Installing the SSRS Data Connector for CRM4

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to install the SSRS data connector for my CRM4 implementation. I'm using the method described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947060 (Method 2) but keep getting the same error message:

Unable to validate SQL Server Reporting Services Report Server installation. Please check that it is correctly installed on the local machine.

I've added the following to my XML file. http://SSRS-Server/Reportserver$MYORG_MSCRM MYORG_MSCRM

Anyone knows what is still wrong? I tried several instance names but they all don't work either. I can access my SSRS server by going to http: //SSRS-Server/Reports and it will give a list of all services running there.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Xt_20,

You may need to post more details regarding this issue: 1) The 2nd method described in this link : here is used when the Reporting Server database is installed using the SQL Server named instance. Are you installing the Reporting Server database in the default instance or named instance ?

2) If you are using default instance, you might not need to use custom XML, you can just run the installer without requiring the input XML file.

3) What is the architecture of your CRM implementation ? is the CRM Application, SQL server and Reporting Server resided in the same server ? or different server ?

Hope this helps.
