Installation

When trying to install Reporting Services 2000 (Report Manager's server
components) on a Windows Server, the installation does not completely finish.
I use the setup in the first folder on the CD (the default option from
Add/Remove Programs.
Goes through the first part and tells me that installation is complete.
Goes to the screen that tells me I do not have Visual Studio installed on
that box (this is ok because this server is only going to house server
capabilities).
Then it goes to the next installation screen which tell me that installation
may take a few minutes. This screen completes and the message comes up that
I am finished.
The problem is that I never get to the part of the installation that asks
me about security, server\client part installation, etc.
If i try to get to the server's report server, it is not there.
In the start menu, the only shortcut made for RS is books online.
What is being done differently from this installation than past installations?Make sure when you get to the part that shows which things are being
installed that the Server Components are on the list. In prior installs
I know that if the Default WebSite was removed or shut off in IIS then
I wasn't even given the option of installing the Server Components.
If the Server Components are not installed then you won't see the
Report Manager or anything else after the install completes.
