First thing first!! Do not forget to check the Prerequisites of the latest version of Report Authoring Extension and get the correct software versions installed in your system. For example, VS 2022 is not supported and hence you will fail to have the Custom Fetch based Reports option in the end.

So far, the lates version of VS that is supported is VS 2019. Make sure to have SSDT as a part of the installation as well.

Step 2 Install Reporting Services Project

In Visual Studio, if you don’t find Reporting Services Project, you may download from Manage Extensions (Online) and install.

Step 3 Install Report Authoring Extension

Download and Install Dynamics 365 version 9.0 Report Authoring Extension via the following link:

Known issues

  1. Setup cannot continue because there is a pending restart required. Restart the computer and then try running Setup again.

Always check the path of Log file mentioned for any errors. For me, these were the errors:

“RunOnce contains Adobe Speed Launcher”

“RunOnce contains Delete Cached Update Binary“

To resolve this issue, you need to delete the HKey twice, once with admin account and then with your logged in account. If you are the admin, then once is enough.

To fix this follow below steps. You can find same here in KB article

support.microsoft.com/…/2004114

Click Start, click Run and type regedit, and then click OK.

Locate the Registry Key listed in the Setup Log.  For example, the Registry Key isHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce.

Right click RunOnce, and then click Delete.

2. Some of the required components are missing. For more information, click Details.

On checking the details, it provides you with a link of Prerequisites. So check if you have all the appropriate things up and ready.
