I'm a report writer who's been able to edit/update reports in Visual Studio 2008 (we use SSRS2008R2). I've just installed Visual Studio 2012 and when I go to convert my reports project it's not working as I appear to be missing a component.

Essentially - the project converts but in the solution explorer I see the message 'The application is not installed' under my project.

Beyond Visual Studio 2012 what else do I have to install to be able to edit rdl files in the visual designer like I could in Visual Studio 2008?

I have Visual Studio 2012 Premium + Expression Blend installed.

    Looks like Microsoft released a patch for VS 2012 that lets you work on SSRS 2012 reports. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36843 – influent Mar 08 '13 at 17:33
  • Working too in **VS2013** ? Or any dummy full source code sample ? – Kiquenet Jan 21 '15 at 10:36

SSRS development functionality became available for Visual Studio 2012 in March 2013.

The components needed for SSRS development are as follows:
