Gut wrenching problems installing CE9 demo!!

[Seabz420]

Ok, I am installing CE9.0 demo on a system running Win2K3 and IIS6. First off, do I need to install anything first (CR9)? When I run through the install, everything seems fine, then when I try to start the RAS Lauchpad, I get a file not found. No-where this system is there a rassamples file. I've been reading about a sample folder that should install in the C:\Inetpub\

http://wwwroot

dir but nothing is there either. I've repaired and reinstalled numerous times with no success. Second question, when I browse to C:\Program Files\Crystal Decisions\Report Application Server 9\Samples and try to run index.html, the file redirect.asp opens up as code...what's up with this? All the ASP pages that are in the Crystal Decisions dir open up this way. Other ASP pages (other sites) open just fine. Has anyone had this much trouble installing this? Please help! Thanks,
Evan

IIS should be installed and running first.

I haven't installed the demo, does RAS come with it?

IIS is currently running. When I do the install, it seems like RAS isn't installing. When I do the install, I choose Custom and make sure everything is being installed to the HD. Once the install is done, I go back and try to modify the install (to make sure that all the options where installed) and I find that RAS doesn't completely install (or at least it looks like it).

Do you have SQL Server installed ? If you use msde you must get the updated version that works with Win2K3 rather than the version included with the CE install package.
