I am banging my head against the desk for the best part of the day and cannot for the life of me understand this. An assembly that is clearly in the Global Application Cache is not found by the web app that is trying to use it. Everything I can find on the web assumes or explicitly states that there is no way to avoid loading from GAC, it's global and mandatory behaviour. And yet, in my case, it just seems to fail.
Assembly in GAC:
Error when an .aspx page tries to use it:
System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral' or one of its dependencies.

UPDATE: I tried to set "Copy Local" to "true" for the missing .dll so that it would be included in the project on build. Now I get a different error:

So the situation is that when the .dll is in the project, IIS finds both that and the GAC one, and complains about the conflict. When the assembly is not in the project, IIS can't find either. In addition, trying to open the GAC path that the error message shows (c:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\CrystalDecisions.Web) gives a "does not exist" error.
I am even more lost than I was before. What could cause such a weird behavior?
The GAC you opened is for .NET 2/3/3.5. .NET 4 and above use another location. Make sure you use gacutil.exe in .NET 4 SDK or VS 2010 (and above) Prompt to install the assembly.
I can't say for sure exactly what helped, but I uninstalled and reinstalled everything CrystalReports-related and then went over everything CrystalReports-related in the .config files, tweaking anything that looked out of place. Specifically, the last thing that I fixed before it started working was a missing PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304 in the CrystalDecisions.Web assembly reference.

One of your projects still targets 2.0 and it references another one which targets 3.0 or higher. Just make sure ALL your projects are upgraded and target the new version of the framework (3.0 from what you write).
Most probably this is the web site main project that still targets .net 2.0.
i have an .net application using visual studio 2005, when i try to run it from debuger , it shown an error like this, it looks like some dlls or modules files are missing, any suggestion on solving this error and how to find the missing moduls or dlls ?

Version Information:

why am I having this problem and how do I get rid of it?
Try performing a full solution build. If that doesn't work, click Build -> Clean Solution. If the error persists, delete everything in the C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\parktms folder and repeat.
when you see it has temporary folder, then you should guess everything will be ok after clean and build
I have an ASP.NET application
I developed my application pointing as target Framework the 3.5. I checked all the projects in the solution and all of them point to 3.5. I checked all the references and all of them at the most point to 3.5 (there is some 2.0).
My website is deployed in IIS 5.0.
I always receive the following error:

IIS 5? If you use Windows 2000, and install .NET 3.5, then this is expected as on 2000, there is no .NET 3.5 SP1. You will have to compile the assemblies against .NET 3.5 RTM. 2000 is end of support, so why not migrate to newer Windows versions?
If you have access to the IIS instance, try right locating your application in IIS and right click and choose the properties option. You should see a tab in the window that appears called "ASP.NET", make sure that the selected version is consistent with the one that your application is setup to target. If you do not see the tab for whatever reason, here is a link that may help you out.
I've been working on a project that's been a rather seat-of-the-pants experience.
We have MOSS 2007 and Silverlight 3 installed.
We're trying to make use of some new 3rd party software, Visual Fusion(http://www.idvsolutions.com/products_overview.aspx).
While working through the tutorial I ran into a bit of an issue. All I really have to go on is the guidance package and sample stuff they provided so it's still a little fuzzy.
Basically when I debug the project in Visual Studio 2008, instead of loading the default.aspx page, I get this on my browser instead:
Server Error in '/' Application.

I've spent the last few hours poking around for answers and it seems to be related to the fact that I'm running this all on a 64-bit machine, but all the references to workarounds I found were rather vague.
What other information do I need to provide to help pinpoint the issue? I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment.
if you're running on a 64bit machine, then ipso-facto the sharepoint installation is 64bit. Most of the sharepoint assemblies are x64 only, so this error is a result of your product trying to load the 64bit assembly into a 32bit process (running 32bit clr.)
Without knowing the product that's trying to load the sharepoint assembly, it's hard to tell what's going on. If this is custom code, set the project build target architecture to x64 and rebuild.
