This can be caused by one of the following:

* The name of an existing report server contains extended ASCII characters.
* The problem occurs if you rename the "Reports" and " ReportServer" virtual directories.

Refer to the following Microsoft KB article for more information: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946788

Causes and Fixes

Using the SQL Server Management Studio interface open the CFG_ItemValue table of the ION_Network database.
Locate the following entries under teh Value column and replace the instances of [ServerName] with the actual computer name and [ReporterServer] with the actual ReportServer virtual root name.

For example:

BeforeAfter
http://[ServerName]/IONReportDataService/ReportDataService.asmxhttp://IONSERVER/IONReportDataService/ReportDataService.asmx
http://[ServerName]/[ReportServer]http://IONSERVER/ReportServer$ION
http://[ServerName]/[ReportServer]/reportservice2005.asmxhttp://IONSERVER/ReportServer$ION/reportservice2005.asmx
http://[ServerName]/[ReportServer]/ReportExecution2005.asmxhttp://IONSERVER/ReportServer$ION/ReportExecution2005.asmx

Close the table and now try to install the report packs. The report packs should now install successfully.
