Nothing happens when pressing the Report Builder button.


When I press the Report Builder button on the report site homepage, nothing happens. I can see that IE is trying to open reportbuilder.application on a the report server, but I do not see any dialog requesting me to allow the application to run. When I log in on another PC with the same credentials I can create reports using Report Builder.
These are the details I get when running the application directly from the server.

I noticed that "Intranet_Same_Site_Access", "Intranet_Same_Directory_Access" and "Trusted_Same_Site_Access" groups were not available in the Machine codegroups of .Net 2.0. I imported them from a system where the Report Builder did work, but this did not seem to make any difference. Finally I repaired (install - repair) .Net2.0 distributable and now everything seems to work. Don't know exactly what was wrong.

Hi,

I'm glad you were able to fix the problem. If you have more questiosn about Report Builder, you can post your questions on the SQL Reporting Services forum:

We know there are perf and usability problems using Report Builder with TFS, so we don't recommend using it. We recommend using Report Designer. Please see this post for more details:
