.Net framework for SSRS 2005

Hi,

We are plannning to upgrade to SSRS 2005 from SSRS 2000.

Does it mean that our clients/users will have to upgrade to framework 2.0 from framework 1.1 inorder to see the SSRS Reports ?

Thanks in advance !

No, as long as you use the webbased report functionality only you just need a (IE) browser to use reporting services without any problems.

Other browsers can be used and will support HTML viewing functionality but may not support all RS functionality.

Adding to the previous answers:

Only the report server installation requires .NET 2.0.

If your users also want to use the new ReportBuilder in SSRS 2005, they will need to have .NET 2.0 installed on their local machines. If it is not installed, trying to use ReportBuilder for the first time will provide a notification about the missing .NET Framework 2.0 and ask if the runtime should be downloaded and installed.
