Error Installing RSWebParts.cab

Question

Hi,
I need to Install the RS Web parts on my DEV SharePoint server.
I have the RS installed and running on the SP Server but in Native mode.
I followed the guidelines from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159772.aspx 
If I use PS cmdlet, I get this:
Install-SPWebPartPack : Failed to extract the cab file in the solution.
At line:1 char:1
+ Install-SPWebPartPack -LiteralPath D:\temp\RSWebParts.cab -GlobalInstall
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (Microsoft.Share...tallWebPartPack:SPCmdletIns
   ebPartPack], SPException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPCmdletInstallWebPartPack
If I use STSADM, I get this:
Failed to extract the cab file in the solution.
What can I do?
Help is really appreciatted.
Many thanks,
DD

Hi DD,
Just as you said, we can use the SharePoint 2.0 Web Parts Report Explorer and Report Viewer that are included with Reporting Services to access report server content on a SharePoint site from a native mode report server.
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it. Based on my research, this is a confirmed problem with the SQL2012 SP1 version of RSWebParts.cab. To work around this issue, we can try to copy a SSRS 2008 or SSRS 2008 R2 version of the Web
Part to the E drive, then run the SharePoint Management Shell as administrator, and run the following PowerShell command:
Install-SPWebPartPack -LiteralPath "E:\RSWebParts.cab" –GlobalInstall
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
