Why are my pdf Qual report templates no longer readable with report builder?

UPDATE-The more elegant solution can be found in this discussion.

(+) Report Builder 10.1/10.2 compatibility - Forum - Mass Spectrometry Software - Agilent Community

Hi Peter,

We just recently discovered a defect in the Quant 10.1 installer. The defect is that the installer is proceeding to uninstall report builder 10.1 (installed/used/required by Qual 10.0). 

We are proceeding to escalate this defect and develop a more elegant solution than the following workaround:

Qual 10.0 requires Report Builder version 10.1. This version can be installed directly from the Qual 10 media by running the ReportBuilder.msi under the "\ReportBuilder" directory. However - this installer will stop when it detects that Report Builder 10.2 is present (installed by Quant 10.1). 

Therefore, to proceed - one would remove Report Builder 10.2 from Add/Remove Programs and Features (via Windows Control Panel). 

Once Report Builder 10.2 is removed - the 10.1 install will complete successfully and Qual's editing functionality will be restored.

To make further modifications to Quant Report Builder templates - one would then re-install the Report Builder 10.2 included with Quant 10.1 (also available under the \ReportBuilder directory on that media), which will remove Report Builder 10.1 again. 

This is a very unfortunate situation that we are actively working to rectify - but for the moment this is the only solution.

Matt Leyden
