BIDS Deploy Option -- What does it do, and why won't it work?

I just started using the BIDS plugin for Visual Studio, in conjunction with SSRS开发者_StackOverflow社区 in integrated mode. I created a Report Project, and when I was done creating a sample report I tried the deploy option under the Build menu.

Here are my relevant Build settings:

TargetReportFolder: http://intranet/Reports/Production Reports/

TargetServerURl: http://intranet/

I've tried variations on the above but continue to get various errors no matter what I try.

The above settings seem most likely to be correct to me, and generate the error: Client found response content type of '', but expected 'text/xml'.

I AM able to simply save the .rdl report file to the report folder mentioned above, and it works just fine. So my PC does have permission to the location. On a related note, what does 'deploy' do anyway vs just saving the file to its destination?

I have combed through dozens of posts by people with the same kind of problems but none of them seem to work for me.

Thanks

You should change the settings to:

TargetReportFolder: Production Reports

TargetServerURI: http://intranet/ReportServer

Note: http://intranet/Reports is Report Manager. You cannot deploy reports from BIDS to this location. HTH.

Update: Sorry. I missed the fact that you are running SSRS in Integrated Mode. I would recommend try removing the space in the folder name and use your previous settings.

The solution was simple -- I downgraded the installation on my workstation from R2 to the original SQL Server 2008, which I had to dig around MS's site to find. Now it works perfectly. (I failed to take note of the fact that our server is still on R1.)
