Cannot Install Reporting Services Components!

I have set up a Virtual Machine that runs Windows Server 2003 x64.
When I come to install SQL Server Express edition the Reporting
Services components don't even show up as options for installation.
Oh, I'm installing Express edition with advanced services by the way
and I have the 3.0 .NET services already in place. I don't have IIS
installed though, and I don't know if that is related (it's the only
warning I get during install). I can only see Client and Database
components in the install. I'm trying to create a virtualized
environment where I can do some testing and run the Adventure Works
DBs... that way I have a place to train using the Microsoft training
modules. Tht way, it will not affect any of the real databases we use.IIS has to be there. Reporting Services is an asp.net application. RS 2005
is a 2.0 framework application (so 3.0 framework is of no use to it).

Ok, so I'll install IIS before running SQL Server installation.
Correction, I installed 2.0 .NET framework then I installed the SDK
(300mb) version on after that. Is that going to be ok? 3.0 is the
Vista one, my mistake. Is the initial reason why RS does not show up
in the installation because IIS is not there? It's just invisible.|||The issue with the 2.0 framework is whether the website is setup to be
running the framework. IIS has to be there for RS to install.

Ok I got it working. I had to setup up IIS and then make it so that
it will work in 32-bit mode. Afterwards it started working. I'm
thinking I could have just put the 180 day demo version on instead of
the express edition since it has more functionality. Oh well.
