XL Reporter - microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition

[Former Member]

Hi,

When I right client a Report Definition and click Edit or Generate Report, I receive a pops up message (title Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition) that "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD Rom or other removable disk that is not available'

I did no installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition. So, I have no idea where that comes from, unless, it is supposed to be included in XL Reporter installation in order to run with Patch 36.

I am using SAP 2005A SP1 Patch 36, XL Reporter Patch 29. Anyone encounter that?

Hello,

I presume you have succeeded in installing XL reporter 29 but can't run edit.

Something happened in the MS VS 2005. I could imagine it maybe necessary as I have installed in PL 34 and in my notebook there is MS visual studio.

XL reporter is VB based. Another suggestion, try to escalate this issue to SAP support.

Jimmy,

Thanks for responding. It does pops up the message, but, clicking Cancel button will still allows me to run the report.

Just don't know what is missing. In my PC, there is also MS Visual Studio but, may not be a complete version as it is not something I have seperately installed. It could be part of installation from MSSQL 2005 or XP Pro.

Yeah, I have escalated to SAP Support. Just not sure what they comes back. I have never had good and helpful response from SAP support re XL Reporter so far.

Is there any relation ship between .net framework with VS 2005 ? I think when installing SQL 2005, it is included VS and .net framework.

Jimmy,

Thank you very much. Microsoft Excel 2003 Service Pack 2 was missing. Installing it resolves the problem.
