Question

I just started using the BIDS plugin for Visual Studio, in conjunction with SSRS in integrated mode. I created a Report Project, and when I was done creating a sample report I tried the deploy option under the Build menu.

Here are my relevant Build settings:

TargetReportFolder: http://intranet/Reports/Production Reports/

TargetServerURl: http://intranet/

I’ve tried variations on the above but continue to get various errors no matter what I try.

The above settings seem most likely to be correct to me, and generate the error:
Client found response content type of ”, but expected ‘text/xml’.

I AM able to simply save the .rdl report file to the report folder mentioned above, and it works just fine. So my PC does have permission to the location.
On a related note, what does ‘deploy’ do anyway vs just saving the file to its destination?

I have combed through dozens of posts by people with the same kind of problems but none of them seem to work for me.

Thanks

The solution was simple — I downgraded the installation on my workstation from R2 to the original SQL Server 2008, which I had to dig around MS’s site to find. Now it works perfectly. (I failed to take note of the fact that our server is still on R1.)
