Sharepoint - SSRS Report Builder - To use Report Builder, you must install .Net Framework 3.5 on this computer.

When you try to launch the report builder from sharepoint to edit your SSRS report, you get the following error

"To use Report Builder, you must install .Net Framework 3.5 on this computer."
"Install .Net 3.5"

Clicking on the link does not work
When you check the machine, it says .net 3.5 is correctly installed


The problem is internet explorer 9.

Enable Menu Bar if you do not see "File, Edit, View..."

  • Click on the gray area on the top of the browser window
  • Tick Menu Bar

Go to

  • Tools>Compatibility View Settings>
  • Enter the sharepoint site name (the computer name is enough) >Click Add
Report builder will launch correctly now.
