Solution 1

Do you mean you are getting error while creating setup? or after installed by the setup file?

"load report failed"

This error occurs by following scenarios.

Invalid File path
Invalid File name
make sure the IIS user has permissions to access the file at that location
No access for C:\Windows\Temp directory in Server, ASPNET machine accoutnt to be added to the Temp directory
If possible delete unwanted files in your Temp Directory

or you have to specify username and password attributes for <identity> tag in Web.config file for identifying the IIS Authenticated Account or User

<identity impersonate="true" userName="accountname" password="password" />

So try these things & after then you face the same issue then come here with full details along with exception message.

No need to add the Crystal report. Just add Pre-requisite for the Crystal report during Deployment.

Hi sambritto, I never created setup for windows applications with crystal reports(I was created setups alone for applications) since I'm mostly working in web applications. Check my updated answer for setup creation with crystal report.
