Installing SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services Addin (rsSharePoint) x86 or x64

Article

Did you already install Reporting Services in every possible combination? I guess “no”, but you would agree that you had problems at least during one installation. A common problem is the integration of SSRS into SharePoint regardless if you install SSRS 2008, R2 or 2005, regardless if you use SharePoint 2007 or 2010.

The first step is always to configure the Report Server including Service Account and Database for the “Integrated Mode” – usually no problem.

But now if you try to run the “rsSharePoint.msi” (especially in x64 Environments), you are sitting in front of your Server session, waiting for the completion of the last step “Removing backup files”. If you are getting an error message, the nightmare begins:

What went wrong? Where can you see the cause of the error?

First resolution attempt:

If it doesn’t fit, here’s a possible solution:

1. Check the Log-file provided by the rsCustomAction.exe

a. Open the Command prompt

b. Change directory by typing “cd %temp%” (if you’re not on drive C – just change the drive after typing the last command)

c. Now go one directory backwards by typing “cd ..”

d. Find the appropriate log file e.g. “RS_SP_0.log” and open it

e. If it looks like the following, proceed to step 2

2. The typical cause for the exception above is:

a. A previous installation effort caused a new SharePoint Timer job definition which hasn’t been deleted correctly (therefore you get the highlighted exception message):
"Windows SharePoint Services Web.Config Update" with a schedule type of "one-time"

b. When you try to run manually “rsCustomAction –i”, you will get the error again :-(.

c. So, before running the rsCustomAction again, just delete the timer job “Windows SharePoint Services Web.Config Update” (you’ll find it under Central Administation – Operations – Timer job definitions)
