We run SQL 2005 on the Win2K3 server and use SSRS. Here's the situation:
- I can run Report Builder from localhost
- My colleague can run Report Builder on her Vista computer.
- Another employee can run Report Builder on their computer with XP SP3 (IE7)
- I cannot run Report Builder on my computer with XP SP3 (IE7)
I was told that it could be anything: from an erroneous registry entry to a Group Policy problem. Here is what I tried:
- Put the site in "trusted sites" with "low" security.
- reinstall .NET
- create a new local user account and try to start it
Results? Each time I get a dialog box: "The application cannot be started. Contact the application provider"
I click the details button and get the following:

I am really at a loss. I am sure that there is something on my PC that prevents the application from starting, but I just don’t know what. Google didn’t help much, because most of the problems are related to the server configuration (which I know correctly, since it works on other PCs)
Help me, Kenobi Overflow, you are my only hope.
