Installing SQL Server Reporting Services

Current machine Windows XP Pro with sp2. Successfully installed all portions
of Reporting Services with exception to Report Designer to SQL Server 2000.
The message which appears at almost the conclusion of installation states
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as
part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel
or package vendor.". Then it rolls back the installation.
Looking through the Event Logs it shows there was an error registered due to
the msvcr71.dll. The error value is:
Error value: C0000013
Disk type: 5
This file is on the CD for the Reporting Services and it should not be
damaged, in use, etc. by any other process other than that of the installer.
After installing all but the designer, I even installed service pack 1 for
Reporting Services and still have the same result.
Ideas?
Your thoughts on this matter will be appreciated.Just wanted to post the resolution to the situation below.
From the event log it showed that it had a problem with the msvcr71.dll.
Comparing the datetime of the file on the CD to that of the system, they were
different.
So I copied the contents of the CD to the hard drive to point to the older
file to see if it would help. The result, it did not help so I put the
original file from the CD back into the Reportin Services install directory
of my hard drive.
In reading other posts regarding installs, there was a file mentioned in the
01SEP2004 post by Daniel Reib [MSFT] to an 'install problem' (original
subject for posting), which was RSRun.msi.
I installed this file with Visual Studio .NET open and within a project. It
seemed to be having a problem without VS.NET being open, at least on 2
machines. In the past attempts the event log showed that it was having a
problem starting up the VS.NET and that is why I opened the application and
project while installing. The install was successful and the Report Designer
is working.
Hope this helps some other people that experienced a similar issue.
