Solution 1

Go into your Project Properties, Build tab and change the Platform Target to x86 instead of AnyCPU.

The reason it works on your machine is because you're using the 64-bit Crystal Reports runtime. That cannot work on 32-bit machines. Obviously, 32-bit machines cannot run 64-bit code and libraries.

You MUST also have the 32-bit Crystal Report Runtime installed on the workstations that are going to run your code. You cannot deploy just your executable.
