title: Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services 2017 registry
body: <p>Did registry paths change for the Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services 2017? </p>
  
  <p>Before we were able to locate instance name here: </p>
  
  <pre><code>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names\RS\MSSQLSERVER
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But now in 2017 <strong>MSSQLSERVER</strong> is missing and it has <strong>SSRS</strong> instead. </p>
  
  <p>Based on <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/install/file-locations-for-default-and-named-instances-of-sql-server" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> article it should be still under <strong>MSSQLSERVER</strong> but it's not. Did we missed some installation setting that caused this or this is default standard behavior now? </p>
