getting error message while trying to publish web application on server having crystal reports

Question

Hi I am trying to publish my website on the server which is having crystal reports. I am continuously getting an error message

"Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=10.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

I have tried everything.. tried searching a lots of forum but couldn't find a solution. The application is working fine on localhost, but when I publish it on server I am getting this error message. I am using Visual Studio 2008 and crystal reports basic for visual studio 2008.

I have tried publishing in .net2.0 and .net 3.5 but still get the same error message. I am publishing my first web application so any help would be greatly appreciated.

you can see the error at www.vcsenterprise.com/cr7/

Also I am hosting on a shared server and the hosting provider have informed me that they support crystal reports 10.

Thanks and Regards,

Download the Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime Package for the .NET Framework from here and install it on your server. This should solve your problem. I had the same issue when deploying one of my applications on a server without the runtime files.
