Reporting Services Instance not found

Hi,
I am getting the following error - "Report Services instance could not be found". However, from services, I am able to start and stop SQL Server Reporting Services. I get the error when I try to connect to Reporting Services from Management Studio. I am using Sept CTP.

How do I verify that I have this installed correctly? From the folder structure, I'm seeing MSSQL.1, MSSQL.2, and MSSQL.3, so I am pretty sure I installed all components that's on the CD.

Any help is appreciated!

Me too - I have this problem and don't see the simple fix.

It seems you need to "configure" reporting services first. From the operating system Start menu, go to the SQL Server 2005 group and select "Configuration Tools", "Reporting Services Configuration". Unfortunately for me as I configure each step the configure tool crashes. I then restart the tool and it looks OK; but now, when I attempt to connect, I get a much more verbose error message.

Client found response content type of 'text/html; charset=utf-8', but expected 'text/xml'.
The request failed with the error message:
