Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Reporting Extensions (using an XML configuration file) do NOT install

Question
-
Hello,
I installed MS CRM 2011 with the CRM-Databases being on a named instance of another server (serv4000\D4000) than the SSRS (Serv1111).
The CRM installation ran through after all.
Both of these URLs on my SQL Server Report Server work:
http://serv1111/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
è underneath the grey bar it does recognize the CRM database which is listed by name (and behind it it says !NEU (meaning new).
è here to it does list
Date <dir> CRMORGANIZATIONNAME_MSCRMDate <dir> SharedReports
This is my config.xml file for installing the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Reporting Extensions (since I have to use this with a named Instance and having set Autogroupmanagmentoff to true):
<crmsetup>
<srsdataconnector>
<configdbserver>SERV4000\D4000</configdbserver>
<patch update="false" />
<AutoGroupManagementOff>true</AutoGroupManagementOff>
</srsdataconnector>
</crmsetup>
However, I cannot install the CRM Reporting Extensions.
Here are the warnings and the error in the log file:
(Please look for Warning or Error in the second column after the time)

Hi
Where are you installing the Reporting Extensions? this needs to be installed on the SSRS. It will automatically select the SSRS instance.
you can only have one instance of the Reporting Extensions, corresponding to one MS CRM installation installed on a Reporting Server.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
well I described the scenario exactly.
The errors stem from the fact that the CRM database itself is on a named instance of another MS SQL Server 2008.And I did install (or try to) on the SSRS Server. This leads to all the problems as mentioned in my first post.
Any other ideas? Somebody?
Thank you

Hi AndiMzD,
If you are moving CRM 4.0 DB to a new instance of SQL Server for CRM 2011 then you will have to perform few registry key settings as well for successfully upgrade. Are you upgrading from CRM 4.0 to CRM 2011 and did you perform those registry settings if that is the case?

Hi,
this is a new installation, not an upgrade.
The reporting extensions do not install with the CRM-Databases being on a named instance of another SQL Server 2008.
Any other ideas?
Thank you.

Hi Andi,
Try this
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947060
And Make sure that you have selected the same reporting server URL when creating the New Organization
Deployment Manager-> Organizations-> double click and confirm the URL.
Can you please confirm which version of SQL Server did you installed?
regards,
