Installing Report Expert

This chapter describes how to install the Report Expert software.

If you are installing Report Expert, you must have the Windows
System Administrator privileges, and your user account must be a
member of the local administrator user group.

IMPORTANT

If you encounter problems during the Report Expert installation and
need to call support, make sure that you have access to the log files

created during installation. These files are named Rockwell - Report
Expert 3.20 Install.log
and Rockwell - Report Expert Deployment 3.0.log.

Depending on your installation options, only one of these files may
appear.
The log files are usually located in the \Documents and

Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp folder, where username is
the name of the installing user. However, this location can vary

depending on the value of the %TEMP% environment variable. This file
contains information that can help identify the cause of your installation

problem.

You must have the administrator privileges to perform any of the
following actions.

NOTE

If you are going to perform an upgrade to Report Expert 3.20, you may
want to first rename standard reports if you changed any of the reports
to meet your specific needs. If you do not rename the standard Report

Expert report templates, those reports in your currently installed version
of Report Expert will be removed and replaced by new versions of the

Report Expert report templates.

To install or upgrade Report Expert on the server:

1. Close the SSRS web site, if it is open.
