You or an administrator can install Report Builder on your computer from the Microsoft Download Center. For more information, see Install Report Builder.

When you start Report Builder from the web portal or SharePoint site, if an earlier version of Report Builder opens, contact your administrator. The administrator can update the version on the web portal or SharePoint site.
