Hello all,
Just wanted to outline these (obviously wrong and idiotic on my part :) ) steps I took, and hope for a correction from you guys:
1. I never got around to installing VS2k8 on this computer, and still had vs express. I downloaded the trial version of telerik reporting. I ran the Telerik_Reporting_2009_2_807_trial.msi that I downloaded from my account.
2. I realized this wouldn't run without full vs2k8, so I got the CD out and installed it, updated latest service packs, and rebooted.
3. I went into VS2k8, and noticed the 'telerik' menu tab on top, so I thought I was good. I went to the instructions on how to create a new report.
4. I clicked add new project->class library, then did not notice any such report as mentioned in the documentation (on the item templates)
5. Dejected, I searched around the forums, and found a post about someone having a similar issue, and one of the Telerik staff provided a zip of the missing files and where to install them (in the common7\ide, etc, etc folders)
6. After doing this, I noticed they are now successfully added, however am getting this error (I cut the rest of it out for brevity but it seems to be a common error where most solutions involve running gacutil /f <assemblyname). I don't seem to have any assemblies, or anything for that matter.
error: this template attempted to load an untrusted component 'Telerik.Reporting.Design, version=2.5.8.414, Culture=neutral,.."
So, shouldn't the installer have given me everything I need? Any idea why it didn't in my case? What should I do from there? I tried repairing/reinstalling obviously but no love. My guess is that the zip I took was from an older version and I need the latest or something like that (the instructions said to put the files in the visual studios 8 folder but i have 9.0 (i have 8 but nothing is in there))
Thanks so much for your help!!
Mike
