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.
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:

# Click Next to proceed to the End-User License Agreement.Note If you have a previous version of OfficeWriter installed, you may be prompted to upgrade or remove the existing version of OfficeWriter.
