Question

Crystal Report 10 fails to load on Windows 2003 OS. We’re developing with .net 3.5 with C#.net.

It works properly on dev box which contains similar configuration but without a McAFEE Anti-virus software on it.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Error Message:

Answer 1

It was a permission issue. I set ‘NETWORK SERVICE’ user the permission on my ‘C:’ drive which had the application as well as the required softwares.

On giving the permission, the Crystal reports started getting displayed.

Thanks for the responses. Specially to @Arvo
