Hi Trisha,

Thank you for your kindly separate the post, however, please make sure you
are using MSDN Registered account when post your questions so that our
system will filter it out for us, which will make your questions answered

I am not sure why another post of you didn't be filtered out this time. I
searched google.com and found topic "installation trouble" should be your
new thread. Please *repost* your questions with MSDN account so that we
will answer it soon.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are always here to be of

Hi Trisha,

I am sorry but I still cannot find that post in our system. I used
google.com and found it

Personally, my suggesion is checking file MSOLAP80.Dll to make sure its
version is 8.00.0760. If it is not, copy a this version's MSOLAP80.Dll from
SP3a package and then retry the "Browse Data"
