Software FX Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 As you can see the version of ChartFX.ReportingServices.dll and other Dlls in Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\Private Assemblies, is OLDER than the one in your installation folder (2286 instead of 2335), this will cause problems. Please do the following: - Close ALL programs - Stop SQL Server and SQL Server Reporting Services (all services) using the SQL Server Configuration Manager - Uninstall Chart FX for RS. - Delete ChartFX.* from "Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\Private Assemblies" - Delete "Program Files\ChartFX For Reporting Services" - Re-install Chart FX for RS - Try to create a new report with a Chart in it, if this works, try to open one of your existing reports. Also I do not see here you SQL Server folder, is it in another drive? Chart FX files are also installed inside SQLServer. Please remove them from the as well before re-installing. -- Francisco Padron www.chartfx.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 So... I followed your instructions with the following exceptions; before re-installing ChartFX, I modified the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\RsReportDesigner.config and removed the node that referenced ChartFX. I first tried creating a new report with a new chart, and I was able to use the "Chart Tasks" popup. Woohoo! Then, I tried it on an old chart, but it didn't work, I kept getting "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" errors - I deleted the old chart and added a new one, and voila, it works. Now, the question remains... should I install the service pack? I'm going to wait until I get my chart done this time.

Software FX Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Yes, you should install the service pack, after installing, verify all DLL versions again and in the case that there are differences, copy the newer dlls on top of the older ones. Let me know if this is the case because this should NOT happen, all locations should be updated automatically. Make sure VS and SQLServer are NOT running when you install the Service Pack. -- Francisco Padron www.chartfx.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User (Legacy) Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Well, there is something wrong with the service pack. It broke my install again. Dlls in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies were NOT updated. I then copied over the old dlls with the new ones, as directed, which seems to fix the problem.
