Configuring reporting services

hello experts

I was always told that the only dumb question is the one not asked, so here goes

I am trying to start reporting services, but it does not even show up on the configuration panel in the start menu

During the installation of SQL 2005 Express, one warning I recieved is that Internet Information Services

(ISS) is not installed or disabled. Upon checking the control panel, I did not find it. Googling it brought me

back to MicroSoft, where I can download it (for a nominal fee) Is this what I am going to need to do or am I

missing something here?

thanks

IIS is on your Windows install disc. To install it, go to Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows components and tick Internet Information Services, the rest is obvious, and you will be prompted for your install disc.

If you already have it installed it will already show as ticked here, or you can try and run iis.msc which should be located in %system32%\inetsrv\iis.msc.

Sorry, but i can't tell you what you will have to configure in RS once you have installed IIS, it might be just simpler to reinstall RS.

Thanks for your response

I tried this but there is no listing for internet information services in the Add/Remove Windows Components. Is this because I am using Windows XP Home Edition?

thanks again
