Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll

Hi there,
I am going through the process of migrating an existing web solution from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2010.
As part of that I have installed the recently released Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010.
One of our projects has a reference to 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine and everything seems fine within Visual Studio 2010, but when I try to run the solution I get the following error.
System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll' or one of its dependencies. is not a valid Win32 application. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800700C1)
I have set up the projects to target .net framework 4 and started by setting them to compile for 32 bit....
This is quite frustrating so any ideas would be very much appreciated.
Kind Regards
Robert

Hi Don,
Yes, it is set to the full framework... I am running on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine.
One thing I have noticed is that if I try to load the crystal library through Depends (an application that shows the library dependancies), the different libraries that CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll depend on are listed as 64 bit (on my machine), yet 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll is a 32 bit library... this is flagged as an error in depends... In fact the first time I ran it it also couldn't find IESHIMS.DLL (because it is not in the PATH) by default. Anyway, there is no 64 bit CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll that I can see so I'm a bit confused. In fact I am a lot confused.
I have not as yet tried to building a fresh simple test solution with a crystal reference in it..
Thanks
Robert

Could not load file or assembly CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Desktop.User

I had briefly looked into Crystal Reports within my Visual Studio 2008 solution. However since the project needed to be done quickly I removed the report and the references to Crystal. Now I have deployed my application using Publish onto my QA server where I am getting the following error. I checked my references, webconfig and imports to make sure the solution didnt have anything tied to Crystal and found nothing. Why am I getting this error when I am no longer using the product? Is there some way to remove the requirement for the assembly? I also tried installing the Crystal Reports 2008 basic redistributable to my server with no luck.

There has to be a reference to it somewhere in the project or it would not be throwing the error.
You will have to recheck each page, references, web.config, compile options, etc, until you find it.
Make sure you don't have it in a using statement or are referencing it directly in code.

Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=12.0.2000

I downloaded the trial version of CR 2008 in order to test an update of a report from Crystal 10. I would also add that I am using CR 2008 embedded in Visual Studio .Net 2005. I was able to successfully upgrade the report and run it without issue from the .Net debugger. However when I deploy the report to the users machine when it attempts to display the report I get the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKey Token=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot fined the file specified.
Since I was able to successfully deploy the report with CR 10, my question is do I need to purchase a version of CR 2008 in order to deploy? I just want to make sure that this is indeed the issue prior to making the purchase. If that is not the case can you please point me to proper deployment procedures for 2008, perhaps there is something I am missing.
Thanks much for your assistance,
Mike

I will assume that when you are viewing the report you are using a custom app which uses CR 2008. To deploy your app you will need two things:
1. The Runtimes
2. A valid Keycode
You can obtain the Runtimes here:
Runtime Downloads
CR 2008 msi: https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100005985862008E/cr120_redist_install.zip
CR 2008 click once: https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100005986302008E/cr120_clickonce.zip
CR 2008 msm: https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100005985842008E/cr120_mm.zip
You can also find these by going to here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessobjects-downloads
and selecting "Crystal Reports", ".NET", and "Utility"
I'm not sure if your eval keycode will work to deploy - but even if it does, the application will eventually stop working when the eval period runs out. If you want it to keep working, you will need to purchase a permanent keycode.

Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Web,?

Hi to all,
I created a webapplication using crystal report11.5, Asp.net2.0-C#.
The same web application older version developed with crystal
report10, that older version is installed in other machine it has
CR 10.0 version only , the client dont like to install one more
setup for CR11.5, so what i did is i build the lattest version
application and copy the dll into the older version bin folder
and pasted the
CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm, CrystalReports11_5_NET.msm to c:\program files\common
files\merge modules now i run that older version application
now it raise an error like
Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Web,
Version=11.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its
dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
May i know why it happens, i added the lattest version web application dll and msm then why it raise this error and experts help me how to resolve it. This is my urgent work please help

Hi;
I'm not sure how you deployed, but from the sounds of things you simply copied the .MSM files to the client computer - is that correct?
What you need to do is create a runtime package on your development computer, adding the .MSM to that package.
Or you can install the NET Server install .MSI file on the client ([download|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009657852008E/crxir2sp4_net_si.zip])

Could not load file or assembly CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controller

Hello
I am getting this error in Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7 64 bit.
Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692....1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I installed CR redistributable on the workstation and verified that the file does in fact exist and is the correct version.
Please help.

Hi Ludek, thanks for your reply. Sorry if I'm confusing you, but I'm a bit confused myself
Here is what I hope is a better explanation.
The way it works is that we have a web application in IIS on Windows Server 2008 64-bit. What we do is copy the templates (ASPX files) and bin (DLL) files to the Windows Server's IIS via Team Foundation. The files are accessed with a web browser. We don't compile/debug because previously, our CMS's code behinds were mixed C# and VB and the application would not compile. However, the files can still be accessed via a web browser and the dynamic website worked fine. "Debugging" was done via trial and error on a testing server.
Now, we have upgraded the CMS so all the code behinds are C# and the site should compile. One of our web apps (that doesn't use Crystal Reports) has compiled successfully and I am currently doing the second one. I am trying to compile the whole application for the first time on my workstation, but the Crystal Reports DLLs are causing errors. I used the 64-bit re-distributable Crystal Reports for Visual Studio version 13_0_1 because I wanted to make sure I had the same version as our Web servers.
We do not run the web app from the IDE (have never been able to), except for now when I am trying to build/compile on my workstation via Visual Studio. In production it is accessed on the web server via web browsers only.
I hope this makes more sense as to what I am trying to do. Thanks for the link but I am afraid if I install 13_0_2 I will start getting version conflicts.as the server has 13_0_1 64-bit.
Thanks for your help so far and I hope this helps!

A couple things here:
Your application is referencing the Windows form dll for the bundled version of Cr that comes with VS.NET 2008 and NOT the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime. You need to change the references in the project to 12.xxx assuming you have Crystal Reports 2008 SP0 installed (this is needed for it to work with .NET 2008)
You need to make sure you deploy the runtimes for the appropriate version. If you get your application upgraded to use all of the CR 2008 runtimes you will then need to deploy the runtimes to the machine you are deploying to. You can do this by using the merge modules or the server install msi to get them on the machine.

The programs was running ok, I just added a new label to the application, installed it again and then the error comes.
PLEASE HELP

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi AlbertJ,
Did you include the DLLs that are in the programs folder with the original installer, or did you just copy them over? If you included them, did you include them individually or did you use the merge modules?
I would try adding the appropriate merge modules to the installer, re-install, and see if you still get the error. There is a Measurement Studio help topic called Measurement Studio .NET Merge Modules that can help you determine which merge modules you need to add. There is also a Measurement Studio help topic called How to: Add Merge Modules to a Deployment Project if you need help adding them.
Let me know what you find.

On Windows Server 2008 R2 I have installed dot net framework 4.5 and also installed CRruntime_64bit_13_0_2 msi . Bus when I run the application It gives an error could not load assembly .

Yah, remember it is not the "bitness" of the OS that counts, it is the "bitness" of your app. E.g.; compiled as 32 bit, use 32 bit runtime on 32 bit or 64 bit OS. Compiled as 64 bit, deploy 64 bit runtime to 64 bit OS. Compiled as any cpu, deploy 64 bit runtime to 64 bit OS, 32 bit runtime to 32 bit OS.

I get the above error when I run my visual studio 2005 .Net application and attempt to view the embedded crystal report. I've deployed the application using the crystal reports merge module.... what would cause this issue?

Post Author: ejthunder
CA Forum: Deployment
Hello,
You didn't say which merge modules you deployed, and you didn't say which version of Crystal you're using. With VS2005 you could be using the bundled CR.NET 2005 version (v10.2), or you could be using CR XI R2 (v11.5). Each will have a different deployment process.
Since you didn't post enough detail it's difficult to know where to direct you. You can start at Crystal's merge module download page;
http://support.businessobjects.com/downloads/merge_modules.asp
For CR.NET2005 (bundled v10.2) you have to build your own setup package using these merge modules:
http://support.businessobjects.com/downloads/merge_modules.asp#07
This file name - Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 2.0 x86 Redistributable Package (32 bit)
For CR XI R2 (v11.5) you can build your own setup package or download a prebuilt MSI from this link:
http://support.businessobjects.com/downloads/merge_modules.asp#06
crXIr2sp2_net_server_install.zip - Prebuilt MSI.crXIr2sp2_net_merge_modules.zip - build your own setup package.
Be sure to read the deployment document linked here as well - crxi_r2_net_deployment.pdf.
I hope this helps.

I am using Visual Studio 2008 with basic Crystal Report. My application runs on my local machine but gives me the error listed in subject when I attempt to run it on a shared web hosting account. Can you please tell me how to resolve this?
Also, from what I found on the web, it appears that I need to include CRRedist2008_x86.msi in the distribution package of my web application. If that is so, do I simply add this file to my project and every thing else will be automatic or do I need to set some option to make this work?
Another thing, will I need to install something on the web server to make Crystal Reports work?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If you are using Crystal that comes with VS2008 then you need to use the msm files that is available under the Crystal Reports folder inside MS VS installation folder. Create a setup file.
If you are using CR2008 sp0 then you need to get the runtimes from our [site|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm].

Hi There,
My app doesn't work on client machines after install. Running this CRRedist2005_x86.msi fixed this problem for other deployments, but we might be using a different version of something or the other. Any help fixing this would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Crystal Reports 10 is the seperate product and the Crystal Reports 10.2 which bundles with VS2005 is altogether a different product.
You need to download this -
Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 2.0 x86 Redistributable Package (32 bit)
Which is Under this heading -
Merge Modules for Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2005 This file contains the latest merge modules required for deploying .NET applications using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2005. These merge modules may be incorporated into MSI-based setup packages to include the appropriate runtime files.
And you need to make a installation package of merge modules with your project.
For more information about making a installation package take help from [Dev library|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/sdklibrary].
hope this will help!!

Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime
Crystal Reports for .NET framework 2.0 (x86)
Server Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.1433; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.1433
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727 SP1
Installed Edition: Standard
Crystal Reports 2008
CR Developer
Version 12.0.0.683
Product Type: Evaluation
I also have Crystal Reports XI on the development pc
CR Professional
11.0.0.2495

My development pc has this directory for CR 2008
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\2008\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
The \2008\ directory is my doing to prevent the 2008 install from overwriting the XI install. Was this a bad idea?
- Absolutely the worst idea I could think of. Crystal reports is side by side compliant since version 9. You do not need to, should not do any modifications at all. I have no idea what this has done to the system or even how this works as is...
On the development pc
Sort C:\WINDOWS\assembly by Version,
I can find CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Template Engine 12.0.1100.0
version 11.0.3300.0 also exists
On the server in C:\windows\assembly
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Template Engine is not found
Other CrystalDecisions... assemblies version 12.0.1100.0 are present
In the original post you mention that you are using .NET 2005. Yet, you only see CR assemblies of version 12.0.1100. These assemblies can not be used in .NET 2005. The really confusing part is that the error is telling me the app is looking for assemblies of version 12.0.2000.
Look in the .NET project for the CR assemblies. What version of the assemblies are you referencing?
