I should set up a test machine and try to reproduce this problem. However,
there is no any available test machine currently =(
I'll try it out as soon as I find an available test machine on my test
server.

Thanks Ekram.
I don't remember the exact command parameters I used, but I am certain
I tried your example below. When installing in "quiet" mode, the
dialog simply disappeared and an event appeared in the event log
stating the installation was successful. However, I determined that
nothing had been upgraded, so it was a bogus message.
Removing the /qn tag, I saw that even though I specified RS_Server for
upgrade, it still did not detect it.
I am wondering if there is merit in this theory:
1. My server is running ONLY the SSRS services.
2. SSMS is not installed.
3. SSRS is up and working, but the setup wizard is not detecting it.
4. Since the setup wizard is offering to install SSMS and other
"shared" components, could this be a prerequisite for upgrading?
Maybe it is looking for a certain library or resource that is only
available when SSMS or one of the other components is installed.
5. There is no constraint in my installing extra components/features.
The person who came before me assumed we didn't need any of the other
stuff so left it out.
What do you think?
