Error loading configuration file

[Michael Rodriguez]

I had VS 2005 RC installed along with the Sep CTP of SQL Server (tools only)
and it was working fine.

Then I installed VS 2003 on that same machine. Now, everytime I lauch VS
2005 I get this message:

The configuration file RSReportDesigner.config could not be loaded.
The type initializer for "Microsoft.ReportingServices.Library.Global"
threw an exception.

I don't even use reporting services. Does anyone know how to make this
error go away?

TIA,

Mike Rodriguez

Hi,

Never a good idea to install two versions of VS at the same time :) , Even
if in theory you can do it I will never do it in my production machine, it's
better to use another computer or a virtual machine.

One thing that always works is uninstall everything and reinstall, IF you
really need to have both at the same time you better install 2003 before
2005

cheers,
