Can't run SSRS Projects SSBIDS

I'm trying to open an Reporting Services project in Sql Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (which looks a lot like Visual Studio 2005). This project was copied from another computer where it runs normally. I get the following error when trying to open it...

Package Load Failure

Package 'DataWarehouse VSIntegration layer' has failed t load peoperly (guid = etc..). Please contact package vendor for assistance. Application restart is recommended, due to possible enfvironment corruption. Would you like to disable loadinug for this package in the future? you may use 'devenv /resetskippkgs' to re-enable package loading.

I also tried to create a new Reporting services project and I got the following error....

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer, Version=9.0.242.0...blah blah.

Some of my research so far says the first message could be related to having ran a beta version of vs2005 on this system which I did. However the ordinary vs2005 asp.net project appear to run normally.

How can I fix this problem?

Thanks,

Gary

First thing would be for me trying to reinstall the Reporting Services package. If that doen not help, reinstall VS and the reporting package with prior removing all related stuff from the server. if you had beta products from VS / SQL Server installed use the cleanup utility from Microsoft. That often helps more than getting the old installation to work properly.

"cleanup utility from Microsoft" ? What is that? How would I get it?

Thanks,

Found it. Ran it. found install of beta vs2005 version and ran it on that. Didn't make any difference. Still have same error.

I had the same error messages (wouldn't let me open an existing BI project or create a new one). I spent at least 4 hours struggling with this and various other posts on this issue. I found it strange that microsoft's forums are full will this question but there is no official solution from them on this issue. I wish they published a knowledgebase article on this that took care of the issue for once and for all.

Anyway! What worked for me is that I installed Microsoft SqlServer Express client tools. I already had SqlServer 2005 (client tools) , Sqlserver 2005 express (database only), and Visual Studio 2005 professional installed. The order I had initially installed was that I had first installed VS.Net 2003, then installed SqlServer 2005 (client tools), then Visual Studio 2005, and inally SqlServer 2005 Express (database only). Somewhere in between I had installed the reporting services, however I don't remember exactly the sequence for this. To make the matter wors, I had installed some of these on D drive (to save on C space), as many of the posters have reported that this can also cause the issue.

Its unlikely that you may have the same problem as I, but just in case!
