Can not start Report Builder!

I just setup my dev server of SQL 2005 including reporting service on Windows 2003 SP1. Basically all settings are default.

When I activiate Report Builder from local, it works fine. Everything runs smoothly. However, we I try to run Report Builder from a remote client, which is XP SP2. It always shows me the following error: "Application download did not succeed. Check your network connection, or contact your system administrator or network service provider." I don't think it's about permission issues. I am using the administrator group user. Besides the report builder activiation part, I can browser every part on report server website without error.

Do appreciate your help!!!

Answer this question

Can not start Report Builder!

  • Dau_Dat

    Yes, .net 2.0 is installed. Even I tried both released one and Beta 2. Both of them do not work.

    Weird part is I can launch Report Builder successfully from wireless laptop. But when I connected laptop back to wired network, same error came back. I suspect it's due to network settings.

    Any one has the similar problem

  • ThomasHo

    Silly question, but did you install the .net 2.0 runtime on your client box
  • thecker
