I've read the installation notes that say to run the splash.hta file. Is this correct to start the intallation wizard? If so which file in which directory (TOOLS or SERVER)?[b]Second Question:[/b] I've also watched a quick video on installation of SQL Server 2005 Standard edition and noticed that if you choose to install Reporting Services, which i want to, there is a warning that appears about IIS. Is it better to install IIS before i run the installation or after?Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:17:52 GMTbkirk
