Issue

XL Reporter Startup Failed

Symptom

An Error occurred during the process “Report Initialize”. Description:(666) Error!

Cause

This is a problem in .NET 2.0. The reason is that there is a “shim database” in the registry that the runtime reads to determine if an application that is about to load the runtime via COM interop really needs an earlier vesion instead. XL Reporter uses.

Resolution Notes

Confirm that .NET 1.1 is installed on the computer.

Download the attached file to . ..\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE14 for Excel 2010 \Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12 for Excel 2007 or ..\OFFICE11 for Excel 2003 or ..\OFFICE10 for Excel 2002 on the clients with .NET 2.0 installed. (Note the folder maybe under Program Files (x86))

This .config file tells the Excel.exe to use .NET 1.1 to run.
