Is it a requirement to have Microsoft Report Viewer 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package run on the web server in order to have users view asp.net pages (built with VS2010 SP1) that reference Microsoft ReportViewer controls?
I was hoping that if I referenced the dlls in the web project listed in this MS article, that I would avoid having to run the redistributable package on the server.
No, it is not necessary to have the redistributable installed on the web server. Just set the copy local property for the report viewer dll references to true.
See the following article. It discusses deploying to an Azure environment, but the same idea holds for deploying to a web server without the redistributable package.
