Reporting Services Add in for SharePoint - Installation Interrupted

I was trying to install the 'Reporting Services Add-In for SharePoint'. And for some strange reason, it's rolling back the installation at the last step and showing me the message saying 'The Reporting Services Add-in set up was interrupted. Your system was not modified, please run the setup again'. I tried googling for any solutions, but everyone is saying I should look in the 'Documents and Settings -> temp' folder for the installation log file which would tell me the cause of the error, but as luck would have it, I'm not able to find that file as well (there are no files in temp, and the log is not getting created there).. I tried the 'msiexec *i' option but was not able to find anything useful there.

Solution:


What you need to solve this is to first run the installer from the command line without enabling the Custom Actions and then go ahead and run the custom actions tool separately. 
Follow the steps given below.
 1. Open the command window (Start>Run type cmd and press enter)
2. Navigate to the path where the installer (SharePointRS.msi) is stored
3. Execute SharePointRS.msi SKIPCA=1  This will do a files-only installation of Reporting Services Plug-In
4. CD to %temp%
5. Execute rsCustomAction.exe /i  to auto-configure the installed files.

PS: If even this fails, check if your web config file is write protected, remove the write protection if it is enabled.
