The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' threw an exception.

Just installed the pre-reqs and crystal ninja - here's the command i tried - followed by the error..
c:\CrystalReportsNinja -U portalreadonly -P xxxxxxxx -F c:\Completions_by_WorkCenter.rpt -E pdf

What is the "type initalizer"?

Are you certain the pre-requisites were installed properly? Did you install the following?

What OS are you using? Windows 10? 32-bit or 64-bit?

.NET 4.5

Thx for the follow-up. I didn’t check back on the requirements as I found that the free version of Logicity works good enough for our purpose.
