"Miscellaneous Error" when trying to deploy reports.

  We are running MSSQL 2005 on WIndows 2003 x64.  Our Enterprise Vault is running on a separate server from the SQL Server and I'm trying to configure reporting on the SQL server.  When I run the "Enterprise Vault Reporting Configuration" utility, I get a message that says "Deployment error.  Miscellaneous error." when I click on the SQL Reporting Services instance.  The contents of "EVDeployReports.log:

    I've seen this happen when the /Reports and /ReportsServer virutal directories are set to use .NET 1.1 instead of 2 in IIS:
     
    In IIS Expand Web Sites -> Default Web Site -> Right click on each site in turn and select properties -> ASP.NET tab -> ensure ASP.NET version is 2.0

    This is occuring on our Database server which is running Windows 2003 R2 64-bit.  Is that the problem?  Can the reporting run on a 64 bit platform?

    I am also getting the "Miscellaneous error" after attempting to deploy EV reporting services.
     
    The client where we I attempting this install first is asking that we install the EV reporting services on a Test SQL reporting server, but know during the deploy i point it at the production SQL where EnterpriseVaultDirectory databases are located.
     
    Here is extract from the log of my failed deployment:

    Entered Configuration::Configuration()
    Invalid command line arguments are passed

    Stormonts, the error is actually coming from MS SQL Reporting Services and not from EV.
    When you install the reporting services, you have two virtual directories
    /Reports
    /ReportServer
     
    Reports being the nice GUI front end that you see when you access reports and what not, and ReportServer being a programatical gateway to view deployed reports, and has other abilities that we query.
     
    All we are doing is a simple call to http://HAWK/ReportServer$EntVault
    But the problem is it's giving back
    The request failed with the error message:
    --
    %1 is not a valid Win32 application
     
    You would see the same result if you paste that in to Internet Explorer.
     
    So what is the error and why are you seeing it?
    Well, my first guess would that the 32bit version of MSRS has been installed OR that NET Framework for 32 bit is running against IIS.
     
    Also make sure that the Microsoft SQL Reporting Configuration Utility shows that everything is set up correctly (its rudimentary but you can easily tell if something is misconfigured)
     
    Ultimately it's a Microsoft MSRS issue, until we can view that page correctly, we will not be able to deploy reports.
     
    As for the other poster, its seeming to suggest that when you ran the deployment utility from the command line you passed an invalid argument in one of the switches, any chance we can have a look at that?
     
    cheers
