title: Winforms Crystal Report - "Failed to load database information" error
body: <p>I have developed a small crystal reports win forms application that connects to an Access DB in the local network and shows a set of basic reports.</p>
  
  <p>I used VS 2010 for this. </p>
  
  <p>I used the 'DAO' connectivity method to access the DB in the VS 2010 Database expert option (Yes, Its all done in the GUI). It works all fine and dandy in my 32 bit dev machine and an Win XP VM machine that i tested it on.</p>
  
  <p>However, I setup the reports on a Win 7 64bit PC and I get this error.
  <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/UHCHr.png" alt="Error screen shot"></p>
  
  <p>These are the installations I made on the 64bit Win 7 PC:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Fx 4 (64-bit)</li>
  <li>.NET Framework 4 Client profile (x86 &amp; x64)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>What I have read till now is that the 64 bit CR runtime engine is ot shipped with the dll (crdb_dao.dll) which is available in 32 bit version.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions... Any workarounds?  </p>
  
  <p>Appreciate your help :-)!</p>
