Crystal Reports for VS 2010 Redistributable installed - and not working

Question

I have a .net project using a crystal report. I am using VS2010 and targeting the .net 3.5 framework. Everything works on my development machine, but not on the production web server. I have installed the SAP Crystal Reports 32 bit redistributable package (SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET framework) on my web server.

I am still getting an exception saying "Type 'ReportDocument' is not defined."

Do I have to do anything other than install the redistributable to get my site to recognize the Crystal Reports objects such as ReportDocument?

You should include the following in the 'assemblyBinding' section either manually or by readding your references to CrystalDecision.

<dependentAssembly> 
<assemblyIdentity name="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine"    publicKeyToken="692fbea5521e1304" culture=""/> 
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="14.0.2000.0" newVersion="12.0.2000.0"/> 
</dependentAssembly>
