Unable to cast COM object of type 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ReportSourceClass'

Question

I have 2 windows program.

Program A : create with visual studio 2015 with crystal report SP18

Program B : create with visual studio 2017 with crystal report SP22

I have a computer with crystal report runtime SP 18.

I run program A in that computer. Program A can create report. I run program B in that computer. Program B cannot create report. So, i upgrade the crystal report runtime to SP22. The result is Program B can create report.

Now the problem is Program A cannot create report after the upgrade. The error is :

System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast COM object of type 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ReportSourceClass' to interface type 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ISCRReportSource'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{98CDE168-C1BF-4179-BE4C-F2CFA7CB8398}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).

Answer 1

After googling a long time, i found the solution.

The solution is add below code in app.config/web.config
