Solution

The solution is to work on IIS this way:

  • Copy aspnet_client folder from c:\inetpub\wwwroot folder to the new website root folder.

or (first one is easier, second one is better for maintenance)

  • Create a virtual directory called aspnet_client that points to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client inside the new website

Problem analysis

It's possible to analyze the problem

  • using client tools (debug window of browser)

GET http://someserver:20080/aspnet_client/system_web/4_0_30319/crystalreportviewers13/js/crviewer/crv.js 403 (Forbidden)
GET http://someserver:20080/aspnet_client/system_web/4_0_30319/crystalreportviewers13/js/crviewer/images/style.css 403 (Forbidden)

  • or server tool (IIS log , on WIN2003 is placed in %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC###\ on WIN2008 C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC###).

Cause the problem

Crystal Reports runtime is installed, but your application is not running under default web site.

  • In both cases i found that crv.js and style.css some files were not served;
  • these files are placed by CR installer in wwwroot\aspnet_client folder, but for some reasons they cannot be reached;
  • In my case the reason is that i create a different website (port 20080) and aspnet_client folder is not placed inside that website

I can see that you use different versions of software and different configurations, but i think you have the same problem.
