Report builder 3.0 downloaded in 2020 need to target ssrs 2014

Question

I have looked everywhere I can think of for an answer. I downloaded report builder in Aug 2020 (now). I need to write reports for SQL reporting services 2014. It wasn't till i attempted to deploy the first report that I remembered having trouble with incompatibility of schema versions.
I tried looking up and downloading something called at Microsoft, Report Builder 3 for SQL 2014 but got the same named msi as the recent one. Trying to install it in a different location resulted in failed install, a dll failed.
Is there any way to get report builder to target the older 2014 SSRS?. If not what is the preferred way to write reports for 2014 SSRS?

Answer 1

One way to do this is to download Visual Studio community Edition. You can change the target server under by right licking report project and then select Targetserverversion.

See link below from Microsoft for details :
