Installation - Only help file installs, No virtual directories or

Hi,
I am trying to install Reporting Services on Windows 2003 server (with no
service pack). Initially it says Visual Studio is not present which is fine,
i press next, then it goes into installation and there are no prompts for rs
components, sql database creation etc. once installation is finished, only
thing i can see is the reporting services help file in the menu. there are no
virtual directories.
Please help.
thanks
dhariwalWeird. I have two installations on 2003. Do you have IIS running. In 2003
you need to configure it to have asp.net applications supported. 2003 comes
much more locked down. You are correct that you can just ignore VS not being
present.

I also have Reporting Services running on 2003 at other customers and it
works like a charm. This is the first time i am stuck like this with RS. IIS
is up and running as well as asp.net, i have got front page extension
installed as well (do u think extensions are the culprit), one thing i
noticed is that there is default website as well as Microsoft Sharepoint
Administration. Do you think sharepoint is throwing this thing down.
If i re-install IIS, will it make any difference.
thanks

brainstorms on what it might be.
