    The feature:"using other editions of sql server for report data sources and/or the report server database" is not

    supported in this edition of Reporting services

    and when i try to open the report in browser

    http://localhost/reports

    it shows me

    • Integration Services

    • Analysis Services

    • Full text search

  • As I wrote before it's in BOL. Just look for SQL express features.

  • Actually there is a version of Express with Reporting services but it require a separate component called the ToolKit. The Fulltext feature was also added reluctantly after developers added it by code but it does not work in user instance and in server instance you have to go into configuration manager to enable it.  The Express Advanced require uninstall of standard Express but it comes with all features on the relational end except the agent and the toolkit gives you reporting services.  Try the link below for details.  Hope this helps.
