Error when opening Designer

When I try to open the designer (with exiting, e.g. tutorial or new project/package) I get the following error message:

Microsoft Visual Studio is unable to load this document:

Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.

After closing the project I have the following application event log error:

Faulting application devenv.exe, version 8.0.50727.42, stamp 4333e699, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, stamp 00000000, debug? 0, fault address 0x014fb87c.

I had the same problem. Any ideas anyone?|||I found the answer. Reformat and reinstall everything. As far as I can tell that is the only solution.|||

Did you find a solution to this? I am experiencing the same problem and hoping that a reformat and reload is not the only path.

Thanks

Richard

Error when installing MSDE

Hello Everyone

I have worked a little with MSDE mainly for the purpose of a tutorial book.

Right now I have just switched to an XP pc, and i am trying to install it once more, However I am experiencing severe problems when doing so, and i cannot find the correct answer, despite trawling thru these forums.

I am running the command prompt and

cd \sql2ksp3
then cd msde, followed by
Setup SAPWD=password SecurityMode=SQL
It then begins installing, and as it reaches the conclusion i get an error

Setup Failed to configure the server ,refer to the server error logs and the setup error logs for more information.

I just cannot work out what is causing this, i have plenty space on my pc, i am running winXP It seems so many people are having problems with MSDE

is there any way i can install it without a command prompt? or does anyone have a link to a proper installation guide.

Or maybe somone can help me with this problem

Thanks so much in advance

RaphaelIt seems like the Security Mode=SQL causes trouble. Try to install it with just SAPWD=password, I did and it worked

Error when deploying a report

I hope someone can help. I'm new to reporting services 2005, and I'm currently going through Microsoft's tutorial.

I can build a report no problem. But when it comes to deploying the report to a web page, the following message appears:

Build started: Project: Reporting Services Tutorial, Configuration: Production
Build complete -- 0 errors, 0 warnings
Deploy started: Project: Reporting Services Tutorial, Configuration: Production
Deploying to http://localhost/reportserver
Error : Response is not well-formed XML.
Deploy complete -- 1 errors, 0 warnings
========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========
========== Deploy: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========

This "reponse is not well-formed XML" error also occurs when I try to expand any of the folders from a "reporting services" server type in management studio.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Richard Powell

are you able to view the xml of the report in Visual Studio?

(right click on the file in solution explorer and select 'view code')

at least this will confirm that the report is well formed.

have you managed to corrupt the css for report manager?

I can but empathise, i'm getting mighty sick of this product..|||

Hello Adolf

I am able to view the XML code after choosing "view code" in solution explorer.

What do you mean by a css in report manager? I did say I was new to this.

For future reference, I have got this working now. When deploying the same report another time, a different error message appeared. Which was something like "The report server cannot decrypt the symmetric key used to access sensitive or encrypted data in a report server".

To stop this appearing, run "reporting services configuration" and connect to the appropriate server. Then click on "encryption keys" and click on the delete button that is under "delete encrypted content". After doing that, I am now able to deploy reports.

Error trying to open Reporting Configuration Tool

I just installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and reporting services (followed the video tutorial). Whenever I try to open the Reporting Configuration Tool, it gives me the following error:

SQL Server 2005 Reporting Configuration Tool has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvience.

My only options are to Debug or Close.

I'm not sure why I am getting this error. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Amanda

I would recommend reinstalling the reporting services components of SQL.

|||

thanks. how can I just reinstall that component? I've uninstalled and reinstalled SQL Server 2005 Express thinking that would solve the problem, but it didn't....|||

Hmmm...If reinstalling the whole kit and kabudle didn't solve it then I would doubt that reinstalling just that component would.

It almost sounds like an operating system conflict. What does it do when you click debug?

|||

it gives me the following error:

an unhandled exception ('System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception') occurred in RSConfigTool.exe [7680].

Then it gives me the possible debuggers to choose from

|||Have you applied SP1 or SP2?

|||

Just downloaded SP2 with Advanced Options. Not sure if it matters but I have SQL Server 2000 on my machine... Visual Studio 2003 and 2005...

|||OK so you have yet to install SP2? Let us know if you still get the error after installing it.

|||

No, I meant, that's what I have originally downloaded and installed.

|||

bump... still having this problem. Does anyone know what's wrong?
