Report Server installation is not initialized / Can not activate

Hi folks!
After the installation of Reporting Services i received the following error:
The report server installation is not initialized.
First i just continued with the installation of the Service Packs and after
that I tried to activate it with rsactivate, but this didn't work because of
an other error.
rsactivate -c"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Reporting
Services\ReportServer\RSReportServer.config" -t
Result:
Failure starting the web service:
System.Exception: Unexpected database error (-2147159548) 0x80040154
--> System.Exception: 0x80040154

System:
Win2000
MDAC 2.8 SP1
SQL Server 2000 SP4, with all the Service Packs for Reporting Services
installed.
I'd appreciate help from Microsoft staff on this topic!
I did everything that came to my mind to fix this:
- reg_iis -i
- MDAC reinstalled
- rskeymgmt -d:
--> Result: Unexpected database error (-2147159548) 0x80040154
- deletet encryption keys manually (in the ReportServer database)

This user is a local admin, so why do I get these errors?
What can i do to activate Reporting Services? Are there some things a can
change manually in the database?
Thx for any help
YaraIt was the MDAC.
The automatic installation of MDAC failed all the time without
prompting an error message, that's why I didn't notice it.
I had to manually check every dll and overwrite older versions. Then
reregister it.
Hope this will help other users.
