Issue/Introduction
Problem:
From CA Identity Manager r12.6.5 to 12.6.7 tried to upgrade the the report server from 3.3 to 4.1 and the new version is not working after I finished successfully the setup.
The installation ends with no errors, but the program shows an error while we try to open the Central Configuration Manager or set up the servers on management console.
This is the screen telling that BI was installed successfully (this is in Portuguese Language saying that the installation of BI 4.1 SP5 finished successfully). PS: this problem also may happen in another languages as English.

This is not always happening. It was installed in one another VM machine and it works fine, only on customer server it crashes with error for this specific situation.
This is the error they get:
<Please see attached file for image>
The Windows is Server 2008 R2 SP1 64bit, 8gb ram
The difference of test VM and the customer server is only that one is windows is Enterprise and the customer is Standard, but this is not a restrictions in compatibility matrix
Resolution:
This is a known error reported by SAP support under these notes and the cause is that the correct Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 distributables are not installed.
