sql server reporting services:
I am trying to install the Reporting Services CRM Feature Pack on a SBS 2003.
I have installed Reporting Services and SP1 for it. Everything installed
just fine when I installed Reporting Services. I went to install the Feature
Pack for CRM (also installed on the same server) and at the very end of the
installation, I get the following error:

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

That is it and then it backs itself out of the installation. Any ideas? I
have not been successful researching the error as it is highly generic.

Yes, Reporting Services SP1 is installed. This is actually a prereq. for it.
I do not think it will even let you begin to install if it detects that SP1
for RS is not there. I am seeing this same issue pop up quite a bit with
others having the same problem. No resolution on any of them though.

I posted a reply on www.MSCRMExperts.com.

Do you have SQL Reporting Services Service Pack 1 installed?

This is on SBS 2003 (which is Windows Server 2003). By default, it comes
with .NET Framework v1.1.

I am also getting this error:

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

I've verified that the ReportServer is running, however, I can't get the CRM

Here is what we have found out. The environment we have is in Development
but mimics the production environment. So putting VS.NET on it (being SBS
2003 and mimicing the production environment) is not an option for this
circumstance (and is an optional install in the first place). Even though we
have unsuccessfully been able to install the CRM Report Pack, if you can
install it to another server NOT running the CRM, this seems to work. Then,
just publish your rdl from Reporting Services to the actual CRM Server
running Reporting Services. This assumes that you are running CRM and
Reporting Services on the same box.
