Crystal Reports error when deployed..Could not load file or assembly 'log4net

Question

Please help. I have a web application that was built in VS2010 and we are using the CR plugin for 2010 and everything works perfect on our local machines. When we go to deploy the web application to Server 2008 the application runs fine until we try to get to a report. When we get to a report we receive...

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.  

We have installed the CR2010 runtimes and the file log4net.dll version 1.2.10.0 is in the GAC so we are not referencing it in the application. When we add it as a reference we get this error no matter where we are in the application, not just on the report pages. Please help!

I received the same error message after accidently installing the x86 version of the crystal reports redist on a x64 machine.

Installing the correct x64 redist fixed the problem - http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0.zip
