We're trying, without much success, to get an application to install that uses the ReportViewer control in Visual Studio 2015, without requiring administrative privileges. We thought that we'd try pushing out the ReportViewer redistribution via a GPO. I tested the idea on an older Surface I have for testing such things, but it failed. I even tried running the installation of the ReportViewer redistribution package (the .MSI), but got the following error message:
"Microsoft Report Viewer 2015 Runtime
Setup is missing an installation prerequisite:
-Microsoft System CLR Types for SQL Server 2014.
To continue, install Microsoft System CLR Types for SQL Server 2014 and then run the Setup operation again. This package can be downloaded from Microsoft's website."
OK, so it looks like we've got to install yet another package of some sort. Does this also require admin privileges? Can we push that out with a GPO as well? What's it called?

The MSI to deploy is called ENU\x64\SQLSysClrTypes.msi, and part of the SQL 2014 Feature pack - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42295
You'll need admin rights to install yes.

Thank you, Henrico. Got a follow-up question for you. I've downloaded it and installed it. Installation went fine. Then installing the ReportViewer 2015 went fine. But when I logged into an older Surface to test the installation of our app, it failed. It claimed that the ReportViewer 2015 needed to be installed?!
Does that mean that the ReportViewer 2015 must be installed uniquely for each user on a machine?

Yes, the runtime redistributable, or the alternative, just sending them a generated PDF 😉
