I had a real hard time installing SQL-Server 2005 Reporting-Services on this one machine …
The MSI was executing just fine, but the step “removing backups” (don’t know the exact wording in english, since I’m using a german installation) seems to fail.
This is what the msi logfile has to offer:
Aktion 15:59:51: RSSP_CAInstall.28B19132_4741_4761_840F_AC515130EC08.
Aktion 15:59:52: RollbackCleanup. Sicherungsdateien werden entfernt
CA MSG : Running RSCustomAction
CA MSG : Launching C:\DOKUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOKALE~1\Temp\rsCustomAction.exe with command line parameter /i
CA MSG : rsCustomAction.exe failed to configure, Error code is: 1
Aktion 16:02:48: Rollback. Aktion wird rΓΌckgΓ€ngig gemacht:
After much struggle I finally figrued something. First I installed SharePointRS.msi
without the custom actions, by executing:
SharePointRS.msi SKIPCA=1
OK. So next I just run the rsCustomAction.exe (which is located in my temp-folder):
rsCustomAction.exe /i
This finally produced some logfiles and a more details error message. In my case the problem was, that the web.config
of my portal-site was write-protected!!
After removing the write-protection I was able to install SharePointRS.msi
just fine.
