Installation Problem

  • Hi,

    I have just finished installing Visual Studio .net 2003. Now I am trying to install the reporting services. However, in the prerequisites stage, i get the following alerts!

    1)ASP.NET is not installed/registered with your webserver

    2)This edition of Reporting Services you are installing only supports installation of the Report Server and Report Manager components on a server operating system

    Does anyone know why these are coming up?

    Thanks

  • Reporting Services is particular about the order of installation.  The ASP.NET component must be installed after IIS in order for it to be registered.  Just re-install ASP.NET after configuring IIS.

     

    Good luck.

  • Errors could be for several reasons, and you don't indicate your O/S....

    RS version must be the same as the SQL version....i.e. standard for standard..... It can be loaded w/o VS.NET but better done after as it will check for presence.

    Your errors are most likely from incorrect SPs. If Server 2000 you must have SP4, SQL must be SP3a.

    SP4 delivers the impersonate policy that you need for configuration of the IWAM account. There is also an IWAM error that occurs that requires a hotfix 859 -- search on this at Microsoft for details.

    You need the .NET framework 1.1.4322.

     Ensure that you have IIS installed with all components, SP4 installed, the .NET framework, install all the critical updates and your problem will evaporate.

    If 2003 also ensure the updates are installed and I believe that you may have to register IIS/.NET - 2003 comes "locked down" - so it will depend upon the order of installation if this is available.

    Test by steps - check IIS is working, before installing the .NET framework, confirm that is working before moving on to RS.

    Tips from "bitter" experience!

    If you really screw up the installation ensure that you use the installation disk to uninstall - don't use add/remove.

    If you have a domain controller - check the specific instructions for rsactivate - including the re-boot requirement - they are correct.

    The .NET service must run under the IWAM user and ReportServer service must run under the user/account you nominate at start-up.....
