BIRT Report Unable to run

Question

I'm completely new to BIRT, but I'm trying to integrate it into some testing software. I downloaded the all-in-one package from eclipse for BIRT reporting (Windows 7, 64 bit). I've just started on my first report and I can't get the preview tab to display anything nor the web viewer. The only content on my report is a simple label. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Here's my source xml for the report:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Found the issue, seems like BIRT uses Internet Explorer to render the report and is apparently incompatible with Internet Explorer 11. Downgrading IE solved my problem
