A report may not display a graph or an embedded logo image, SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services may no longer work, and you may receive an error message in Visual Studio 2005

In Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, when you try to view a report by using ReportViewer and the report contains a graph and an embedded logo image, the report may not display the graph or the embedded logo image. Additionally, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services may no longer work. When you run Visual Studio 2005 on a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer, you may receive the following error message: On other Windows-based servers, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following: This problem may occur when any one of the following conditions is true:

• You perform a side-by-side installation of SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services when SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services is running on Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0.
• You install the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 and then register Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 on the host computer.

This problem occurs because the ASPNET account password is reset when you install the .NET Framework 2.0 together with Visual Studio 2005.

To work around this problem, you must update the SQL Server 2000 version of SQL Server Reporting Services. To do this, follow these steps after you install SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services::

2. At a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
   RSActivate –r –c rsreportserver.config
