I've looked at similar questions on SO, but nothing quite matches my issue as far as I can tell.
The exception message:
Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
The file is in my GAC. I am developing on a 32 bit machine (Windows 7) running VS2010, everything is .NET4. The target hosting machine is 64-bit Win 2008 R2. My local machine has the CR installation for VS2010; the hosting machine has the 64-bit runtimes for VS2010. I am compiling all my code in "Any CPU" mode for this web application.
It is blowing my mind that it cannot find the file in the GAC. This is an IIS application; is there some sort of permissions issue? I would think IIS would have access to the GAC.
Some suggestions of what to do would be appreciated.

The answer is
1) Change your .net profile from Client profile to to .Net Framework 4.0 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb398202.aspx
2) Check your Embed Interop Types flag
You simply need to install Crystal Report Report Run Time downloads on Deployment Server. If problem still appears, then place check asp_client folder in your project main folder.
Regarding the 64-bit system wanting 32-bit support. I don't find it so bizarre:
Although deployed to a 64-bit system, this doesn't mean all the referenced assemblies are necessarily 64-bit Crystal Reports assemblies. Further to that, the Crystal Reports assemblies are largely just wrappers to a collection of legacy DLLs upon which they are based. Many 32-bit DLLs are required by the primarily referenced assembly. The error message "can not load the assembly" involves these DLLs as well. To see visually what those are, go to www.dependencywalker.com and run 'Depends' on the assembly in question, directly on that IIS server.
