Been struggling here. I have done the instructions exactly as outlined. When trying to create a report I get a FileNotFoundException. Could not load file or assembly log4net version 1.2.10.0 Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304
I had the same issue before, inside the installation folder of Crystal reports search for log4net.dll, and put it inside your solution inside Libs folder, and add reference from your project references to this DLL, and try again.
