Cannot find Keycodev2.dll when running ASP.NET project

I recently lost the hard disk on my development laptop and while I had copies of my source code and databases, I had to reinstall VS.NET 2003 and other applications. I created a virtual directory and copied my ASP.NET application and it works as it used to, however, when I now try to open one of the embedded Crystal Reports I get the "Cannot find KeycodeV2.dll" error.

I've looked at many possible solutions however none of them work. I also no longer see the 19-digit keycode when I select Help > About in VS.NET. This is a production application that I can't release new features for unless the Crystal Reports issue is resolved.

Any proven solutions to this "annoying" problem will be greatly appreciated.

First let me say 'Thank you' for saving me hours or trawling through sites where lots of respondents 'guess' at what they think the question or answer is.

I'm not sure which piece (or combination of pieces) solved this problem but I don't recall having to do any of this when I set the application up on my original development environment. I wasn't getting very far with the dependency walker which suggested I need DWMAPI.DLL which, according to other sites is not required for XP. Modifying registry settings is not my preferred way to solve problems but I believe the ASPNET permissions were probably the biggest contributor to the solution.

Having said all that, I truly appreciate the prompt and detailed nature of your response and now have the application working as it was before.
