SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, you may experience one or more of the following issues:
 * You cannot create a Report Server Project.
 * When you create a Report Server Project, the project may not run in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services.



CAUSE
This issue occurs when the following conditions are true:
 * Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is not installed on the computer. The SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio is packaged and installed when you install SQL Server 2005. The Business Intelligence Development Studio is installed into Visual Studio 2005.
 * Report Designer in Visual Studio 2005 only supports the new 2005/01 Report Definition Language (RDL) schema. SQL Server 2000 Report Services is only compatible with the 2003/10 RDL schema. Therefore, a Report Server Project that you create by using Visual Studio 2005 is incompatible with the 2003/10 RDL schema.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, you can install SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services supports both the existing 2003/10 RDL version schema and the 2005/01 RDL version schema.
