Crystal Reports loading Error at runtime

Hello good people of vbdotnetforums!

Well I thought I had all my bases covered.. but then ran into a problem with viewing Crystal Reports on ONE machine... and I cannot duplicate this error...

Quote:

I see that it "cannot" load 'CrystalDecisions.Shared...' but I'm not sure why, It runs other Crystal Reports (made with older versions).

Maybe I'm not reading the error correctly...

I've double checked my prerequisites and believe that they are all there...

Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8
.NET Framework 2.0
Crystal Reports 2008

As I stated at the beginning of the post I am unable to recreate this error on other machines...

Any suggestions?

OK, I was able to recreate the error by uninstalling Crystal Reports on my computer... Now I've got a host of errors and warnings in VS.

I'll keep this thread posted as to what I've found...

Figured it out... somehow (I guess by installing the latest version of CR) I managed to break the viewer... So what I did was stated above uninstall CR to replicate the error, then uninstalled the Crystal Reports components from VS2005 then reinstalled them. After the reboot rebuilt my Report Viewer form and all was well... it runs on my machine again. Tomorrow I test on the problem machine.
