Install Report Designer (RS 2000) on VS2005 Express?

Does anyone know if it's possible to install the Report Designer component of Reporting Services 2000 on one the Visusal Studio Express versions? My client is running SQL Server 2000 in production, and wants to evaluate Reporting Services for an upcoming project. However, they aren't currently running any version of Visual Studio 2003. I know we can buy VB.Net 2003 and then install the report designer on that machine, but they'd like to get buy as cheaply as possible (like, free); hence the interest in using VS Express.
They don't want to commit to SQL Server 2005 or I'd suggest they install the CTP on a development machine and play with Reporting Services 2005.
Thanks,
