Answer 1

Solution

The solution is to work on IIS this way:

• Copy aspnet_client folder from c:\inetpub\wwwroot folder to the new website root folder.

or (first one is easier, second one is better for maintenance)

• Create a virtual directory called aspnet_client that points to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client inside the new website

Problem analysis

It's possible to analyze the problem

• using client tools (debug window of browser)

GET http://someserver:20080/aspnet_client/system_web/4_0_30319/crystalreportviewers13/js/crviewer/crv.js 403 (Forbidden)
GET http://someserver:20080/aspnet_client/system_web/4_0_30319/crystalreportviewers13/js/crviewer/images/style.css 403 (Forbidden)

• or server tool (IIS log , on WIN2003 is placed in %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC###\ on WIN2008 C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC###).

Cause the problem

Crystal Reports runtime is installed, but your application is not running under default web site.

• In both cases i found that crv.js and style.css some files were not served;
• these files are placed by CR installer in wwwroot\aspnet_client folder, but for some reasons they cannot be reached;
• In my case the reason is that i create a different website (port 20080) and aspnet_client folder is not placed inside that website

I can see that you use different versions of software and different configurations, but i think you have the same problem.

Answer 2

This problem was difficult for me to solve.

My Configuration is VS 2010, CR 14.0.2000.0 version, Window Server 2008 R2, IIS 7. I got the solution. I tried almost all solutions given in net. And I have implemented all tricks. Finally report displayed by commenting the below line in web.config.

<add key="ResourceUri" value="/crystalreportviewers13"></add>

Now am removing one by one which I installed and checking which are the things exactly required.

I tried all below:

• Installed CR Runtime for CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_4 and CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_4.
• Later I removed CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_4 still it works.
• Placed the aspnet_client folder inside WWWRoot folder.
• Placed the aspnet_client folder inside my application folder.

Restarted IIS when ever I did something.

1. You need to use Web Application Project,No Website Project because Web App will combine DLL to project also.

2. Copy C:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\4_0_30319\crystalreportviewers13 (you'll got it when you install -CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0.exe) To your project such as (ProjectName/crystalreportviewers13)

3. copy this below to your web.config

3.1

<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="businessObjects">
  <sectionGroup name="crystalReports">
    <section name="rptBuildProvider" type="CrystalDecisions.Shared.RptBuildProviderHandler, CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304, Custom=null" />
       <section name="crystalReportViewer" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler" />
  </sectionGroup>
</sectionGroup>
  </configSections>

3.2

<businessObjects>
      <crystalReports>
        <rptBuildProvider>
          <add embedRptInResource="true" />
        </rptBuildProvider>
        <crystalReportViewer>
              <add key="ResourceUri" value="/crystalreportviewers13" />
      </crystalReportViewer>
      </crystalReports>
    </businessObjects>

3.4 Publish your web application with FTP Mode to your any folder,and copy this publish to your web server then TEST it!
