Hello,
I'm new to MS Reporting Services so please forgive the newbie question.
I downloaded the trial version from the microsoft website. When I ran the
installer on my database server (SQL Server 2000, SP3) it gave me 2 warnings
saying 1) Visual Studio.NET was not installed, and, 2) IIS was not
configured correctly (i'm running Windows 2003 server w/ IIS6).
First of all, why would I want to install those two components on a database
server?
Anyways - it allowed me to proceed so I did and then I noticed that it only
gave me the option to install CLIENT tools. SO, my question is: Is there a
"server" component that needs to be installed on the database server? If so,
where do I download it from because I cannot find it anywhere....
very confused.
thanks in advance,
-ZDyes there is a SQL Server component and also 2 IIS components
You will need to installthe client bits on a box that has VStudio 2003 to develop reports

Thanks for the reply. Do you know where I can download the SQL and IIS
components? They do not seem to be part of the file I downloaded from
microsoft: RSEVAL.exe (137,915 KB)
thanks!

I downloaded the Developer Edition From MSDN Universal so I could try it out.
In any event, you have to have at least SQL server Developer, STD or Enterprise to install - Personal edition will not work
also, You must patch up to SQL server SP3a before you install
You will need IIS 5X or better and VStudio 2003 for development
If you have a lic. copy of Standard or Enterprise edition of SQL Server you can request a free copy of the SQL Srv Reporting Services CD from MS for the price of shipping and handling.

http://www.microsoft.com/sql/reporting/howtobuy/faq.asp|||Hi Guys,
OK so everytime I run the installer it says IIS is not configured correctly
so this is why (i'm assuming) its not letting me install the server
components.
BUT what's wrong? I'm running IIS6 on Windows Server 2003. IIS works just
fine, i have over 10 sites hosted on the box....
Is there any documentation anywhere that explains EXACTLY what's needed in
terms of IIS config?
thanks and sorry for the hassles, this is killing me here...

active. You can later move it with a little work but the installer
expects IIS to have this orginal website setup.
I think this article describes the problem and tells you how to later
move the website which I would guess is what you will want to do.

Thanks for the link, it was excellent.
Unfortunately I actually deleted my Default Web Site, so, is it sufficient
to just re-create one or was there something 'special' about it?
I've tried to create a new website called "Default Web Site" and made it
accessible from http://localhost and http://serverName and the installer
still doesnt seem to pick that up... am I missing something?
Thanks!

http://www.advernets.com/techshare/article20042707.htm
But if your using IIS 5.0 the only way from what I can see is to re-install IIS 5.0 to regain Default Web Site. Someone might try saving config file for IIS 5.0 and doing the same thing I did with my IIS 6.0 solution.
