I'm working on a project and have run into an issue. When I run my code I get this error message:
The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.Shared.SharedUtils' threw an exception
The title of the message is "TypeInitializerException was unhandled".
I receive this error at this line of code:
this.crystalReportViewer = new CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer();
I've been looking up ways to fix this issue, but I keep running into another issue. Everything I find about how to fix this says that the platform target should be changed to x86. All the comments that follow that advice are always positive because it seems to work for everyone, but it's not working for me. I also tried the platform target as x64. When I do that, I don't receive the previously stated error, but instead I receive a new error that reads:
The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.
The title of this message is "InvalidOperationException was unhandled". And the error is on this line:
db.Open();
db, of course, being set to a new OleDbConnection(connection). connection = an Access db.
Why am I receiving the first error and not the second error when platform target is x86, and vice versa if the platform target is x64?
