    I've seen in with a lot of different versions and ran into the error at a couple of client sites as well. I don't think it's just limited to any specific version numbers but rather configuration issues. I've seen it caused by not restarting SSRS after patching, having Report Manager pointing to the wrong database server, not patching the (correct) database server and SSRS together, not having RSExecRole as a member of dbo on the two databases, having errors when applying patches that no one doing patching noticed, etc.

    I guess I haven't seen it be specific to 164/163 but rather general patching process or configuration issues that would apply to all versions.
