Hi sripadasatpathy,

According to your description,firstly I suggest you check the path C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ASP.NETClientFiles  which contains the source file of Crystal Report, then to use Crystal Report in your project you should add codes as below in web.config.

<configSections>
    <sectionGroup name="businessObjects">
      <sectionGroup name="crystalReports">
        <section name="rptBuildProvider" type="CrystalDecisions.Shared.RptBuildProviderHandler, CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=13.0.2000.0,Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304, Custom=null"/>
        <section name="crystalReportViewer" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler"/>
      </sectionGroup>
    </sectionGroup>
  </configSections>
  <businessObjects>
    <crystalReports>
      <rptBuildProvider>
        <add embedRptInResource="true"/>
      </rptBuildProvider>
      <crystalReportViewer>
        <add key="ResourceUri" value="/crystalreportviewers13"/>
      </crystalReportViewer>
    </crystalReports>
  </businessObjects>
