Install reporting services after SQL sp2

Hello,
our customer tried to update his existing SQL Server 64 Bit Enterprise
Edition with reporting services to SP2. During Setup there was an error with
the reporting services. So the customer decided to uninstall the reporting
services and applied SP2 successfully after that.
Now he needs the reporting services for a new application. Can i install the
reporting services from the original media and then upgrade that reporting
services installation to sp2?What do i have to take care of?
My plan was to install reporting services via software. Change SQL Server
Installation and add reporting services.
I tried that but the setup then comes up with the warning that there is a
version change. I think that is because the sql server has another
patchlevel than the original installation media. Can i ignore that?
thanks in advance

Although I haven't tried what you are doing, there is not really any
alternative as there is no slipstreamed releases of SQL Server that will go
straight in as SP2, so I guess you have to ignore the error and continue. It
is probably better to install this by hand!
