crystal report windows forms viewer - error in file

[Former Member]

I am using visual basic - visual studio 2005 with crystal reports version 11.5 and am getting the following error when deploying to a windows 7 32 bit machine

Error in file

c:\users\username\appdata\local\temp\tempmanynumbersandcharacters.rpt

The request could not be submitted for background processing.

All six reports for this application give the same error. There is not a problem when it is deployed to a windows xp machine. I have three other applications that do not have problems in windows xp or windows 7 32 bit. I can't see any difference between these three apps and the one have a problem in windows 7.

Thanks,

Jay

You do not mention if you searched the forums and the Kbase for the error... Using the search box in the top right corner of this web page will return KBases, Blogs, Wikis, articles and more. The following article should have been returned with a simple search;

See if it helps. If not, do a few searches as there may be other reasons not documented in the articles.

I had done many searches but did not see the document you pointed me to. I downloaded the latest CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm and that solved the problem.

Thanks,

Jay,

I have a similar problem which matches your basic setup - VB Winapp - VS 2005 - Crystal Report 11.5

My winapp opens the crystal report fine on XP but when I try to run it againts Windows 7 I get the error:

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

What steps do I need to take to fix this? What crystal libraries to I need? Do I have to change the reference in the VS 2005 project to point to a newer version of crystal?

What package (version) do I have to run on the users machine?

Thanks for your help.
