I have a aspnet 4.5 website with a ew reports made using CRforVS2012 13.0.9. The reports are working fine in the development environment (Widows 7 SP1, VS 2012, SQL Server 2008 R2). All reports work fine and get exported in to pdf using a httphandler. But the reports do not work when I try to host the website in the same machine and try to view the reports. I get an error message 'Operation not supported. Document processed in JRC engine can not be opened in C++ stack'. A bit of research indicated that this could be due a a host of issues such as
(a) Not installing correct CRforVS runtime redistributable.
(b) The website not being able to find the report document due to access right restrictions to the temp dir of the ApplicationPoolIdentity or due to incorrect report path specification in the website.
Therefore I installed the Runtime Redistributable and checked the path specifications of the report for correctness. I also checked that the ApplicationPoolIdentity has access to its temp directory.
There were also suggestions of copying the aspnet_client folder content from c:/inetpub/wwwroot to the website folder. The web.config file was also altered with additions of <add embedRptInResource="true" value="/crystalreportviewers13"/>, after copying the crystalreportviewers13 folder into the website folder as well as to the wwwroot folder. All these actions are based on the suggestions I found on various related posts.
However, I continue to get the same error message.
I also read that it would require me to change the website project to a WebApplication Project, which I dont want to do due to time constraints.
Any one has any suggestions?
