set of problems when deploying it to the server (you won't
be
able to simply copy the project to the server without some additional
configuration...at least that is what happened to me). If you are like me
and have decided to ditch the viewer control and export the reports to PDF
format through code, no additonal configuration should be necessary.

I hope this has helped some and not confused the issue.

Hi

We are developing an ASP.NET 2.0 application and using the in built
Crystal report system that it comes with.

We have everything running fine on our development server but when we
publish the site to our production server - as soon as we visit the site
to test it we get a horrible message from crysta reports that we just
dont understand as below

Is this some type of Licencing issue ? Does it need to have a separate
runtime Licence applied to the server ?

Any ideas ?

Thanks
