Problem in Installing 64-bit Reporting Services

Hi,

Trying to install 64-bit SQL Server 2005 RTM on Windows 2003 x64 Server with SP 1. The Reporting services option is not enabled in the installation steps. The installation process gets completed, but the Reporting Services is not installed.

The server does have IIS installed, the .NET framework 2.0 is installed by SQL Server 2005 RTM itself. Am I doing anything wrong.

Can anyone help/suggest ?

Thanks in advance.

Setup should show error message in case of error.

Also, you can check setup log files in %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup BootStrap\LOG\Files

Unfortunately, the setup doesnt show any error. The Reporting Services option is not "enabled" during the installation steps.

Can anyone suggest any other forum, where installation issues are discussed.

Thanks in advance.

Rajeeb,

We have tested RS successfully on many x64 machines, so it is definitely possible! If RS is not selectable during setup, it is because some prereq is not met. Please look carefully at the System Configuration Check screen for anything that is not "green". It is possible for IIS to be installed, but not in a configuration that allows RS to be installed.
