sql server reporting services : Report Designer Install

I am trying to add report designer to a new development machine (XP
professional sp2) that has VS 2003 installed. The machine does not have IIS
installed. I am using the MSDN August 2005 DVD 2432.10 that has SQL &
Reporting Services. I keep getting the dialog box indicating a missing IIS
and ASP.net then an abend. I used to get a dialog box where I could select
the client options, but the install stops before presenting the options.
Anyone else encountering this condition?

TIA - Ron

Thanks for the reply.

But where do I designate to just install the designer? It stops before
there is any "selection" screen.

TIA -- Ron

What is happening is that you are trying to install everything, not just the
designer. RS requires IIS to be installed. The designer does not.

When setup runs it first checks your machine. I just tried this and it tells
me I don't have IIS, asp.net etc (which I don't on my development machine a
XP Pro SP2). However you can keep clicking next. There is one place where it
takes awhile for the next button to appear. After that I was told I already
have it installed so I could not get to the screen you would want. If setup
is crashing after you leave the spot where it tells you that you are missing
IIS and asp.net then I don't know what to tell you.

Thanks for the help.

Yes, those are the messages I get, and when I press next I only get a
sccreen where cancel is the only option. I just don't get the "selection"
screen.

Thanks for looking. Ron

How long did you wait? This screen takes (for whatever reason) a long time
for the next button to show up. Did you wait a few minutes. I know I waited
at least a minute. It is doing something in the background and eventually
the next button shows up.
