Reporting Services in Developer?

I understood that the developer edition had everything (component-wise) in it that Enterprise did, but my SQL2005 Developer installation had the Report Services checkbox greyed out on the initial install dialog, and they don't appear to be available.

Are Report Services not available in Developer Edition? If not, what's a lonely developer to do that wants to learn and/or play with Report Services? :)

Thanks.
Make sure IIS is installed on the box.|||

I'm assuming that you are using RS 2000. If so then there should have been a warning screen that told you why RS could not be installed.

|||My apologies, I should have said, but I'm not sure why you would assume that since I'm installing SQL2005. No, I'm talking about RS2005. There was no warning screen, etc. on the SQL2005 install, the RS2005 checkbox was just greyed out on the initial dialog and could not be checked. I suspect it's the missing IIS the previous poster mentioned, but I can't confirm that until tomorrow.

Does RS2005 require IIS6 (not available on XP Pro), or will it run on IIS5.1?

Thanks.

IIS5 should be OK

In 2005 setup there is a configuration report that is run. If IIS was not installed then this report should have given you a warning stating that RS could not be installed.
