  I am installing RS developer edition on a Windows 2000 server using a remote database and I get the install completed with the message that the Web Service was not initialized and that I will need to initialize it manually.  In BOL it says you need to run rsactivate.exe to initialize it.  When I run rsactiviate with the trace on the error is that the Web Srvice has not generated a public key.  Any know how I can generate the public key?

  No, but I would like to know the answer as well. I've just run into the same problem.

  Try the MS SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services Community Site:

  This is apparently a fairly common problem.
