I appears that the Report Designers for 2024R2 is not backward compatible. This means a VAR that supports multiple version needs to reinstall Report Designed based on the customer version since you can not have multiple versions of Report Designer installed.
Gabriel is right. You don't even need to install the configuration tool. You can extract the .msi with a PowerShell script and run the utilities from the /data/ folder.
I was unable to get it to work with a Copy, but I was able to CUT it and then reinstall report designer. I didn’t have to extract anything, just cut and paste the report designer folder to a new folder.
It would have been way easier if they just called it separate things and added it to the MSI, or had a separate install for just report designer, but I was able to get it to work.
