reporting services sql server install error
October 13, 2009 03:00 PM
When you go to (re) install sql server, you may get this error if you re-use the same instance name since the Reporting Services user data files are not deleted during uninstall and may contain valued user data.
Here's the message: Rule Reporting Services Catalog Temporary Database File Existence failed.
"The Reporting Services catalog temporary database file exists. Select a Reporting Services files-only mode installation."
Solution: find the folder with the old installation of sql server (with the same instance name), and delete/change the name of that folder ar your will.
e.g. see folder under C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server
