Client Report Builder Framework not being picked up

Just a question regarding what is required to use report builder from a client pc.

If i sit at client pc, and then click on the report builder, it promts me that framework 2 is required to run report builder. I then proceed to click on the given link to install framework 2 beta 2 , but yet once the install is complete, even after a reboot, if i click on the report builder button again from within RS , it still prompts me to install the framework?

If i view the source, i see that its just a modal window with the message on the click of the button,i have even cleared cache and temp files but no luck, so it obviously does this check as the http://webserver/reports site loads.

Am i missing something here, any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance
Shaun

Ok, i have managed to figure it out,

I am using the lastest CTP for SQL2005 on the server,
When the client gets sent to the microsoft site, it seems to install with a different framework version.

I read a bit about this on the following link, if any one else has any hassles.

So basically, to fix it, i have made a copy of the correct framework redistributable and installed that onto the client machines , then everything seems to work.

Shaun
