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###).

2011-03-28 13:00:49 W3SVC701536 95.228.38.41 GET /aspnet_client/system_web/4_0_30319/crystalreportviewers13/js/crviewer/images/style.css - 20080 - 192.168.1.2 Mozilla/5.0+(compatible;+MSIE+9.0;+Windows+NT+6.1;+Trident/5.0) 403 6 64 Errore! 2011-03-28 13:00:49 W3SVC701536 95.228.38.41 GET /aspnet_client/system_web/4_0_30319/crystalreportviewers13/js/crviewer/crv.js - 20080 - 192.168.1.2 Mozilla/5.0+(compatible;+MSIE+9.0;+Windows+NT+6.1;+Trident/5.0) 403 6 64 Errore!

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.

Thanks so much for this. Took me forever to get fixed before I found your answer. It is indeed the issue where I used an additional web application as opposed to the default web application. – Foreleg 27/8, 2013 at 8:25

I have installed Crystal report, and I am using it on some desktop application. Now I am trying to implement it in asp mvc. The problem is that I do not have the c:\inetpub\wwwroot folder. I have also searched my computer for aspnet_client folder and it does not exit. What should I do? – Dispossess 5/5, 2018 at 13:7

I have found the folder aspnet client on some example project and just copy pasted it and it worked! – Dispossess 5/5, 2018 at 13:11

Correct... The IIS wwwroot must be copyed to new IIS folder – Doty 11/12, 2020 at 6:15

This problem was difficult for me to solve.

My Configuration is VS 2010, CR 14.0.2000.0 version, Window Server 2008 R2, IIS 7. I got the solution. I tried almost all solutions given in net. And I have implemented all tricks. Finally report displayed by commenting the below line in web.config.

<add key="ResourceUri" value="/crystalreportviewers13"></add>

Now am removing one by one which I installed and checking which are the things exactly required.

I tried all below:

Installed CR Runtime for CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_4 and CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_4.
Later I removed CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_4 still it works.
Placed the aspnet_client folder inside WWWRoot folder.
Placed the aspnet_client folder inside my application folder.

Restarted IIS when ever I did something.

"Placed the aspnet_client folder inside my application folder" is enough to solve the 'bobj' problem! – Lotz 27/8, 2013 at 13:21

The best answer for this question is here!

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vscrystalreports/thread/ef56f72b-7ede-47d8-ba9e-9e63b9ac0203

You need to use Web Application Project,No Website Project because Web App will combine DLL to project also.
Copy C:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\4_0_30319\crystalreportviewers13 (you'll got it when you install -CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0.exe) To your project such as (ProjectName/crystalreportviewers13)
copy this below to your web.config

3.1

<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="businessObjects">
  <sectionGroup name="crystalReports">
    <section name="rptBuildProvider" type="CrystalDecisions.Shared.RptBuildProviderHandler, CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304, Custom=null" />
       <section name="crystalReportViewer" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler" />
  </sectionGroup>
</sectionGroup>
  </configSections>

3.2

<businessObjects>
      <crystalReports>
        <rptBuildProvider>
          <add embedRptInResource="true" />
        </rptBuildProvider>
        <crystalReportViewer>
              <add key="ResourceUri" value="/crystalreportviewers13" />
      </crystalReportViewer>
      </crystalReports>
    </businessObjects>

3.4 Publish your web application with FTP Mode to your any folder,and copy this publish to your web server then TEST it!

One, unbelievably simple reason this also occurs is that the server isn't configured correctly, meaning, static content is not enabled in Common HTTP features under server roles/Windows features.

First manually publish the rpt files into your folder on the server. If it works, then its simply a deployment issue. Try making sure the build action for the file when you click on it is "Content". Try that see if you get a bit further.

Here is the solution that worked for me after hours of frustration (do these after you have made sure copying folders as recommended by others did not work..):

Scenario: CrystalReportsViewer displays a blank browser screen (no viewer or any blank reports page) View source shows the entire report content with the viewer code in there Browser may or may not display a bobj is undefined error

Test: Browse the folder http://<server name>/aspnet_client/system_web/4_0_30319/crystalreportviewers13/images/buttonl.gif - If you cannot see the images then that is the same issue what crystalreportsviewer faces when displaying the reports

IIS Settings to change: Expand the folders of your website in IIS (7.0 or above) Select "aspnet_client" folder Select "Authentication" in the main page (Features View) Select "Anonymous access" and Enable using the Actions menu on the right pane (this is for for testing purpose ONLY, you can disable this later) Select "Handler Mappings" on the main pane (Features view) In the "Actions" menu on the right pane Click on "Revert to Inherited" Accept to revert when prompted for confirmation

Test again: Browse the folder http:///aspnet_client/system_web/4_0_30319/crystalreportviewers13/images/buttonl.gif - if you the image that you should might as well fix your report

At least I could not find this solution documented anywhere..

Note: Do not forget to disable the Anonymous access to the aspnet_client folder in IIS if you had done it to test (like said above)

It can simply solve the problem if you copy your aspnet_client folder from C:\inetpub\wwwroot to the folder of your newly created website. For example if your website name is TestWebsite then place aspnet_client folder inside the TestWebsite folder. You do not need to make configuration changes in web.config

I know it was asked some years ago. But this method worked for me. This is for people that someday will encounter this kind of problem.

I created my application in a 32 bit environment and changed to 64 bit. I deployed my web application in IIS web server (current 64 bit) and created my own application pool (having the "manage pipeline mode" into integrated).

Then when this report issue happened, i followed those instructions from the link. I changed the "manage pipeline mode" into classic and my application worked.

A possible scenario is that the IIS Server web site is not defaulted to C:\inetpub\wwwroot as this is where by default Crystal installs it's application files in the aspnet_client\system_web\4_0_30319\crystalreportviewers13 folder.

So a possible answer is to set the website Physical Path to c:\inetpub\wwwroot

Add this reference to the crystal report javascript in your master page or page rendering the report:

<script src='<%=ResolveUrl("~/crystalreportviewers13/js/crviewer/crv.js")%>'type="text/javascript"></script>

In my Case I just updated SAP crystal reports Runtime Engine for .NET through Apps and features , I was using crystal report version 18 in my development server , when I deployed the App to another server ,I got this error , then I checked the version I did not get the version , only I got installed date , so I updated to last Version ... and it Worked

Undesigning answered 19/8, 2017 at 16:44 Comment(2)

Updated the engine to what? A newer version? How do you check the runtime engine? What do we check for? – Edgy 19/8, 2017 at 17:14

Go to Apps and features , you can check version from there , I was using crystal report version 18 in my development server , when I deployed the App to another server ,I got this error , then I checked the version I did not get the version , only I got installed date , It was like 3 months before version 18 released , so I updated to last Version ... and it Worked. – Undesigning 21/8, 2017 at 6:19

Add below code in aspx file where crystal report exist.

<script src="../../aspnet_client/system_web/4_0_30319/crystalreportviewers13/js/crviewer/crv.js" type="text/javascript" > 
</script>

Also copy aspnet_client folder from c:\inetpub\wwwroot folder to the new website root folder.

This method solve below two issues, Now working fine

bobj is undefined.
Crystal report not displaying.

i know this is a bit little old post but i think the novis like me can get help from this. add this code to your web.config file and copy "crystalreportviewers13" folder from "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client" to your root directory

<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="businessObjects">
  <sectionGroup name="crystalReports">
    <section name="rptBuildProvider" type="CrystalDecisions.Shared.RptBuildProviderHandler, CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304, Custom=null" />
       <section name="crystalReportViewer" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler" />
  </sectionGroup>
</sectionGroup>
  </configSections>
<businessObjects>
  <crystalReports>
    <rptBuildProvider>
      <add embedRptInResource="true" />
    </rptBuildProvider>
    <crystalReportViewer>
          <add key="ResourceUri" value="/crystalreportviewers13" />
  </crystalReportViewer>
  </crystalReports>
</businessObjects>

Something else that you can do is to change the "virtual access path". After checking Chrome's console and network view I noticed that the applications wasn't reaching the js and css resources since this was set to the name of the web project, so set this to / and this did the trick.

I was also facing the same issue, got it resolved. when website is hosted through IIS, then Web.config needs to have below setting :

    <add key="ResourceUri" value="~/crystalreportviewers13"/>

When website through is hosted through Visual Studio then

    <add key="ResourceUri" value="/crystalreportviewers13"/>

Solution is very simple just check if these folders exists .. c:\inetpun\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\4_0_30319\crystalreportviewers13\js\crviewer/

if not exists then simply make copy of the existing folder and change the last number

in my case i changed folder name to crystalreportviewers13 from crystalreportviewers14 and it started working and if you are in shared hosting copy aspnet_clients folder to your project root

to find the exact name of the folder just see the page source and search for aspnet_client
