[2005] Crystal Report Exception Error

snufse · February 26th, 2008, 10:49 AM

I am using Crystal Report as part of my application. On my development machine it works fine. When I create a set up project and install on another PC I get error. Any ideas what is wrong?

Code:

System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled
  Message="An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details.  The error is: The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' threw an exception."
  Source="QtyComparison"

Looks like some part of Crystal Reports isn't installed properly, but other than that I have no idea.

I know I try to help, but there are better forums elsewhere for Crystal Report type problems.

Also, try searching google for your error, as I suspect others have had this problem before.
(try "The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocu ment' threw an exception" in google).

Here is the package information. It looks like it includes the 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll'.
