I put them to a folder, and then exec RS.exe to call an rss script to do the deployment.
This has a number of problems 1. We rely on RS.exe being on the path to find it. This should be the case, but we have had issues particularly where two versions of SQL Server are on the same machine. 2. Different versions of RS.exe can be a problem 3. The SSRS web service is in my opinion unreliable within an installer - it may not always respond, or respond in a timely enough fashion. We actually get around this by not failing the install if the reports deployment does not succeed. 4. Its messy passing in variables A possible alternative would be to put them in a folder and then call a small application to upload the reports to SSRS post install.
