Are you sure that you have included all the needed merge modules needed by CR? At least you should include three of them manually (Regwiz.msm, Database_Access.msm, Database_Access_enu.msm) and if using ADO.NET two more, VC_CRT, VC_STL. Howevr there is an article in Crystal Decisions Knowledge base whose title is: 'Err Msg: "Load Report Failed" after deploying .NET app to Windows 98 / ME'

Though not relevant to Win2k but still may help you

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in the article refers to:
Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET


Applies to:

Reported version only
Distribution
Internet Explorer 6



Synopsis

An application created with Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET is deployed to a Windows 98 or Windows ME client computer. When the application is executed the following error message appears:

"Load Report Failed"

The client has the .NET Framework installed as well as a Crystal Reports distribution package installed.

How do you resolve this error message?


Solution

This error message suggests that the query engine DLL (CRQE.dll) did not get registered correctly on the client computer.

To resolve this issue, manually register CRQE.dll on the client computer using the following command line:

regsvr32 "C:\program files\common files\Crystal Decisions\1.0\bin\CRQE.dll"

If CRQE.dll will not register or does successfully register and the problem persists, check the version of the ATL.dll on the client computer. The correct version of ATL.dll for Windows 98/ME is 3.0.8449.

The correct version of ATL.dll can be found and registered on the client computer using one of these 3 methods:

1. Install Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on the client computer.

2. Manually copy and register ATL.dll on the client computer and then run the Setup package for the Crystal Reports distribution again.

3. Include the ATL.msm merge module in your setup project. This will install the correct version of ATL.dll on the computer and register the DLL appropriately.

The ATL.msm merge module is included as part of the Visual Studio installer 1.1. Download the Visual Studio installer 1.1 from the Microsoft web site at:
