My friend Carl posted this as a comment to one of the longer threads on Analysis Services and Project Server with the ActiveX Component Can’t Create Object. error – but thought it worthy of top billing and a fresh post, as I know others have struggled with this one. Your mileage may vary and I know there are plenty of permutations of versions that might still catch you out – but over to Carl;
So we resolved our particular issue of installing EPM & configuring CBS into an existing MOSS 2007 / SQL2008 / RS2008 environment where the SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Technologies (correction) Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Technologies is installed….
Installed SQL 2005 components from December 2008 feature pack on app server
- Native client
- Backwards compatibility
* note: Management Objects not installed due to SQL 2008 reporting services add-in for SharePoint wouldn’t let it (Higher version already installed)
Then we installed these bits on app server to get things working
- SQL 2008 native client (needed as we got the issue “Cannot connect to Repository” when we only had the 2005 native client installed)
- XMO 2005 cu5 – to get around the previous issue noted re RS Add-in (BriSmith – I think this is the link – http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972511/en-us, but Carl can correct me)
… we went around the houses a few times to get to this end point. Hope it helps someone else 🙂
