So, I've tried installing the Crystal Reports runtime on my server as well as copy all the DLL's from our old server to the new server. I copied my application over, and it's telling me:
Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework, version=10.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=blahblahblah' or one of its dependencies.
How do I get that??? The reference is in the GAC on the old server, but I can't find the DLL for that anywhere.
When you set up a new server, what exactly needs to happen to ready the new web server to be able to display Crystal Reports? I can not believe it is this difficult to accomplish this.
1) This error is occured because of version change of crystal report. Install Crystal Decesion pack 2005 as well as 2008 for 64 bit and 32 bit.
2) Set your DSN 32 bit and 64 bit both.
3) once try with set your application in classic pool.

Crystal can be, touchy to deploy and run if it's not your server (e.g. you don't have access to deploy there and possibly make tweaks). If it's your server, not a problem. Go get the Crystal merge modules from sap.com and install them on your server, then you will just need to reference them in your web.config. You may run into other issues with permissions (Crystal in some circumstances uses the C:\Windows\Temp directory to export files which hosted servers will at lot of times prevent you from using, I assume this is a throw back to the fact their codebase dates back to the Windows 3.x era).
I'm going to provide the links to the downloads page at SAP:

You're using version 10.2 (which is pretty old, Crystal is pretty good about backwards compatibility so if you're in a pinch you can use newer Crystal DLL's and they should export your reports fine).
I have a Crystal Reports application that is hosted in IIS on a windows 2003 32 bit Server. The Crystal reports version in use is Crystal Reports XI Release 2 SP 2.
We are migrating our applications to Windows 2012 64 Bit Servers. I am not sure if this version will work support on 2012 server.
Can anyone please tell me if it will work on 2012? If not, is there any workaround?
While it's not supported, you may have luck with updating your Crystal to service pack 6.
See this page for links/details on doing so:

We faced two scenarios using Windows 2012 64 bit Server and Crystal Reports 10.2.0.
In the first one, everything is working fine until now.
In a second one, I was working fine too, except when someone would try to save the report as an Excel file. It would crash the IIS ASP.Net process. Something on KERNEL32.dll, but I don't have the full message in English to post.
We tried to format the server and reinstall Windows 2012 Server, but it was useless.
We researched about it and all the references and possible solutions ended up at an orientation to install Crystal Reports 13.0.12.
We installed the newer version and everything is working fine.
Please note the the version numbers are a bit confusing. I always check the version number in windows "programs and resources".
I hosted my application on vertual dedicated server.(windows 2008 r2)
All the crystal reports are running on the local host.but after hosting application, reports are not working.I installed "CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_1" on the server.error message as below.
Could not load file or assembly 'log4net, Version=1.2.10.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the
file specified.
Please help me to solve this.
Log4net is an error reporting tool and is independent of Crystal Reports.
So, at risk of asking the obvious here but do you have the correct version of the log4net DLL in the Bin folder of your installed app?
Failed to load database information. Details: The database DLL crdb_ado.dll could not be loaded. Error in File (filename) Failed to load database information.
I am receiving this error when i try to run a crystal report from my page. on the server I have installed the CRRedist2008_x86 and the dll file is in the business objects folder, but for some reason it is still not loading. I also checked to make sure I have the msvcp60.dll which is also needed but still am unable to run the report.
The server is running Windows Server 2008, has Visual Studio 2005 installed on it (not sure if that makes any difference). The application ran fine on my local machine, but after uploading it to the server, it's not wanting to play nice.
Any suggestions/help is appreciated.
Thank You
You should get Dependency Walker and open the crdb_ado.dll to confirm all the required files are there. Although checking for msvcp60.dll is generally the right idea, I've found that people are often looking for the wrong version of those files OR that other required DLLs are also missing.
Also, be sure the redist you are using matches the version of Crystal Reports you have referenced in your project. There is a difference between using, say Crystal Reports 2008 on top of Visual Studio 2005,, versus using the BUNDLED Crystal Reports that comes with Visual Studio 2005 (Or 2008, or 2010 for that matter.).
In fact, sometimes people don't realize that their .NET projects are referencing the "comes with Visual Studio" edition of Crystal Reports because they happen to have Crystal Reports version <whatever> installed on their PC.
That said, if you are pretty confident your redist of CRRedist2008_x86 matches what you are using, I'd focus on Dependency Walker to see if it is indicating a missing required file for the crdb_ado.dll.
I have a few web applications running on the same server. Recently I added crystal reports for VS 2010. I thought to use new reports for several of projects but not all. Other projects uses the older version of crystal reports
So I modified the web.config of the required projects. I downloaded runtime on both my development machine and server. So now I have both versions of asseblies (v 10 and v 13) in GAC. I have .NET 4.0 on both macines as well.
It has worked on development machine
However, when I run the same projects on server it raises an error.
CS0433: The type 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportClass' exists in both 'c:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine\10.5.3700.0__692fbea5521e1304\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll' and 'c:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_MSIL\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine\13.0.2000.0__692fbea5521e1304\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll'
I am wondering why it works on my development machine and does not on server ? Do I have to configure something on server to make it happen ? Or do I need to add in someting in web.config file ?
If someknow knows it, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I had the same problem and fixed it by commenting/deleting assembly references which refer to version 10.5.... in web.config. In addition I had to change manually correct version to register assembly="CrystalDecision.... in the .aspx file where I use Crystal report components.
