Crystal Report 10.2.3600.00 on Windows Server 2008 R2

After trying almost everything on net to make Crystal report work , finally i got it working on our Production Server which had the following Configuration

OS : Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit)
IIS : 7.5

  • Just install Crystal Reports Redistributable Package for 64 bit
  • In IIS, set Application Pool as Classic
  • Set Allow 32 bit Application as FALSE
  • Set Connection User as the NetworkService
  • Assign the user  NetworkService to have write access to your Windows/Temp folder.
  • Assign the user  NetworkService to have write access to your Website folder (if you are writting temporary Crystal Reports inside your application folder as we were doing).  

And that's it :) after delaying the GO LIVE activity for a week, finally found the above settings can  solve the issue :)
