Server Requirements

Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003 Server
MS Reporting Services 2005
Microsoft .NET Framework Redistributable version 2.0.
J# Redistributable Package version 2.0.
To run the OfficeWriter Reporting Services samples, SQL Server 2005 and the AdventureWorks database must be installed.

Microsoft Office is not required on the server. This prevents the performance penalties and instability associated with instantiating multiple copies of the Excel or Word object on a Web server. (See why Microsoft does not recommend use of Office on the server.)

Client Requirements

Microsoft Word 2000, 2002 (XP), or 2003
Microsoft Excel 2000, 2002 (XP), or 2003
MS Query

MS Query is part of Microsoft Office, but may not be installed by default. To install MS Query:
1. Have your Office Installation CD ready.
2. Open Microsoft Excel.
3. Open the Data menu.
4. Select Import External Data > New Database Query. You will be prompted to install MS Query.
