ActiveReports 6 FlashViewer not working when using the .net 4.0 Framework

Development Environment:

- Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Edition
- Visual Studio 2010 Pro
- Latest ActiveReports6 build installed (i.e. ActiveReports 6 Service Pack 1 Hotfix 1 Build 6.1.2814.0)

Experts,

I am trying to get the <ActiveReportsWeb:WebViewer> control with ViewerType="FlashViewer" to display an ActiveReports report in a project built using the .Net 4.0 Framework. However, I am getting a flash error when I try to do this saying "IOError while loading document. Reason: Error #2032". Below is a screenshot of the flash error:

As you can see there is a "Stack Trace" tab. When I click on this there is no information at all. Nothing - completely blank.

I created a brand new web application project and reduced the code down to the bare minimum and I am still getting the error. The following is my current code that is producing the error:

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

namespace ReportTest
{
    public partial class ReportViewer : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            DataDynamics.ActiveReports.ActiveReport report = new Report1();
            WebViewer.Report = report;
            WebViewer1.Report = report;
        }
    }
}

Open in new window

As you can see I have two WebView controls on the page. One using the FlashViewer, and the other using the HtmlViewer. Both being loaded with the same report (which the report contains nothing but a single Label control saying "Hello World"). The HtmlViewer works fine, the FlashViewer displays the error shown above in the screen shot.

If I create this exact same new project, except using the 3.5 Framework, then the report is able to display in the FlashView with no errors (i.e. working as it should).

I am running the application from Visual Studio, and as I step through it I see no errors in my code at all. It's only when the page finally loads that I see the flash error displayed in the browser. Also, this is happening in all 5 major browsers: IE8, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera.

Not sure what else to check or do at this point. Please advise.

Also, included this question in the Crystal Reports zone. I know ActiveReports and Crystal Reports are two different report packages developed by completely different companies, but they are extremely similar, so I thought maybe a CR guru might be able to help out.

From my googling, I'm am reading that this is produced when IIS is not configured correctly.

Well, what should I configure in Visual Studio, to get Visual Studio's virtual server configured correctly?
