How to Uninstall Just SQL Reporting

sql server reporting services:

I am trying to install the Team Foundation Server Database onto my SQL
Server. Set-up fils with the following error:

"SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services service is installed on the data-tier
computer. The service should instead be on the application-tier computer.
Uninstall SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services service from the data-tier
computer and run setup again."

However, if I go to Add/Remove programs and select SQL Server, if I
uninstall Reporting Services, it looks like it also will uninstall the SQL
Engine. This is a production server and I do not think that is what I want to
do. Is there a way to uninstall just the reporting services?

thank-you!

Michael,

You can selectively uninstall any specific component of a Sql Server
installation. Just make sure you don't uninstall any of the database
instances or database services. Perhaps this is easier to see when you
use a command line uninstall. For instance (I took this from the MS
sample install script):

start /wait setup.exe /qn INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER REMOVE=RS_Server
