The documentation states that Microsoft.RdlcDesigner.vsix is a Visual Studio extension. So you need Visual Studio installed in order to use it.

Solution 1

Use the NuGet package to reference the report viewer control in your application. All of the required files will then be copied to your bin folder, and can simply be copied to the target machine.

NuGet Gallery | Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.WebForms 150.900.148[^]

Thank you for prompt reply

My scenario is I have developed web application using vs 2017 and Report viewer 15.
I have installed the Report viewer through NuGet Package Manager Console
and only got dll files.

I have copied following file in BIN

1. Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll
2. Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll
3. Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.dll

and changed in web config file

<add assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845DCD8080CC91"/>
<add assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.DataVisualization, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845DCD8080CC91"/>
<add assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.Design, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845DCD8080CC91"/>
<add assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845DCD8080CC91"/>
<add assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebDesign, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845DCD8080CC91"/>
<add assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845DCD8080CC91"/>

You can't install the designer .vsix without Visual Studio installed. And you don't need to. You only need to deploy the assemblies from the bin folder to display the reports.

Thank you all of you. Solved as per your link. copy all dll into bin and changed in web config.
Problem is that I have developed in old version vs 2012. I have changed in aspx page

<%@ Register Assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91" Namespace="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms" TagPrefix="rsweb" %> to

<%@ Register Assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms" Namespace="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms" TagPrefix="rsweb" %>

is working fine.
Thank you
