Best Answer

The \lstinputlisting instruction replaces a lstlisting environment. With your input, you are asking not to interpret \lstinputlisting.

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{listings}

\lstset{basicstyle=\footnotesize\ttfamily,breaklines=true}
\lstset{framextopmargin=50pt,frame=bottomline}


\begin{document}

\lstinputlisting{C:/Temp/test.txt}

\end{document}
