Anyone using local print for a web-based RDLC report for the first time is prompted to install an (I believe) ActiveX component. Most of our users do not have Local Admin and their PCs are locked down by policy to prevent such installs. We need to get a copy of this install that can be packaged by our Desktop group and widely distributed.
Has anyone run into this? Does anyone have a link to a downloadable install we can give them? I've search Google, Microsoft and here with no luck...

Yes there is a redistributable version of the control you can deploy with your code, check below for all you need. I am assuming you know that the ReportViewer 2008 does not run in local mode that is SSRS 2008 license is required to use it. If you need one to run in local mode use the VS2010 version of the control because the product is in RC.

Hi, it is not clear if you mean you need the Report Viewer (as in the previous reply) or the Reporting Services Client Printing control....

so in case you wanted to know about how to deploy the Reporting Services Client Printing control , then try this article - it may be a little out of date, but should give you enough information to get it sorted...

The RDLC file is the file used by ReportViewer control however you can create the RDLC from RDL file so that means you need to get the redistributable file for the ReportViewer control.

I followed the instructions (or attempted to) in the above post. I can't find the DLLs listed in it on either my local PC or the web server that hosts my app that has the RDLCs in it.

We have no problem converting RDL to RDLC, deploying to the web server or rendering the report on a web page. The problem I'm trying to solve is distributing the software that is installed when you first click the Local Print button. Most of our users (about 28,000) don't have Local Admin so they can't install. I need to send it to our Desktop Client Automation group for certifcation, packaging and distribution.

Your post with the link to the Kodyaz article was perfect, it just took me a while to find the files.

Again I am not aware of Reportviewer web running without the Redist in your GAC or BIN folder but I could be wrong.

I am also not sure you can distribute the controls without the redist because I think that will be in your EULA.
