SharePoint SSRS Add in fails – rsCustomAction.exe failed to configure, Error code is: 1

While configuring SharePoint Server Reporting Services (SSRS) at my client, I had a really strange problem on one of the farms… I couldn’t get the SSRS Addin to install. I tried rebooting, repairing but nothing. After digging out in the logs, I found this funny error message:

CA MSG : rsCustomAction.exe failed to configure, Error code is: 1

CustomAction RSSP_CAInstall_64 returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)






Also, for the information I was running SQL 2012 SP1 + Windows Server 2012 R2. You might also see something like this in the logs:



Long Story Short, after a lot of googling and asking for help from SQL & SharePoint masters, I found out that the bug is because I had a line commented in the web.config file of a web application. As strange as this may sound, after deleting the commented line, the install went through perfectly. I couldn’t find any official documentation on this, so if this worked for you please share it in the comments!

Drop a comment if this helped!

    I went through the same steps removing commented lines in Web Config and it was successful.

Problem: When Opening a word document I get the following error when Office Web Apps tries to render the document " There's a configuration problem preventing us from getting your document.

"Sorry, Word Web App can't open this ... document because the service is busy." Office WebApp

Problem: Intermitten requests are not returning the pdf/word documents.  Most requests are working and occasionally 1 request doesn't work.  Every 4th request tries to get the pdf to display on Office Web Apps for a few minutes without any error message and then stops trying and displays the message "Sorry, Word Web App can't open this ... document because the service is busy." Initial Hypothesis: Originally I thought it was only happening to pdfs but it is happening to word and pdf documents (I don't have excel docs in my system).  My monitoring software SolarWinds is badly configured on my OWA servers as the monitor is showing green, drining into the servers monitoring the 2 application monitors are failing.  The server should go amber if either of the 2 applications fail and in turn red after 5 minutes.  At this point I notice that I can't log onto my 4 OWA/WCA server.  Web request are not being returned.  I look at my KEMP load balancer and it says al
