Q: When accessing calculation tab in Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) I am getting error "Unexpected error occurred:Error in application".

A: Most likely this error is caused by mismatched SSAS dlls: msmdlocal.dll and msmgdsrv.dll. To fix this move copy this 2 dlls from folder:

c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\

To folder:

c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Ole DB\

Note: Before replacing any dll make sure you backup them to safe location.

1.Hey man..thanks a lot for this…i have a similliar problem with this but am using Visual Studio 08 and Sql server 08, so it seems like the solution you posted here does not work in my case. Can u help me with a solution to prevent my program from crushing and automatically closing when i click on calculation tab of the cube toolbar in analysis service..

Error:unexpected error ocurred error in the application
in tab Calculation in analysis services

if you have visual studio 2005 and 2008 installed in your pc. you must copy the dlls:
msmdlocal.dll and msmgdsrv.dll

from %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\
or
from %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\


to %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\System\Ole DB\

Thanks so much for this post! I ran into this same trouble yesterday when I had Office upgraded. This seemed like a much simpler solution than figuring out how to reinstall BIDS, so I tried it. Voila!
