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.
