h1. Automatic Installation
h2. Intro
The OfficeWriter 8 installer is available in 64-bit (*OfficeWriter-Installer-8.#.#-x64.msi*) and 32-bit (*OfficeWriter-Installer-8.#.#-x86.msi*). The bitness refers to the bitness of the operating system, not the version of SQL Server Reporting Services.
There is a single OfficeWriter installer that that handles installing any configuration of OfficeWriter, regardless of which edition (SE or EE) or components (ExcelWriter, WordWriter, SSRS integration) you have purchased.
h2. Running the Installer
# Check that your system meets the [System Requirements]. You *MUST* have SQL Server Reporting Services installed on the machine that you are trying to install OfficeWriter for SSRS. If SSRS is not detected, it will not be available as a custom setup option.
\\# The OfficeWriter for SSRS integration requires modifying several SSRS config files and adding DLLs to the bin directory. To ensure a stable installation, *STOP* the SQL Server Reporting process before installing OfficeWriter.
\\# Double click the msi to begin installing OfficeWriter for .NET:

h2. Installing OfficeWriter for SSRS
{note:title=About SSRS 2012 with SharePoint integration}
There were some significant infrastructure changes made for SSRS 2012 in SharePoint integration mode that require a different manual installation process than from native mode. Please see [Manual Install for SSRS 2012 with SharePoint] for more details.
{note}
# Run the OfficeWriter installer on another machine with SQL Server Reporting Services to unpack the necessary installation files (see above).
\\# Make sure that your system meets the [System Requirements].
\\# Installing OfficeWriter for SSRS requires modifying several SSRS config files and dropping DLLs in the bin directory. *STOP* SQL Server Reporting Services process before installing OfficeWriter.
\\# Copy the following files to *<MSSQL Directory>\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin*
#* *SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.RS2005.dll* (for Reporting Services 2005) or *SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.RS2008.dll* (for Reporting Services 2008 or Reporting Services 2012)
#* *SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.WordWriter.dll*
#* *SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.ExcelWriter.dll* .
\\# Run *LicenseManager.exe* to install the OfficeWriterEE or OfficeWriterSE key.
\\# Modify the *RSReportServer.config* file in *<MSSQL Directory>\Reporting Services\ReportServer*. Copy the following report rendering extension declaration to the file's *<Render>* node:
For Reporting Services 2005:
\{newcode:language=xml}
<Configuration>
<Extensions>
<Render>
<Extension Name="XLTemplate" Type="SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.ReportingServices.ExcelTemplateRenderer,
SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.RS2005"/>
<Extension Name="WordTemplate" Type="SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.ReportingServices.WordTemplateRenderer,
SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.RS2005"/>
</Render>
</Extensions>
</Configuration>
{newcode}
For Reporting Services 2008 or 2012:
\{code:xml}
<Configuration>
<Extensions>
<Render>
<Extension Name="XLTemplate" Type="SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.ReportingServices.ExcelTemplateRenderer,
SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.RS2008"/>
<Extension Name="WordTemplate" Type="SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.ReportingServices.WordTemplateRenderer,
SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.RS2008"/>
</Render>
</Extensions>
</Configuration>
{code}
\{note}You will likely already have Extension elements in your Render node. You should only need to copy the Extension element lines below your existing Extension elements in the Render node.{note}
\# Modify the *rssrvpolicy.config* file in *<MSSQL Directory>\Reporting Services\ReportServer*. Add the following security trust codegroup to the file's *<CodeGroup>* node:
