Ok I've visited this one before, but now I'm just a tad scared, because first I had the VS2003 .NET 1.1 bits working on the server, then I went through the whole IIS and VS2005 .NET 2.0 CR bits.
Now this morning I got email from a user that one of the reports is pooting... argggg...
And it's the infamous "Load Report Failed" error.
I tried and of course, it poots on my system as well :( ... I tried the .NET 2.0 "Merge" version and wow... that sucker just flies .. cool!
So back to Google and a bunch of people looking for the same info as always.
I dropped back to my blog post about the last time CR kicked me in the teeth on this one, and went to the VS2005 d/l page I posted. It took me a bit to find the generic d/l page for everything (boy wouldn't you just hate to support CR???) .. but I found the generic download everything page here, and the specific VS2003 page here.
I did the setup.msi for VS2003 the same as the one I did for VS2005 and now things are swell, including the .NET 2.0 build... thank goodness!
The only thing that bothers me is I thought I already did that setup once. Maybe I found a different post that didn't have all the goodness in it. I just checked the GAC on the server, and since I didn't take a copy of what was there before, it didn't drop a whole bunch of files in like the .NET 2.0 one did... I really can't tell anything other than the fact that it's running.
"Don't wake a sleeping baby" ... good words to live by, and that baby includes Crystal Reports :)
Stay in the 'Light!
