The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' threw an exception

How is the application compiled?
Is it for 32 bit/64 bit/Any CPU?

This link from MSDN indicates to target x86 (32-bit)
Crystal is a 32-bit application so you should compile for that.

Hi mlmcc,

thanks for your kind response. how do you check platform settings in VS 2002 . I know in 2005 you can check in project properties. I don't see that option in VS 2002.

NA.

I don't know.  I am not a .net programmer.

If I recall correctly, VS2002 was probably 32-bit only so there may not be a setting for it.

I think VS2002 is for 32 bit only . application is not working on some 32 bit and some 64 bit machines.

I Could not find the registry value CLSID {CF76A644-314B-404D-8D45-F08B51FF990B} from the below error , this is common across all machine s that is throwing error . Is it licensing issue or am i missing some package to install? its related to Crystal reports version 10.0

Are you installing the CR 10 runtime files or msi?

mlmcc,

This is the error i am getting while loading crystal report in winfows form.
