Reporting Services Failed Install

Hi all,

I have an SBS server that I tried to installed SQL Server 2005 Express edition for some testing/dev work (non-production server here) and although SQL installed, the reporting services component failed with the following.

--
Machine : RAND
Product : Reporting Services
Error : The setup has encountered an unexpected error while Setting reporting service and share point exclusion path. The error is: Fatal error during installation.

--
Machine : RAND
Product : Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services
Product Version : 9.1.2047.00
Install : Failed
Log File : C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Files\SQLSetup0001_RAND_RS.log
Last Action : InstallFinalize
Error String : The setup has encountered an unexpected error while Setting reporting service and share point exclusion path. The error is: Fatal error during installation.
Error Number : 29528

Could use some help figuring that out...heh. I am able to shoot the entire log (the SQLSetup0001.RAND.RS.log) but it's like 10MB, and I didn't see a file upload option here. Any help is much appreciated though!

As you have SBS installed you should define the exclude path for your Report Server. See the Screencasts on my website for more information about defining an exclude path on the Sharepoint system. The Screencast cab be found under the tab nav bar entry "Screencast"
