I need to setup a report server using SQL Server Reporting Services with MySQL datasource. I am using a ODBC connection to connect MySQL. Using this connection I am able to add a dataset in my reporting project in Visual Studio 2015.

Using this dataset I can create a reports in Visual Studio and it show me preview as well using my table from MySQL, So far so good only problem arise when I try to deploy my reports to my local machine it show following error :

An attempt has been made to use a data extension 'ODBC' that is either not registered for this report server or is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.

I am using SQL Server 2012 Express Edition and I follow this tutorial to connect report with MySql.

Thank you

If you have the full version, it can be easily done, via the instructions you linked above.
