sql server reporting services: After installing delphi 2005 I am getting a security exception when trying
to access the reports/report manager/web service of Reporting Services.
I think it is Borland related - the stack trace shows borland in there
now....How do I fix?

I uninstalled Delphi 2005 and the problem went away immediately......

I look forward to your solution. (I imagine I just have to give rights to
some borland assembly or something for Rptsvs..)

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for your posting!

It seems that the security module internal reports the error message, I
will make research to see whether others meet this issue before. You are
encouraged to see whether Borland guys have solutions to this issue.

Michael,
Exactly what did you find. What are we 'working around'? The problem
is what exactly? Isn't this an assembly rights issue, like when you install
that URL monitor DLL (security fix) from microsoft (forgot its name). You
would get these same sort of errors, until you put some magic entries into a
config file....

Hi Wayne,

Yes, you probably have to change the policy files to include some CAS (Code
Access Security) permissions for the Borland assemblies. See the following
information for more detailed information about how to set the Code Access
Security correctly

Hope this helps and if you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate
to let me know. We are always here to be of assistance!

Reinstall Delphi 2005 and press "No" when asked:

An entry needs to be added to the machine.config file to enable ASP
debugging for Delphi.
Would you like setup to add this entry for you now?
