FineBuild can install and configure the Microsoft Report Viewer component as part of the SQL Server install process

If you do not want to include Report Viewer in your FineBuild install, then do not download it

Report Viewer is written by Microsoft. It is a .Net component that allows reports to be viewed from within a .Net application. It was chosen to be included in FineBuild because it is required by the RML Utilities and SQL Nexus

If you install Report Viewer, you should also Install KB2549864
