I’m trying to use Aspose.Cells version 1.5.2.
I want to go ahead with the manual install, but the article is extremely confusing:
1) The registry table that you specify does not exist, so I have no idea where to put the registry values you specify
2) There is no mention of where to download the DLL file from. You only have the MSI available for download. I tried to install the MSI and pick up the dll from the target inside Program Files (x86), but there are multiple instances of the dll file in there (Do I use the one in ReportViewer2008 or in SSRS2008 ??)
3) Is the Aspose.Cells.ReportingServices.dll.config file what has been typed in the instructions? Is that we save at the specified location?
4) …\Microsoft SQL
Server<SQL Server Instance>\Reporting Services</span>bin folder does not exist. Do you mean …\Microsoft SQL
Server<SQL Server Instance>\Reporting Services\ReportServer</span>bin ?
5) I’m not sure what you mean by SQL Server
version is 9
Here is the install log from the MSI install if it is helpful in any way:
