I'm building a SQL 2008 X64 Standard Edition instance on Win 2008. Once Cumulative Update 3 is applied to Service Pack 1 the following error is generated whenever I use any of the Standard Reports like "disk usage" for a particular database or "server dashboard" when logged on the server using the installed client tools. The problem does not occur from an external non-CU3 SQL2008CP1 client on a workstation, only on the server itself.
Thanks,
Nick
Instead of a report the following popup is generated, labelled "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio":
The file 'Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' cannot be opened. Do you want to remove the reference from the Recent list?
This isn't when accessing it through the recent list but through Reports/Standard Reports/
Because of this issue I uninstalled all shared SQL software, rebooted and reinstalled the client software from RTM release. The reports worked.
After installing SP1 the continued to work.
Again I installed SP1.CU3 and the reports failed again with the same error.
I used add/remove to remove the CU3 from the client AND the installed instance and the reports work again.
The CU3 release I installed was only the following as it wasn't clear on the release page that anything else was required: SQL Server 2008 All (Global) x64 sp1 SQL_Server_2008_SP1_Cumulative_Update_3
I thought I'd post this here, as I sniffed around on the net and couldn't find the same error message anywhere, except in this Indonesean language post, which didn't seem to go anywhere: http://belajarmicrosoftserver.blogspot.com/2009/03/sqlserver-indo-standar-report-sql.html
Anyone else seen this problem? Does installing CU3 on a server where you want to use client tools require installing SQL_Server_2008_SP1_Cumulative_Update_3 and SQL_Server_2008_SP1_Cumulative_Update_3_SNAC ?
Thanks,
