{note}The OfficeWriter SQL Server Reporting Services integration has two parts: the server-side OfficeWriter renderer (export) and the client-side OfficeWriter Designer. The server-side OfficeWriter is installed with one of the OfficeWriter installers (32 or 64 bit). The client-side OfficeWriter Designer is installed with the separate *OfficeWriterDesinger-Installer.msi*. {note}
h1. Server-Side OfficeWriter
h2. Automatic
The OfficeWriter 8 installer is available in 64-bit (*OfficeWriter-Installer-8.#.#-x64.msi*) and 32-bit (*OfficeWriter-Installer-8.#.#-x86.msi*). There is only one installer which handles installing any OfficeWriter components (including ExcelWriter, WordWriter, and SSRS integration).

Double click the msi to begin installing OfficeWriter for .NET:

You will need to select the components to install. To include or exclude any components from your installation, click on the drop-down next to the component.
{note} In order to install OfficeWriter for SQL Server Reporting Services, you *must* run the installer on a machine that has SSRS installed. If the installer cannot find any SSRS installation, it will not provide you with the option to install OfficeWriter for SQL Server Reporting Services. {note}
