Hi All am trying to launch report builder from report manager page in IE9 and i get .net framework not installed do you want to install .. blah.. But .net framework already installed and i even repaired .net installation again but to no avail. Yes am running in compatability view! btw when i load report manager page i dont see "compatablity icon" but i went to "compatability view settings" added our page to the list but still no luck. any advise much appreciated. thanks. BTW the pc am trying this on is windows server standard FE - 64bit and reporting services installed on a server with windows server 2003 prk

Hi prk, Just try this once, right click on the internet explorer icon and click Run as administrator. I was having the same kind of problem with windows 2008 and in IE8 i was not able to view report server, I did this and was able to view it properly. Just give it a go. Not sure but. Hope it helps. Regards, P.Anish Shenoy

Hi prk, All you have mentioned seems to be fine. Another thing I would like to check is the .net framework 3.5 installed successfully on your computer, please follow the article: How to check .Net Framework Version Installed to check if the .NET Framework 3.5 installer writes registry keys when installation has finished successfully. If .net framework 3.5 has been installed successfully, I am afraid the issue is most related to IE, please try to uninstall the IE and then re-install the IE 9, and then check if it works you. I also suggest you posting the thread to our IE 9 forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/ieitprocurrentver/threads, there are more experts focus on IE. If you have any question, please feel free to ask. Thanks, Eileen Forum Support Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help.
