sql server reporting services
group:RS2000 Install error
sql server reporting services:
When trying to install RS2000 I'm getting a very generic "Error!" message
just as it begins trying to install the "Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Setup Support Files". It makes it through the setup of WinInstall and .NET Framework1.1 just fine but as soon as it get to trying to install the RS Setup Support Files it just stops with the generic "Error!" message and the only option is to cancel. I've setup RS2000 on many WinXP, Win2000 Server, and Win2003 Servers with NO problem, but I've been beating my head aginst this one for over a week. The server is Win2K SP4, local install of SQL Server 2K SP3a. .NET v1.1 is installed and ASP.NET has been installed in IIS and DTC is running. Being completely confused I installed VS.NET2003 on the server (as they use a lot of the same stuff). VS.NET 2003 installed no problem, but after RS2000 still just gives me the generic "Error!" message. There are no errors being recorded in the event viewer, SQL logs, or the log that should be created during RS install (in the RS Bootstrapper dir) since it isn't even created since it fails before we actually get to the RS install (just gets to the pre-install stuff).
One additional detail which may (or may not) be helpful.

Nope I just used the version that is automatically installed as part of RS
pre-install. I'll get the latest version and try that. I'll let you know if this works. Thanks! [quoted text, click to view] "Brian Welcker" wrote:

OK, I've just installed version 3.1 of the installer. Did a reboot after,
but same problem occurs (the generic "Error!" message when beginning install of "Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Setup Support Files"). [quoted text, click to view] "Cayman Visitor" wrote:

A little more info.
The server I'm trying to install on is a production server dedicated to SQL Server. The only other thing installed is Mcafee enterprise virus protection (I disable and stop all Macafee related services before each install attempt). I've copied the SQL Reporting Services Standard install locally from 2 different DVDs (wondering of the the first was corrupt). Then I tried SQL Reporting Services Developer version because, hey at this point all try anything ;-). If I don't hear anymore suggestions, I guess the next thing is to try rebuilding the server though as its a production machine I'm not too crazy about this idea.

Hi guys,
I have experienced this issue twice now, and not found the answer. Both times on a Win2K server (don't know whether that has anything to do with it). The Australian MS Support guys tried to help me the first time I experienced it at a customer site. Because we ran out of time we ended up rebuilding the machine and RS installed no problem thereafter. At the time I put the issue down to a one off issue. During the time we were trying to find the problem I posted here under "Cannot install Setup Support Files" but didn't hear anything back. I was on another client site a couple of weeks ago and experienced the same issue again. This time I didn't have the luxury of being able to rebuild the machine. We had to abort the install on that machine. The common thread between the two cases has been: 1. Both were installs of RS Standard - using different disks from different sources 2. Both were on Win2K Server SP4 3. When looking at the Setup Bootstrap log files both systems fell over when trying to perform the "PerformDetections" function. From what I can gather this is a function that produces the output we're supposed to see on the next screen (that we can't get to on account of the error) of the setup wizard, where you are told/warned either "IIS is not installed", "VS.NET 2003 is not installed" etc.etc. It seems there is a part/s of the cache that cannot be read... Both of the clients I was working for were not requiring production installs of RS so there were (thankfully) no real repercussions for the failed installs. My company is doing a lot of RS work so I really want to find out what this issue is, though, so that when (if) I come accross it again I can get past the error. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to assist in finding an answer to this issue. Cheers, Nick Barclay [quoted text, click to view] "Cayman Visitor" wrote:

I've run into this problem too on a Windows 2003 Server SP1 installing SQL RS
Enteprise edition. Tried practically everything but just does not seem to work. Guess will have to rebuild the server. [quoted text, click to view] "Cayman Visitor" wrote:
