Report Manager Virtual Directory disabled

Hi,
I have problem with Reporting Services 2005 configuration on Win2k3.
Every setting has green mark, except Rprt Manager Virtual Directory
which is grey and Web Service Identity has not configured mark. And I'm
aware that during instalation RS didn't add Reports dir to IIS, but I
don't know why.
Has anyone met with that problem?
Regards,
BartoloHi,
Yes I have just this same problem - but on an XP machine with SP2 (needed
for a demo setup).
Complete new install of SQLExpress Adv version. ReportServer is installed,
but Report Manager is grayed out.
Any resolution anyone please '.
Regards
Graham

OK - I just managed to get past this problem :-).
The issue seems to be that I failed to select 'Report Manager' during
initial installation - even though I DID select Reporting Services - Report
Manager seems to be unselected by default !!.
The problem however is then :
1. Re-running the original SQL Express Adv installer, and checking Report
Manager - then tells me that there is nothing to install !! - it apparently
LIES.
2. Running Add/Remove programs, select SQL Server, Change takes me to the
re-install screens BUT my original installation folder was temporary and so
has been deleted :-O.
To get around this problem :
1. Run the main installer again, but at the point where it says nothing to
insall use Explorer to grab a copy of the installers temporary SQL 'Setup'
folder, and store this somewhere safe. Then let the installer exit and
delete its files - you're left with your copy ;-).
2. Run Add/Remove etc - select Report Manager and continue until it
complains that it cannot find 'sqlrun_rs.msi' (as its pointing at the (now
deleted) temp folder. Point this to your copied folder and the install
completes :-)).
Now run the config tool and it shows Report Manager is available !!.
Now all I have to do is to fix the ASP.NET permissions - as it now complains
that the ASP.NET account used to access the webservice (and which I cannot
change) does not have access to the GAC :-O.
Some hoops huh :-O. Maybe Microsoft can comment on the installation failures
?.
NB I already have RS installed on a 2003 server and went through a different
set of hoops to get it running on there :-O.
Hope this helps...
Regards
Graham

Thx for help, now I'm on holiday.
So I'd check your solution as soon as I come back to the job.
Then I'll share with my experience.
