Will a patch executable version of this be released at some point to avoid having to unistall and reinstall? Does this patch affect the structure of the reporting services database (tables and stored procedures)?Anonymous

Some confusion. I am interested in upgrading an SSRS Service instance from SQL 2012 to SQL 2012 SP1. One link (msdn.microsoft.com/.../72171357-28de-4edd-bdfd-194f97225a6f(v=sql.15) says you cannot upgrade in place. Another (msdn.microsoft.com/.../ms143747) says you can. What is the correct method for upgrading the SSRS service?Anonymous
