sql server reporting services: 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.

Roland,

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
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/default.aspx and search
for any similar reports.

Hi

That was the April CTP.

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

I installed it from the MSDN Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 DVD
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 ?

Roland,

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.

Installing the Sept CTP Release of SQL 2005 did solve my problem of using the
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
