BadImageFormatException Error with Report Builder

  • Yeah, yeah, me again.

    One of our users receives an unusual error. He is able to open the Report Manager site, launch the Report Builder tool, select Model and Report type successfully, however, when he tries to drag and drop a field into the report, he receives the following error from the JIT report debugger:

    System.BadImageFormatException: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B).

    Other users (myself included) are able to open and run these reports. The user in question has an atypical pc build (he's a Director) so it's likely that there's a conflict, but any suggestions on where to where to start looking for a solution?

  • BadImageFormatExpception is related to 64bits and 32bits used together, if he was a developer the quick solution is to use any CPU for compiling the code, so you may need VS to run in his box so he can use any CPU, if there is a way to use any CPU in SQL Server I have not seen it.  I use any CPU against Oracle and there is no problem but I run VS Team suites.

  • The user is not a developer, and I'd be suprised if he's running VS.

    I'm checking into the whole 64-bit thing.

    Thanks for the tip!

  • Nope, CPU is a Centrino Duo, which as far as I know is 32-bit.

    Will keep looking and let you know how I get on.
