We tried installing reporting services and first got the error:

"The install has encountered an unexpected error installing this package.
This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 25619.

We then installed with the following switch per kb867872:

setup.exe /i"Setup\Rsrun.msi" RSDONOTCREATEVIRTUALDIRECTORIES=TRUE

Now we get the error:

"This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package
exists and that you can access it or contact the application vendor to verify
that this is a valid windows installer package."

We have tried different combinations of fully qualified paths for setup.exe
and rsrun.msi with no success and still we continue to get this message.

Anyone know how to get this blanket-blank reporting services installed?

Hi.
I've just spent the morning with this problem, and have found a solution!

The command line:
setup.exe /i"Setup\Rsrun.msi" RSDONOTCREATEVIRTUALDIRECTORIES=TRUE
needs to be similar to this example:
Y:\Sql Reporting Services\setup.exe /iY:\Sql Reporting
Services\Setup\Rsrun.msi RSDONOTCREATEVIRTUALDIRECTORIES=TRUE
ie, ensure you fully qualify all the paths. AND remove the quotation marks
around the ~\Setup\Rsrun.msi parameter!!

Good luck
