Crystal Reports with VS 2008

Question

I am en Error while generating report on my VPS server (Win 2008 64 bit). The project is working fine on my local pc with VS 2008. I have tried re-installing crystal, recompiling for x86 CPU and enabling 32 bit applications in application pool settings. Still no luck.

The error screen is as follows:

An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime.

Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly.

Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi) containing the correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64, or Itanium) required. Please go to http://www.businessobjects.com/support for more information.

Install CRRedist2008_x86.msi on your web server.

Depending on the version you're using, there may be a copy on your local PC at

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v6.0A\\Bootstrapper\\Packages\\CrystalReports10_5

That's it!.
