Setting Report Builder 2.0 as the Default ClickOnce Report Builder Version (Native and MOSS Integrated)

Once you've installed SQL Server 2008's SP1 (download here), I'm sure you'll want to have Report Builder 2.0's click once feature activitated.  By default, SSRS will still call Report Builder 1.0 application.  Here are steps needed to enable click once for Report Builder 2.0

To change the default ClickOnce application in Report Manager for "Native" mode:

  1. Start Report Manager 

  2. Click Site Settings.

  3. Click General in the left pane.

  4. In Custom Report Builder URL, type /ReportBuilder/ReportBuilder_2_0_0_0.application.

  5. Click OK.

 To change the default ClickOnce application in SharePoint Central Administration for MOSS Integrated mode (note you'll need to download the SP1 update for MOSS Integrated mode, plus the Report Builder Click once update as well...both found here):

  1. On the Start menu, point to Administrative Tools and then click SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration.

  2. On the Central Administration page, click the Application Management tab.

  3. Under the Reporting Services section, click on Set Server Defaults

  4. In Custom Report Builder URL, type: /_vti_bin/ReportBuilder/ReportBuilder_2_0_0_0.application.

  5. Click OK.

Report Builder one-click-deply should be installed on each WFE in your SharePoint farm. UAC will often prevent the install from working (esp on W2K8) so remember to run the setup as administrator. There is also a bug with 64Bit install that prevents setup from running. You can hack the msi to remove the dependency checks.

Is there any way to use a custom Report Builder URL in WSS?  We only have one model and I would like to pass that in when someone adds a new report using Report Builder.
