Possible issue with Vault and Sql Server Reporting Services

Version: 2.6 question:

This one seems really strange, but when I open a reporting services project from vault I get the following error:
Deserialization failed: File or assembly name
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Interfaces, or one of its dependencies, was not
found."

At first it never occured to me that this could be a Vault issue. (In fact I'm still not convinced) but when doing a google groups search I came across an other vault user who seems to be having the same problems. I'm wondering if somebody could look at this message from the microsoft.public.sqlserver.reportingsvcs group and comment:

(sorry about the long url --- i don't make these things up --- i just use them)

Cheers,

I'm not familiar with the report designer/reporting services, but what the MS guy said at that URL makes sense - if the serialization assemblies are not in a standard location, then it would fail to load them. If you can copy them to the standard location, it should work.

As a side note, we will be getting away from .Net serialization in an upcoming 3.1 release, and using our own, so eventually this won't be a problem.
