rsRenderingExtensionNotFound error using SSRS 2005

Question

Hi,

I am trying to use the Sharp-shooter Silverlight report viewer control.

This control has a server side component that renders the reports as XAML for displaying in the client side control. I have tried manually installing the rendering extension, according to the instructions on their website, and also the instructions on MSDN.

I have basically copied the dll's into the reporting services bin folder and added the following line to rsreportserver.config file:

<Extension Name="XAML" Type="PerpetuumSoft.ReportingService.XamlRendering.XamlRenderer,PerpetuumSoft.ReportingService.XamlRendering"/>

I've also added a line into the rssrvpolicy.config file as specified on their site.

After I made these changes I went into windows services and restarted the Reporting Services services but I get the following error when I try to run reports:

rsRenderingExtensionNotFound: An attempt has been made to use a rendering extension that is not registered for this report server

Is there anything else that I need to do to use a custom rendering extension within SSRS 2005?

Turns out it was a problem with the dll, after much to-ing and fro-ing with the guys at Perpetuum software they figured out the bug and put out another release.
