Answer Wiki:
Is the SQL Server Reporting Services installed on the CRM server? Sounds like SSRS isn't setup correctly.

I don’t think that CRM installes SSRS it self. I beleive that it needs to be installed and working before you install CRM. CRM should just be adding it’s reports into the existing report server.

I just installed CRM 4 and that’s the way it needed to be done.
