Cannot install RS on a SQLserver 2005 SP1 installation

The situation is as follow:

Sqlserver 2005 installed, reporting services NOT installed

SP1 installed

Trying to add Reporting Services results in an eror messages about incompliant versions. Nothing happens

Is there anybody who has a clue?

No. You cannot add instance-awared components when SP1 is applied. But you can do as follows,

1. Install RS RTM

2. Apply SP1.

Ok, thats why it did not work

What dou you mean with RS RTM?

And after the installation of RS RTM and SP1 this is a complete and normal Sql server 2005 installation with Reporting Services?

SQL Server does not ship a slipstreamed version (1 install that brings you up to SP1 level), so as Jiongxiong mentioned, you'll need to install the RTM version of RS from your original media, then apply SP1 to the newly installed instance. Then your box will be at the normal SP1 level for all components.

Thanks,

So I am still stuck at the beginning.

on the server the installation refuse to install extra components.

I hope that there is a better solution than completely deinstall SQlserver2005 and do a complete reinstall since this is a production server and I want to avoid the risk from a deinstall
