Ever since the Visual Reports feature was added in Microsoft Project 2007 (if memory serves me correctly), I have found this feature to be a bit flaky. If I had one US dollar for every time I have seen that "An unknown error has occurred" error dialog, I would be a wealthy man. 🙂
Whenever I see that error message, I simply try generating the Visual Report again until it finally works. I am not aware of any permanent fix to the problem. Sometimes I am able to generate the Visual Report on the first try, and sometimes I have to try again and again until it finally works.
What happens if you try generating the Visual Report multiple times? Do you eventually succeed? Or is the process failing every time? And if it fails every time, is the problem limited to specific projects or to all projects? Please let us know and we will try to help you.

Dale_HowardMVP I was having this problem on and off but could keep retrying and eventually the report would run. Sometimes just renaming the file would do the trick.
As of yesterday, no success at all. Have you found any resolution?
