Reporting Service and SPS

The problem when installing Reporting Services when SPS is already on the machine lies in Application Pools, however according to microsoft the installations of both systems have logic in them to detect each other and work around the problem.

If however this "logic" fails, you can try the following.

• Install Reporting Services (Express) and ignore all the errors it brings up.
• If your lucky the IIS reporting services directories will be created for you, otherwise use the report server configuration on the start menu to set up new directories. It simple you just click on the New button.
• DO NOT CHANGE THE APPLICATION POOLS FOR THESE NEW DIRECTORIES!!!
