SYMPTOMS
When you install Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you may receive the following error
message:
The specified path is not a metabase path.
Parameter name:Path
This problem occurs when you run the Environment Diagnostics wizard.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because one of the following conditions is true:
• An invalid path was entered for an existing installation of Microsoft SQL
Server Reporting Services (SSRS).
• The default Web site has a host header.
• The identifier of the default Web site is not 1.
• The port of the default Web site is not 80.
To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods.
Method 1
If you are connecting to an existing installation of Reporting Services, verify
that the path for the installation is entered correctly. The path should be
similar to the following path:
http://SSRSServerName/ReportServer
Note Replace the SSRSServerName placeholder with the name of the server where
Reporting Services is installed.

Method 2
If you are installing Reporting Services, verify the properties of the default
Web site. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click
Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
2. In Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager,
expand the Reporting Services server, and then click Web Sites.
3. Verify that the default Web site entry has the following
properties:
a. The Host header value column is blank.
b. The value in the Identifier column is 1.
c. The value in the Port column is 80.
