Hello all,
I have just started studying/training myself on SQL 2005 Business Intelligence-Implementation & Maint, using the Microsoft Press Training Kit.

I need to "install" IIS on my home PC that runs Vista. This is required for Reporting Services.

I was able to locate the area in Control Panel where this component can be activated/installed. IIS has numerous sub components. I tried to install it by checking the top node. It ran for a long time, about 20 to 30 minutes, perhaps more. It finally returned an error indicating something like "some components could not be installed".

Can you guys provide any suggestions. I already have SQL Server 2005 installed on my machine, two instances. One instance has Reporting services, Analysis Services and SSIS installed.

I think I read in an old thread that someone had a similar problem an they uninstalled SQL Server, then installed IIS.

Thanks for reading my post.

Which components can't be installed? How many components did you select and what are those?

Oddly enough, the error message did not indicate which components could not be installed. I clicked on the top level node that is labeled: "Internet Information Services". Directly below this node are the following: "FTP Publishing Service", "Web Management Tools" and "World Wide Web Services"; which in turn have further sub-nodes/services/etc.

The text did not elaborate on anything specific, it merely indicated to "check" "IIS".

Thanks for the reply.
