Reporting Services Database not supported by my instance of sql se

Hello,
I downloaded the trial version of Sql Server Reporting Services from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=BA517C01-2E2F-4BC7-84AF-149B7637F807&displaylang=en
But when I try to install the service I get the error message that the
instance of Sql Server that I am running does not support the Reporting
Services Database when I get to the part that asks what account to use. The
default is Service Account, but I also tried Sql Server Account (my instance
of Sql Server is in mixed mode).
I am trying to install the Trial version of Reporting Services for
evaluation on a windows XP computer that contains Sql Server 2000 Standard
Edition (for desktop) Service Pack 4. The Microsoft Management Console Help
About says Service Pack 2. Any suggestions would be appreciated if it is
possible to install the trial Reporting Services on my computer with the
current install of Sql Server, and how this can be accomplished.
Thanks,
RichHi Rich,
I don't believe this will work. Try Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2003
Server, with a server-based SQL Server, not a desktop version.
As far as I know, desktop-SQL Server is not supported. But this is just
as far as I know...
Kind Regards,
Bj=F6rn|||Bjorn is correct, REporting Services is not supported on the develpment
edition of SQL. The best way run it on windows XP for evaluation is to
get a hold of some VM software (VM Ware or MS Virtual Machine) and
install Windows Server and MS SQL Server Evaluation Editions on the
Virtual Machine. Reporting Services will work in this setup.
Cheers,
Guytz72|||Thanks for your reply. You are probably correct. I just needed to confirm
this.
Thanks again,
Rich

Developers edition of SQL Server will run on XP - I have run on this
configuration). It will not run with Personal Edition or MSDE. Are you sure
you have the developers edition of SQL Server and not Personal Edition?
You say you have Standard Edition for SQL Server (Desktop). I am not aware
of this designation of product. My guess is that this is Personal Edition
which is not supported.
So, to clarify. You definitely can run in XP but you need to have Developers
edition of SQL Server.

computer. But it is almost like Enterprise Sql Server. I have Enterprise
manager, Query Analyzer, books on line, even Analsys services. But the disk
did say personal edition when loading onto winxp. But if I load the same
disk onto a server, it is Standard edition. Where can I get the developer's
edition of sql server? can I upgrade my personal edition?
Thanks,
Rich

comes through that.
