'Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms

Using Visual Studio 2019, I have created a Crystal Reports .Net Executable and it runs fine on the PC that it was built on. However, when I copy the exe application to another system and try to run it, I get the following error message:

 Message="An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The 
 error is: Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms, 
  Version=13.0.4000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its 
  dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

You probably forgot to install the SAP Crystal Reports Runtime for .NET Framework using their msi file. Or perhaps you installed using the 64-bit version while your app is 32-bit or vice-versa.
