Report Builder will not launch

After spending much time researching, we were able to come to a successful resolution as outlined below.
1) Remove every .NET Framework from the machine.

We had previously not removed all versions

2) Download & Install the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Redistributable Package (Which can be obtained directly from Microsoft at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=10CC340B-F857-4A14-83F5-25634C3BF043&displaylang=en)

SSRS Desktop Report Builder Applicartion fails to Launch

Yeah look under users home AppData/Local/Microsoft and try deleting or renaming "Report Builder" folder. Sometimes the app messes some preferences and then crashes. That worked for me (might be also localLow or roaming folders) – sproketboy Feb 25 at 22:11

The solution provided by sproketboy in their comment on Feb 25 at 22:11 worked for me. Given that it actually solved this situation for me, I'm re-posting it here as an answer.
