CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.LoadSaveReportException: Load crpe32.dll failed

 

My application worked locally but after i installed the application on the server it stopped working & received the error “load crpe32.dll failed”. I found out that the application on the server is running framework 2.0, i changed it to 1.1 and it worked perfectly.

1. Make setup program to install your application on the server.
2. If you will copy the application to another map, leave the original copy and don’t delete it.
3. Change .Net framework for the application to 1.1.
