How do I install SQL 2000 Reporting Services?

[sabloomer]

This is a repeat of thread 962-1320329 without the typo in the subject...

I am trying to figure out what I have done wrong. I have installed SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition. Everything I read said that SRS was included in Patch 2, but Patch 4 was available and included everything in Patch 2. I ran the patch and am now at version 8.00.2039 SP4. I realized that I did not install Analysis Manager, so I went back to the CD and installed it. In addition, I have installed VB.net 2003 Standard Edition. Because the VB.net Standard Edition does not support SQL server I installed an instance of MSDE to use as my data source as well.

My expectation was that by installing SP4 that SRS "would just be there", but the book I am trying to learn from says I need to run a setup package. What do I need to do so I can get SRS installed?

Thank You,

SRS comes as a separate disk from SQL Server 2000 because it wasn't released until 2003 or 2004. If you don't have a disk of SRS 2000, then you can't install it. You might check MS's website and see if they still have a download for it, but they might not since it's now packaged with 2005.
