The report definition for report 'path' has not been specified

The full errormessage is:
The report definition for report 'path' has not been specified. Could not find file 'path'.



If you use an installer to install your webapplication, this error might occur when you try to run a local report (rdlc).

The solution is to set the property "Build Action" of the rdlc to "Content". Now your installer will copy the physical rdlc.



Thanks to my colleague Kris S.

    Thank you.

    Also ensure that the rdlc file is in a separate folder and set
    LocalReport ReportPath ="Report\abc.rdlc"

    That solve it for me.
