Crystal Report VB.net Application - Client PC Issues

[#1]

Hi,

I created my second Crystal Reports application and I am having issues getting it to work on a clients PC. Based on what I learned from my first application, I know that I needed to install the runtime on the clients PC, which I did. When I run the app, nothing happens. No exception is thrown or anything. I see the mouse wait cursor come up (the spinning windows cursor) for about 5 seconds and then nothing happens. The odd thing is that I am able to run the code from my PC just fine when I use the msi setup file I created. I have no idea where to look to figure this out... Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I went through the event viewer on the client PC and found two critical errors, which is concerning because I have all of my code inside a try catch block and when it throws an exception it should be emailing me.

The Error messages are below. I understand the System.IO.FileNotFoundException, but not Error #1.

Error #1:
