Hi all,
I am facing a problem with SQL Server 2005 Reporting services. I am
unable to create a Report Project in VS.NET 2005 because it gives me an error
saying “Could not load file or assembly
'Microsoft.ReportingServices.Designer, Version=9.0.242.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The system
cannot find the file specified.” I need to create a Report and deploy it on
the Reporting server.

My system has the following configuration:

Windows XP SP2
VS.NET 2005 Professional Edition
SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
SQL Server 2005 Express Advanced Tools (Reporting Services)
SQL Server 2005 Express Toolkit (Report Designer)

Thanks in Advance

I had an issue once with install order. I installed VS after I installed the
report designer.Try reinstalling the Express Toolkit (which I gather is how
you get the Report Designer). See if that helps. In my case (was regular
designer, not express toolkit install however) that is what fixed it for me.
