We are getting the following error in Active Reports v11.1.9726.0.
The type initializer for ‘GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Framework.Implementation.PanModeBehavior’ threw an exception. —> System.IO.IOException: The directory name is invalid.
This seems to only occur with certain windows users.
Other windows users can log into the same machine and the reports will work fine.
Is there a known issue and/or is there a way to fix it?

Hello,
From the exception " System.IO.IOException: The directory name is invalid", we understand that there must be the path related problem. Please make sure the all windows users have access to the all resources which are used in report.
If problem still exits, please share with us the sample report to reproduce the issue at our end.
Thanks,
Mohit

All domain users are an administrator on that Virtual Machine, so that shouldn’t be the issue.
Thanks,

There is no way possible to “share a sample project” for this type of error.
Some users will get the error and some will not on the same VM.
Thanks,

We ran some tests on the two Virtual Machines giving us problems.
It appears to be something about the user account control on those machines.
Both machines are running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard.
The UAC setting is the same and has not been changed from the default for any user.
I changed the application shortcut to always run as administrator, even though everyone is already an administrator of those PCs.
Before this change, some users could run reports in the application and some could not.
There was no specific report this was an issue in, it was all reports inside the application.
The change to run the application as administrator did allow them to run the reports.
However, this is a huge windows security issue. We can’t ask all of our customers to set their users up as administrators on every PC!
We need a fix to this issue badly.
Thanks,
Dennis

Hello,
We are sorry, it is not possible to replicate the issue at our end without any steps or sample. Could you please elaborate in detail about your application, way to use it and at what step exception is occurs?
Also, could you please recheck with a simplified AR application? And it will be very helpful for us to replicate the issue if you can share a demo application which shows the same issue.
Thanks,
Mohit
