ReportBuilder

I installed RS 2005 on my machine. Everything works except the reportbuilder.
When I launch it I get the message
An unhandled exception of type
'Microsoft.SqlServer.ReportingServices2005.RSConnection.MissingEndpointException' occurred in ReportBuilder.exe
Additional information: The attempt to connect to the report server failed.
Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible
version.
Any ideasRoland,
Which build of SQL Server 2005 are you using?
Which OS?
Was it a clean install or after uninstall of earlier builds?
I don't recall seeing this specific error reported before although
there were some problems with early builds of Report Builder.
You might want to visit

for any similar reports.

Select @.@.version in SQL gives
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1116 (Intel X86)
Apr 9 2005 20:56:37
Copyright (c) 1988-2004 Microsoft Corporation
Beta Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
The reportbuilder.exe : version 9.0.1116.0, assembly version 9.0.242.0
Installed on a Windows XP (with SP2) machine
Is it possible that the fact my installed OS is Dutch, is causing the
problem ?

That was the April CTP.
Between then and now, there were 2 more CTP's. Probably a bug with that old
version.

April CTP was, if I remember correctly, only the second public build
with Report Builder in it. I remember having problems connecting to
Report Builder in one early build but don't remember if it was April
CTP.
If you have access to MSDN or BetaPlace I suggest you update to
September CTP. You will need a matching copy of Visual Studio 2005
(which is the VS2005 Release Candidate).
Uninstall order of the April CTP is VERY important. Read the Sept CTP
/ Visual Studio 2005 RC documentation CAREFULLY.
After a successful uninstall, the install order is SQL Server 2005
Sept CTP first then Visual Studio 2005 Release Candidate.

reportbuilder. Indeed the installation order is important; as I also have SQL
2000 with Reporting Services 2000/SP2 on the same machine I had to reinstall
also the SP2 of RS 2000 because the uninstall of the version of RS2005 also
influences the behaviour of RS2000
