I've created a data model for an end-user to generate their own reports as they please. The model is working fine and report builder is working perfectly for me. The problem is when the customer opens the report builder application they are presented with a file download dialog asking them to save the 'reportbuilder.application' file.

The link I've given is:
http://servername/ReportServer/ReportBuilder/ReportBuilder.application.

This link works fine with me so I'm not sure why they are presented with a file download box. Has anyone had this problem before? I'm thinking it's maybe a browser settings issue, yet both the customer and I are using Internet Explorer 6 on a medium-low security setting.

I've looked everywhere and cannot find this issue anywhere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jamie

Problem solved.

Client machine had .NET Framework 1.1 installed. Report Builder requires .NET 2.0 to work with the ClickOnce technology.
