Reporting Services Configuration -- Database Setup

Hi, I have installed SQL Server 2005 EVAL edition in my machine.

I am not able to configure the Database Setup Page in the Reporting Services Configuration. When i am doing configuration it is displaying the following error.

If I selecct Credentials type as Windows or SQL Server

the error is "Using other editions of SQL Server for report data sources and/or the report server database is not suported in this edition of Reporting Services."

if i select Credentials type as Service Credentials

the error is "A virtual directory must first be created before performing this operation."

Thanking you.

When using the tool, work top down on the left hand pane.

For the first error, it is telling you that the SKU of SQL Server you are using does not allow what you are trying to do. An example of this would be trying to use an Express SKU of RS with the database on a Standard edition of SQL server. Additionally, Express SKU does not allow data sources or databases outside of itself.

I have not seen this error with the Evaluation edition trying to configure on Evaluation edition. If this is the case, please let me know. bradsy(at)microsoft.com
