Having a LOT of problems trying to apply some updates to SSRS

  • (let's see if I can get this posted before the site wipes out what I've written again)

    I've been doing some SSRS develop on my work laptop, using Visual Studio 2017. Weeks ago some updates came out for VS 2017 for other development I do, so I applied those changes. That negatively impacted my ability to do any SSRS development. Now, it doesn't work here at all. So I've been waiting for Microsoft to come up with another update. That update came out a day or two ago, along with 2 updates to SSRS and SSAS development. I applied them all, or at least I tried to. I have been trying for hours to install some updates to Visual Studio 2017, related to SQL Server. The updates aren't large (~250 MB), but it takes at least an hour with each attempt.  I've made 3 tries, trying something different each time in an effort to make it work. It just hasn't worked for me. I've got to use these for some SSRS development I'm working on. The error from the latest attempt is:

    10/4/2018 9:32:47 AM - Install Error : Microsoft.VisualStudio.ExtensionManager.BreaksExistingExtensionsException: This extension cannot be installed because the following extensions contain dependencies that would be broken as a result of this installation:
    - Microsoft Integration Services Projects
    - Microsoft Reporting Services Projects
      at Microsoft.VisualStudio.ExtensionManager.ExtensionEngineImpl.ExtensionRequiresAdditionalOperationForInstall(InstallableExtensionImpl extension, IInstalledExtensionList modifiedInstalledExtensionsList, Boolean isNestedExtension, InstallFlags flags, Boolean& performExtensionUpdate)
      at Microsoft.VisualStudio.ExtensionManager.ExtensionEngineImpl.InstallInternal(InstallableExtensionImpl extension, InstallFlags installFlags, IDictionary`2 extensionsInstalledSoFar, List`1 extensionsUninstalledSoFar, IInstalledExtensionList modifiedInstalledExtensionsList, AsyncOperation asyncOp, IProgress`1 progress, Version targetedVsVersion)
      at Microsoft.VisualStudio.ExtensionManager.ExtensionEngineImpl.BeginInstall(IInstallableExtension installableExtension, InstallFlags installFlags, AsyncOperation asyncOp, Version targetedVsVersion)
      at Microsoft.VisualStudio.ExtensionManager.ExtensionEngineImpl.InstallWorker(IInstallableExtension extension, InstallFlags installFlags, AsyncOperation asyncOp) 

    What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do to get this to work?

    Not sure what's not working at all but the error looks similar to the error that is thrown when you need to uninstall the SSRS and SSAS extensions (and restart VS) and install the latest versions of the extensions.

  • I could give that a try, thanks Sue.
