RS Web Parts on SharePoint 2007

Hi,

I'm having troubles connecting the webparts on SharePoint 2007. I installed the RSWebParts package from SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services on my MOSS 2007 box. The installation went smoothly and I can add both Report Explorer and Report Viewer on a page. But when I try to connect RE to RV I get the following error:

An unexpected error has occurred.

Web Parts Maintenance Page: If you have permission, you can use this page to temporarily close Web Parts or remove personal settings. For more information, contact your site administrator.

So I have to go to the maintenance page and remove the web parts.

Have anyone managed to bypass this and make them work together?

Thanks,

Hi kiral,

Not sure if you have already solved this one, but the answer lies deep within MSDN, and I only just found it yesterday after much googling and heartache.

For Web Parts to communicate yuo need to specify -globalinstall on the STSADM.exe command line.

If you have already installed them without this you need to first uninstall them, then reinstall with the -globalinstall flag.

Why on earth this was not the default instead of the other way round though, only Microsoft knows.

Happy to Help.
