Did you install the crystal reports runtime on your production server. You need to install the msi found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Crystal Reports\CRRedist\X64 onto your server

After 6 hours of adding and removing references, hot fixes and cold showers I finally found a solution to this error...

Cause I'm as happy as a pig in sh*t I want to share it with the world (and because there really isn't anything around I found useful regarding this subject neither on the businessobjects forum nor in the newsgroups).

Errors I got:

The type initializer for "CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.CRPE"
threw an exception.

Things I tried:
- Removed and added the crystal dll references one at a time
- http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=642627&SiteID=1 (this post )
  Ran:C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\CrystalReports\ CRRedist2005_x86.msi
- https://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=137831&SiteID=1 suggestion here was to specificly target the x86 plaform instead of ‘any cpu’:
  Go to your application project, right click, and select "Properties"
  On the Build tab, find the Platform Target combo box. It probably says, "Any CPU". Change this to x86 and your project will compile for 32 bit only, thus eliminating the issue.
All required dll’s where present in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\2.7\Managed folder

Run C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Crystal Reports\CRRedist\X64\ CRRedist2005_X64.msi

It worked fine yesterday

What did I do wrong, more specific what have I been up to the last 24 hours

What did the trick

Suddenly I remembered I uninstalled a 2005 project yesterday which included the CrystalDecisionsRedist2005_x86 merge module!

I re-installed the project kept my fingers crossed when the debugger hit the breakpoint at:

Private crReportDocument As New ReportDocument

And cried like a baby when I saw my splash screen!

It’s strange thought that running ‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\CrystalReports\ CRRedist2005_x86.msi’ didn’t fix the problem..

So ‘uninstalling a project with any kind of merge module can have these side effects’

Have a good one!

Yo Mike,

As per you suggestion i uninstalled the setup of the project which I have installed previously and reinstalled set project project and everything works. My problem was on development machine and not at the deployment.

Hope others can sort out same by merely uninstalling and reinstalling the setpup package of thier project.

Thanks

We managed to resolve the problem. The problem is due to crystal report does not initialize with x64 configuration, we have to change to x86.

Step:
1. Install the crystakreportredist2005_x64.msm
2. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\CrystalReports\CRRedist2005_x86.msi
3. Restart server.

We have try to re-install few times, but still not successful. Also search for the registry on the machine and it do match with our development machine.

Mike,

Thanks for the post after finding the solution. It was dead on for me as well and you saved me a ton of work. I would not have thought to reinstall the application I had uninstalled thirty minutes prior to getting the error message.

Thanks Again,

Erik

It doesn't seem to have installed properly, as errors like that appear when files did not get registered. I would search the registry on your machine to find out which file that is related to, and try registering it on your production machine.
