    Re: Error when i try to install Workflow

    Enterprise Reporting 7.5 SP5 has been shipped in October 2010 and supports now Windows 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008.

    One of our customers runs ER SP5, ER import Server and ER WebExtension on Win 2008 64bit machines without any problems.

    It's a little tricky to bring it to run because you have to use the 32bit odbc drivers.

    Re: Error when i try to install Workflow

    Not sure if this helps, but I got the same error with Windows Sharepoint. I needed to creade an SSD - Open sharepoint admin, and click the App Mgt tab. In here there will be some reference to Shared Service Provider. Add a new one and click OK and Shrepoint will set it up.
