Power BI Report Server - Install Problems - 0x80070643 fatal error during installation

[humbedellat]

Greetings,

I am currently having troubles with an installation of Power BI Report Server. The server was installed properly and worked just fine but the machine had issues with the drive that was being used, the installation got wiped in short. 

The new drive was given a different name and currently attempting to install/repair/uninstall results in the following message. I have tried with subst to attempt to get somehwere without any results.

If anyone has had a similar issue or could provide guidance it would be very much appreciated. I have included the logs from the last attempt in a pastebin. I would understand that theres some underlying artifact that perhaps remains from the previous install but wouldn't quite be sure if that's the case or the steps to proceed with.

Hi @humbedellat ,

You can open Task Manager, go to "details", find if you have following, right click and "End Task":

- ReportingServicesService.exe

- RSHostingService.exe

- RSManagement.exe

- RSPortal.exe

- RSPowerBI.exe

Make sure none of them are running, then please try：

•  Run this command from an admin command prompt:
             sc delete ReportServerStandalone
• Delete the any files found under:
            C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services\
• Rerun the new setup. and you should no longer get the blocking error
• Configure the new server via the RSConfig Tool (RSConfig.exe)

Hope it helps,
