Supported operating system for Microsoft Report Viewer 2015

Question

Supported operating system for Microsoft Report Viewer 2015

Adnan 6

Hi Support,
I have found the following supported Windows operating system on the Microsoft site for report viewer 2015

Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2012, Windows Vista Service Pack 2

As you know all of the above-mentioned operating systems except Windows 2012 are obsolete by Microsoft then why they are still mentioned.
I request you to update the supported operating systems on the Microsoft site.

Hope you will consider my request

Hi Adnan-5860,

The [openspec-*] tags are dedicated to supporting issues related to open specifications. You can find open specifications here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/

Since your question does not pertain to one of these specifications, I've removed the openspecs tag and added [sql-server-reporting-services]. Hopefully this will get your post the proper attention.

If I've misunderstood your question and you believe this is related to the Open Specifications documents, please clarify, providing the document name and section with which you have the question or issue.

Best regards,

Hello Joyzhao-MSFT

I can understand some users are still using earlier versions of the system but my point is that if the user is using higher versions such as Windows server 2016 or 2019 then they will be confused that this report viewer is not for them. I hope you understand what I'm saying.
Along with the lower version of systems, I believe we should mention Windows Server 2016 and 2019.
Let me explain why I'm asking you to do it, we have an application that requires a report viewer 2010 but as you know report viewer 2010 is not officially available on Microsoft, therefore the dev team chooses to integrate the report viewer 2015. Our application is designed to work with Windows Server2012, 2016, and 2019.
If we tell the customer that report viewer 2015 is now compatible, they would most likely complain because Microsoft doesn't specify that it is supported for Windows server 2016 and 2019.
I would like to suggest that update the list of a supported systems for report viewer 2015.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your prompt reply Joyzhao-MSFT,
I can understand some users are still using older versions of system but my point is if the user is using higher versions like Windows 2016 or 2019 then they will be confused that this report viewer is not for them. Hope you got my point.

I think we need to update the Windows 2016 and 2019 as well along with the lower versions.
