Unable to launch Report Builder 3.0

Question

I am running Reporting Services 2012 in Sharepoint integrated mode. I'm using Sharepoint 2010. My server is located in the US. Both my overseas and US users are unable to launch Report Builder but the errors are different.

Overseas user:

Following errors were detected during this operation.

Answer 1

Figured it out. .Net 4.0 framework needed to be installed on each user's machine. I had assumed that the "checking application requirements" step would have displayed any prerequisites but it didn't.
