Manual Install of Aspose.Words for Reporting Services on SQL 2008 R2 Server

Aspose.Words Product Family

I'm evaluating the .NET version of Aspose for RS,

Like many users I hit an error when trying to install onto a SQL Server 2008 R2 server. I tried the manual install procedure listed in the Aspose for RS documentation:

http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/wordsreportingservices/Installing+on+the+Server+Manually

In lieu of the paths to SQL Server 2008 I copied .dlls and updated configs under the SQL Server 2008 R2 folder paths but it didn't work...

Questions:

  1. Should the 2008 procedure work for 2008 R2 - if I copy the .dlls and modify configs under R2? Or is there a different procedure for R2?
  2. Do I need to register Aspose.Words.ReportingServices.dll in the GAC?
  3. Do I need to restart any services? (I restarted the machine and it didn't work)
  4. I'm installing v3.7.0.0 of Aspose.Words.ReportingServices.dll. Step #4 of the manual install instructions modifies a .config file and inserts a tag containing a PublicKeyBlob, is it possible the key has changed and I need a different key?
  5. Also in step #4 the Name="Aspose.Words_for_Reporting_Services" tag is not spelled the same as the Aspose.Words.ReportingServices.dll name, is this an issue? - I would the name should not matter, it should be driven off of the key - yes?

Any help is appreciated....

Nevermind I fixed it - I had copied the ReportingServices.dll into the wrong bin folder…
