I started getting this error message last week... I had been using the report and links to excel & sharepoint for months...
Any suggestions?
Unexpected error: The specified key is not a valid size for this algorithm.
Parameter name: key Key length: 40
Details:
Microsoft.Mashup.Evaluator.Interface.ErrorException: The specified key is not a valid size for this algorithm.
Parameter name: key Key length: 40 ---> System.ArgumentException: The specified key is not a valid size for this algorithm.
I will try this again... It had worked for me about a month ago. Then I found another file/ cache reference for CACHE.KEY in the forum. I found and deleted, but that didn't help.
I still seem to have the issue.:( Any other ideas?
