How do I install Reporting services?

I come from access development background and I am new to SQL Server. I am
trying to learn it using the Developer edition. When I was installing SQL
server 2005 Developer edition, I came to the "Components to Install, Select
the components to install or upgrade"on the setup form , I noticed that
"Reporting Services" option was disabled is there a reason why? how can I
install it. After instalation, I tried to use the configure tools to
configure Report server I got the message "No report servers were found on
the specified machine.details: Invalid namespace". I had a dialog box
entiteled "Report Server Installation Instance Selection" with the Machine
Name box enabled and the machine name was entered but the "Instance name box"
was disabled? any idea.
thanks

to clarify this a bit, there is no reporting services components of the
Windows 2003 Server system, but Reporting Services has the
prerequisites of IIS Service. This has to be installed from the
"Add/Remove Software" panel with the appropiate Windows 2003 Server
media.

installing the Developer edition locally on Windows xp professional. is there
away to do it? is there another place (microsoft website) where I get IIS
service?
thanks

is OK. You need to have IIS running (install it if you haven't. Since you
have WinXP Pro, you are OK).

Add/Remove, then on the left there will be a selection called something like
Windows Components. You need to have IIS running prior to installing RS. You
also need to have SQL Server Installed. If you are installing RS 2005 then
you can install both SQL Server and RS at the same time. Note you will have
two installs. The server install and then the client tools. I strongly
recommend using RS 2005.

and from the original cd and made all the selections it asked me. I then
restarted my computer but nothing happened. it does not show on the control
panel>add remove program and it does not show on the all programs menu. how
do I know if it was installed?
