NAV2009R2 and SQL2012: report layout editing?

Member Posts: 489
Good morning,
I am trying to familiarize myself with NAV2009R2 since our license works with it (and not 2013). I attempted to view the layout of a report and got an error about visual studio not being installed. We plan to upgrade to 2013 next year and I'm doing homework on pages/reports/etc. (we still run 3.7b codebase).
Our admin had created this virtual server for me, Win server 2008 R2 with SQL2012 and installed the included VS with SQL2012. I have gathered that 2009R2 only supports older versions of VS, so i then installed Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Express edition with SP1 from a blog i found linked here on Mibuso. After this install, I can click on Layouts and the application launches, but all I see is report.rdlc (an xml file?) and report.xsd. There is nothing remotely WYSIWYG about it. Is this normal? What might I be doing wrong?
Do I need to install NAV2009R2 in SQL2008 db?
EDIT: I do not see any way to access "design view" within VS.
EDIT 2: I went ahead and downloaded and installed the add-on mentioned in Claus' blog, even though I'm working with 2009R2 and SP1 of the VWS 2008 express (I misunderstood the add-on only required for earlier versions). Now I have a WYSIWYG report layout visible, instead of raw XML. thanks.

What appears to be missing is the “Microsoft Report Viewer Add-on for Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition”
