Report Builder 2.0 not opening from Report Manager

  • I have a 2008 Reporting Services install that is executing Report Builder 1.0 when the Report Builder button is pressed in Report Manager. I have downloaded Report Builder 2.0 and installed it on my RS server. It is still executing Report Builder 1.0 from Report Manager.

    Is there a way for this button to execute Report Builder 2.0 when a user selects this option?

    I know I can load 2.0 on the users PC but this is something I would like to avoid.

    Thanks for the help.

  • I found the solution.

    Starting from SQL Server 2008 SP1 Report Builder 2.0 can now be deployed as a click-once application. However this is not the default behavior after you install SP1.

    If you click the "Report Builder" icon in the Report Manager, the old Report Builder will pop up.

    To change this go to the Site Settings and change the URL under "Custom Report Builder launch URL" to following:

    http://YourServer/ReportServer/ReportBuilder/ReportBuilder_2_0_0_0.application

    This should do the trick. Have fun with Report Builder 2.0
