After installing WSUS on Windows Server 2012, i did sucessful configuration.

Nevertheless when i try to run oen of teh report it tells me that i need «Microsoft Report Viewer 2008» after downloading i tried to install.

But installation fails with dependencies on .Net Framework 2.0 , which i can’t install without Server Roles and features. but .Net framework 4.5 is already added as server role.

Thanks that worked fien with me.

I documented teh WSUS install also for others under

Oh godie. lol totally get it i share the same frustration with you as a new admin. After what I learn in college you will think that Microsoft would have your work ready to install but man. I need so many work around in my environment that is easy to realize why there is so many tech software companies that claim to be the best one time shop stop fro your IT infrastructure that in the end is just not enough.

I feel your pain to a degree, but have to add this little nugget.

This is server software designed with admins in mind, admins that kjnow they need to do their homework before installing mainly to ensure they aren’t going to break stuff but also because what they’re installing hasn’t been treated to the kind of niceness you get with consumer level software which is meant for folks that just want it to work and isn’t mission critical stuff.

Just think in terms of the Linux world, yeah I know you can use the repositories and its made out to be super easy but things dont pan out that way.

MS has to make sure people are being careful as the buck stops with them if they package something up for your server in a ‘hey this just works in any config’ method, which could then break something else you have running, to do this they would have to envisage every single type of server app configuration and all the dependencies, know if one version sits alongside another or overwrites it, etc etc.

Point I’m making here is on a server level its in your own best interests to know whats going to happen, know whats being installed, know what risks and attack surfaces you expose by installing and know whether what your installing will interfere with any other app/service you have already running. Seems frustrating and I also get to that point but logic wins in the end, complex things are complex, to dumb it down would do us all out of work 🙂

Install “Microsoft Report Viewer” on Windows Server 2012 R2

I am attempting to install Microsoft Report Viewer (2015) on a web server.

The web server is a Windows Server 2012 R2 (x64) instance. The web server will be running a .NET application that uses the Report Viewer in an «.aspx» page. The web server is a fresh install, with .NET 4.6 installed, and select components from IIS and other features installed. There is a separate web server that hosts the SQL database and SSRS.

The System Requirements for Report Viewer indicate .NET 3.5 or 4.0 is required, as well as Microsoft System CLR Types for Microsoft SQL Server 2014 be installed.

I attempted to install SQL Server System CLR Types setup from a link provided in the Related Resources section, but get this error:

Microsoft Systems CLR Types for SQL Server 2014 requires the .NET Framework version 2.0 or 3.0 or 3.5 or 4.0. Ensure that this requirement is fulfilled before installing Microsoft System CLR Types for SQL Server 2014.

MS CLR Types can be installed from the provided link, or select features can be picked from the Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Feature Pack page (click download, and check boxes of what you want). I attempted this install method and got the same results. I did not try the entire feature package.

I have looked at the registry for the server, and I see the expected versions of .NET in there. I have looked at the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64 directory, and see the expected folders in there.

What setup is missing or is required to get Report Viewer installed?
