sql server reporting services:

Hallo,

I've tried several times installing RS on a particular machine. The
installation finishes without error messages and without installing the RS
components.

During RS installation on a member server (Win2003, SQL2000 Std SP3a, RS
2000 Std) i dont get the usual Server Components choices and so on. The
usual warning about Visual Studio apperas. But then as i click "Next" in the
warning box the installation just continues on. The box "To continue please
click next" appears but i dont get a chance to click next as the
installation just goes on "automatically". The installation rolls on and on
but after it says it finished successfully the IIS mappings and the RS DBs
arent there.

In this newsgroup I found someone (Johan - post: RS Installation fail
without message) with the same issue, although MS (Brad Syputa) took a look
at it, it did not seem resolved.

Does anybody know what to do about this?

Don't know for sure if this is your problem but we had the same issue
when we were trying to install RS on a couple development laptops.
Turned out, we *thought* we were running SQL Server developer on those
laptops. We were actually running SQL Server Personal. If there's any
disagreement between the versions, it won't show you the server
components.

Confirm your SQL Version and the version of your RS CD. My guess is
that you are trying to install Reporting Services Developer on SQL
Server Standard or something like that.

Hope this helps,
Tim
