Report Builder wont start up.

Nico Felten 96

I have installed SQL Server Express, and Reportbuilder (latest versions), but when i click on the startup menu reportbuilder, it doesnt start up.
For a bit the reportbuilder screen appears, but then closes again.

How do I get it to start?

Hello buddy, i don't know if you've already found the solution, but if you haven't, here it goes: Delete this file C:\Users\"change to your user name"\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Report Builder\15.0.0.0\user.config . The report builder will open again and the file will be recreated. Hope it helps, greetings.

The problem occured this time when I installed SSRS 2022 on top of sql server 2019. The previous time it was on SSRS 2019. Thesame, but this time reinstalling didnt solve it.

Hi @Nico Felten ,
Did you receive any error messages during this time? Please try reinstalling Report Builder, and if the issue is not resolved, please attach the error message as much as possible.
Also, try using Process Monitor to capture the information. Process Monitor is an advanced monitoring tool for Windows that shows real-time file system, Registry and process/thread activity. For more information, see: FIX REPORT BUILDER CRASHING ON LAUNCH!

No error messages, the report builder screen just appears briefly, and then goes away and nothing more happens.

Have you tried reinstalling?

Personally I find software that doesnt install, should be sent back to the development table and not be released.
